  • John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry tycoon and philanthropist who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in New York in 1839, he moved with his family to northeast Ohio in 1853. At age sixteen, he began his involvement with the business world as an assistant bookkeeper for a produce commission business. He soon began his own produce commission company before joining the oil refinery industry in 1863. He established Standard Oil of Ohio in 1870, and this is where he made most of his wealth. By 1878, the company controlled 90% of all U.S. oil refineries (it was declared a trust by the U.S government in 1911). In addition to his business interests, Rockefeller regularly donated a portion of his income to charities supporting education and public health. Rockefeller died in 1937 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. He is widely recognized as the wealthiest American of all time. Important Dates . July 8, 1839: John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, New York. 1853: The Rockefeller family moves to Strongsville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 1863: Rockefeller and business partner Maurice B. Clark build an oil refinery in “The Flats” area of Cleveland. 1864: Rockefeller marries Laura Celestia “Cettie” Spelman. January 10, 1870: Standard Oil of Ohio is formed and grows rapidly over the next decade, eventually forming a monopoly. 1903: Rockefeller’s General Education Board is founded. 1911: U.S. Supreme Court declares that Standard Oil Company of New Jersey is a trust, and it is broken into subsidiaries.

    John Hajnal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 9/20/11 9:16 PM John Hajnal From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Hajnal, FBA (b. 26 November 1924 in Darmstadt, then People's State of Hesse, Weimar Germany – d. 30 November 2008 in London), born John Hajnal-Kónyi, was a Hungarian-British academic in the fields of mathematics and economics (statistics). Contents 1 Life 1.1 Education 1.2 Main scientific work 1.3 Private life 1.4 Career 2 Notes 3 References Life Hajnal was born in Weimar Germany as the son of Jewish Hungarian-born parents. In 1936 his parents left then Nazi-ruled Germany where, as a Jew, the ten-year old Hajnal had been made to sit at the back of the class, and placed him in a Quaker school in the Dutch countryside while they arranged to settle in Britain. Education In 1937, John was reunited with his parents in London, where he attended University College School, Hampstead. At age 16, he entered Balliol College, Oxford. He gained a first there in economics, philosophy and politics in 1943. His skills in academic-level mathematics were mostly autodidactical. Main scientific work Hajnal is best known for identifying, in a landmark 1965 paper at LSE [1] the historical pattern of marriage of northwest Europe in which people married late and many adults remained single. The geographical boundary of this unusual marriage pattern is now known as the Hajnal line. Private life He was, from 1950 until her death in 2008, married to Nina Lande, a German-born teacher. They had three daughters and a son.

  • Status of Mangrove Forests in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies
    Caribbean Journal of Science, Vol. 47, No. 2-3, 291-304, 2013 Copyright 2013 College of Arts and Sciences University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Status of Mangrove Forests in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies Rahanna Juman and Deanesh Ramsewak, Institute of Marine Affairs, Hilltop Lane, Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago [email protected] ABSTRACT- Much of the mangrove forests in the Caribbean have been impacted by human activities, and now they are projected to be negatively affected by sea-level rise especially where they are constrained on the landward side by built development, or starved of sediment. This study assessed the status and trends of mangrove forests in Trinidad and Tobago so that response to human induced changes and climate changes can be determined. Mangrove forests in Trinidad and Tobago were mapped between 2008-2010 using high resolution satellite imagery (2000-2007), geographic information systems (GIS) technology and extensive ground-truthing surveys. Their sizes were determined. In Trini- dad, mangrove coverage was estimated at 7,532 ha on the west coast, 1,132.8 ha on the east coast, 481.3 ha on the south coast, 0.3 ha on the north coast and 222.9 ha in Tobago. Mangrove coverage was higher than anticipated, perhaps because of inaccuracies in historical data and in some cases because of re-growth following past disturbances. While some mangrove forests are negatively impacted by land-use changes and erosion, there are instances where forests have overgrown freshwater marshes, or are expanded onto mudflats. KEYWORDS: Mangrove forest, baseline maps, land-use change, coastal erosion, climate change INTRODUCTION an would be variable since there is a wide range Coastal areas worldwide are vulnerable of wetland types and geomorphic settings in the to an unprecedented combination of climate region.

Chapter 2 MANGROVE CONSERVATION IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, WEST INDIES Rahanna A. Juman and Kahlil Hassanali Institute of Marine Affairs, Hilltop Lane Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago ABSTRACT Located at the southernmost end of the Caribbean island chain on the continental shelf of South America, Trinidad and Tobago are continental islands (4,828 km2 and 300 km2 in area respectively), which were separated from the South American mainland in recent historical times. As a consequence, their flora and fauna are relicts of the South American biota, with minor variation, and are rich in biodiversity. Trinidad and Tobago‟s mangroves fall within the Amazon-Orinoco-Maranhão mangrove complex in the Orinoco bioregion. Mangrove forests are found on all coasts of Trinidad particularly the Atlantic and Gulf and Paria coasts, while in Tobago, mangroves are mainly concentrated in the southwest end of the island.
