Cut-Off Date for 'English' Lettings Distribution: Approved:  Manufacturers (18)  Surveyors (33)  Main Office (30)  Consultants (34)  Local Govt SUPERSEDED BY EB 20-038 New York State Department of EFFECTIVE 9/3/20 Transportation EI ENGINEERING INSTRUCTION 96-038 Title: Cut-off Date for 'English' Lettings Distribution: Approved: Manufacturers (18) Surveyors (33) Main Office (30) Consultants (34) Local Govt. (31) Contractors/AGC(39) /s/ P. J. Clark 07/26/96 Regions/Agencies (32) ____________( ) Philip J. Clark, Deputy Chief Engineer (Design) Date Issuances Affected This issuance supersedes the guidance contained in EB 95-014, Exceptions to September 1996 Metric Deadline. This instruction will not be incorporated into any other document but rather stands on its own as design policy relating to metrication. The instruction will be superseded if it becomes necessary to revise the policy or when there is no longer a need for guidance in dealing with lingering English designs. Purpose To establish a date after which the Department will no longer support the letting of projects which are not designed using metric units of measure. These non-metric projects are commonly referred to as 'English' projects or designs. Background In August 1993, the Department announced its intention to produce construction projects in metric by September 30, 1996. This date was selected consistent with the Federal Highway Administration's deadline for requiring federally aided construction contracts to be metric. Although the Federal Highway Administration's deadline has changed to September 30, 2000, the Department is continuing to metricate consistent with the original schedule. Significant changes in the Department's capital construction program, however, have resulted in many English designs being rescheduled for letting after September 1996. In order to define the length of time during which the Department must maintain the capability for letting both English and metric designs, it was decided that a cut-off date would be established after which English lettings would no longer be routinely supported. A survey was conducted to identify all the English projects still being progressed and their intended letting dates. The cut-off date set forth below is based on a review of this data. Of the 249 English projects scheduled for letting after September 30, 1996, only 17 are scheduled to be let after the cut-off date (and several of these are local projects which are not affected by this policy). Policy The issuance of design policy, standards, guidance, specifications, standard sheets, bridge design data sheets, bridge detail sheets, test procedures/methods, etc. which are to become effective for lettings after December 31, 1998 will be metric only. The English designs remaining to be let by the Department are identified on the project listings accompanying this instruction. There shall be no other English designs progressed for letting by the Department. There is no need to request individual metric exceptions for any of the listed English designs (as long as they don't slip past the Federal Highway Administration's September 30, 2000 metric deadline). The Regions are strongly encouraged to convert to metric any English designs which will be let after December 31, 1998. However, any Region that chooses to let one of the listed projects in English after December 31, 1998 will be responsible for submitting a complete English PS&E. The Main Office will no longer maintain English versions of shelf notes, specifications, etc. for insertion into the PS&E for English designs submitted for a letting after December 31, 1998. (See Discussion below) Applicability This policy is applicable to projects which will be let by the Department. The policy does not apply to projects which will be let by local governments or by other agencies such as the New York State Thruway Authority. However, agencies which use the Department's Standard Specifications should be cautioned that the 1990 English version will not be maintained after 1998 and that supplies of the book are limited. Discussion · Letting an English Project after the Cut-off Date As noted in the Policy section above, the Department will not maintain English versions of design issuances after the cut-off date of December 31, 1998. Regions continuing to progress an English job for letting after that date will be responsible for submitting a complete English PS&E including English versions of all necessary shelf notes and special specifications which would normally have been inserted by the Main Office. In the fall of 1998, the Design Quality Assurance Bureau will provide instuctions to those Regions which are continuing to progress English designs to letting after December 31, 1998. These instructions will include copies of the then current English versions of shelf notes and specifications which the Region may need along with guidance to help the Region decide which notes are needed for a given project. The above assumes that adequate supplies of the 1990 English version of the Standard Specifications exist after 1998 to permit continued use for the few remaining English designs. · Support for Projects in Construction Support of English projects which continue under construction after December 31, 1998 must ΕΙ 96−038 Παγε οφ 5 3 continue. Therefore, whenever design policy, standards, specifications, etc. are being revised or issued in metric only, the Construction Division must be consulted to determine whether there is a need to incorporate corresponding English guidance in on-going construction projects. If so, the organization developing the metric guidance will work with the Construction Division to prepare corresponding English material for the Construction Division to incorporate into appropriate construction contracts. Questions Questions regarding this engineering instruction may be directed to Steve Witham of the Design Quality Assurance Bureau at (518) 457-7284.

  • BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus
    BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus (1837–1907): Sculptor and painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes (showing everyday life). Antrobus was born in England but came to Philadelphia in 1850. During his travels through the American West and Mexico, he worked as a portraitist before opening a studio in New Orleans. He served briefly with the Confederate Army during the Civil War before moving to Chicago. Antrobus sculpted both Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas and was the first artist to paint a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant (in 1863). Edward Atkinson (1827–1905): American political leader and economist who began his political career as a Republican supporter of the Free Soil movement. Atkinson fought slavery before the Civil War by helping escaped slaves and raising money for John Brown. After the Civil War, in 1886, Atkinson campaigned for future President Grover Cleveland and worked against imperialism (the movement to expand a nation’s territorial rule by annexing territory outside of the main country) after the Spanish-American War. Baker & Co (active, 19th century): Lithography firm associated with Louis Kurz. Thomas Ball (1819–1911): American sculptor who gained recognition for his small busts before creating more monumental sculptures. Notable works include one of the first statues portraying Abraham Lincoln as the Great Emancipator (1876), paid for by donations from freed slaves and African American Union veterans, which stands in Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Park. Ball also created a heroic equestrian statue of George Washington for the Boston Public Garden (1860–1864). He joined an expatriate community in Italy, where he received many commissions for portrait busts, cemetery memorials, and heroic bronze statues.

  • Chapter 3: the Patrician Response
    3 The Patrician Response On the north side of Washington Square, on the square itself and on streets adjacent to lower Fifth Avenue, were the homes of the upper- class Villagers. These patricians were Protestants of Dutch, English, and French stock, some of them heirs to old wealth and to the handsome resi- dences that their parents or grandparents had built before the Civil War. Culturally, religiously, and politically, the north Village gentry had little in common with most of their near neighbors, the working-class and immi- grant Villagers who lived south and west of the square. Italian immigrants and Irish Americans worshipped at Catholic churches, while the gentry at- tended Sunday services at Protestant edifices along lower Fifth Avenue, elite congregations such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Irish, Italian, and African American Villagers gathered to drink and socialize in the numerous working-class saloons of the west and south Village, while the Protestant elite socialized in the ele- gant drawing rooms of their homes. These cultural and class contrasts were reflected in political rivalries, especially between the Irish Villagers loyal to the Democratic machine and the patrician Villagers who deeply distrusted Tammany rule. Again and again the Village gentry, whether they were Re- publicans, Independents, or Democrats, organized to challenge Tammany’s control of the city. By the turn of the twentieth century, the future of this upper-class north 77 78 chapter three Village enclave seemed increasingly uncertain. Tenementhousing and Ital- ian immigrants were invading the Village from the south, and commercial buildings were encroaching on the square from the east.

Residence elsewhere, as I made up my mind in early life, is mere eclipse and obscurity to those whose energy is capable of shining in Rome.” Marcus Tullius Cicero “New York City, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no out-of-bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to the definit ion of a metropolis – it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains.” John Gunther “If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish.” Lenny Bruce “There is no question there is an unseen world; the question is, how far is it from midtown, and how late is it open?” Woody Allen “I am not afraid to admit that New York is the greatest city on the face of God’s earth.

Torrey says, “I like the tactile quality of the art and the energy transmitted from the heart and hand, through gouges and knives to wood, and then with ink to paper.” ’ The Chrysalis Reader is a journal of spiritual discovery published in honor of Emanuel Swedenborg. An eighteenth-century scientist, civil engineer, and mystic, Swedenborg used his scientific orientation to explore the world of spirit.

  • Washington Square Arch
    Washington Square Arch NEW YORK, NY SERVICES PERFORMED The Washington Square Arch was designed by Stanford White and dedicated to New York City in May Design Build Consulting 1895. The grand arch was an expression of the “City Beautiful” movement, which aimed to create a Investigation, Testing & Analysis unied Classical character in civic monuments. The Arch’s Tuckahoe marble exterior began to Quality Control & Consulting deteriorate nearly from the time of its installation. Weathering, pollution, water seepage, roosting birds, Surveys & Condition Assessments vandalism, and inappropriate treatments contributed to the widespread deterioration and erosion of the masonry surface, and in some cases complete loss of sculptural elements. We developed and oversaw treatment implementation that addressed the repair or replacement of missing and damaged elements, conservation of the statuary, cleaning, waterproong and bird- proong, and general masonry repairs. All paint and underlying grati stains were removed from the statuary and reliefs. Open ssures were lled with a lime-rich cementitious mixture to reduce the potential for further damage. Damaged elements stabilized with injections of low viscosity epoxy and the insertion of stainless steel pins. Sculptural elements were gently cleaned and netted with nylon mesh to prevent bird nesting and provide a protective net should any failures of the carvings occur in the future, and the roof membrane and drainage systems were redesigned and replaced. The project received awards from the Greenwich Village Historical Society for contributions to the quality of life in Greenwich Village, and a Lucy Moses Preservation Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

New York Revisited What is a city? Well we might ask, for today the city as we have known it— particularly New York City, which has long reflected the state of the nation at its best and its worst—is a disintegrating entity, a depleted idea, a diminished thing. The decline of the city, as emblem and actuality, is eroding the nation’s stated commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For it is the gritty city, particularly New York City, rather than the fabled New England village that has stood as the last hope for American democracy. the place where “aliens”—the huddled masses from across the Atlantic and the internal emigrés from the heart of the country—have arrived with great expectations, and it is the city that has transformed them into committed members of the body politic.
