Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts. -

4.4 Cultural Resources
MILLBRAE STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE AND TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT #1 AND #2 DRAFT EIR CITY OF MILLBRAE CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter describes existing cultural resources in the Specific Plan Area and evaluates the potential cultural resource impacts associated with future development that could occur by adopting and implementing the proposed Specific Plan Update, and approval and development of the proposed Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) #1 and #2 (together referred to as the “proposed Project”). Cultural resources include historically and architecturally significant resources, as well as archaeological and paleontological resources. The analysis in this chapter is based on a cultural resources report prepared by Tom Origer & Associates (TOA) on September 22, 2014. The cultural resources report is included in this Draft EIR as Appendix C, Cultural Resources Data. 4.4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 4.4.1.1 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK This section describes the policies and regulations that apply to cultural resources in the Specific Plan Area, and specifically on the TOD #1 and TOD #2 project sites. Federal Regulations National Historic Preservation Act The National Register of Historic Places (National Register) established by the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, recognizes properties that are significant at local, State, and national levels. Officially designated historical resources include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects. Properties that are eligible for listing in the National Register are afforded the same protection given to properties that are listed in the National Register. For a property to be eligible for listing in the National Register, it must be significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture, and must retain integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. -

Library of Congress Diary of William Owen from November 10, 1824 to April 20, 1825 ed. by Joel W. Hiatt. INDIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS. VOLUME IV. NUMBER 1. DIARY OF WILLIAM OWEN From November 10, 1824, to April 20, 1825 EDITED BY JOEL W. HIATT LC INDIANAPOLIS: THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY. 1906. 601 25 Pat 14 F521 .I41 114026 08 iii PREFACE. 3 456 Part 2 8 The manuscript of this diary of William Owen has remained in the hands of his only daughter—formerly Mary Francis Owen, now Mrs. Joel W. Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition. Diary of William Owen from November 10, 1824 to April 20, 1825 ed. by Joel W. Hiatt. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.14024 Library of Congress William Owen was the second of four sons born to Robert and Ann Caroline Owen, of Scotland. Their names were Robert Dale, William, David Dale, and Richard. Three of them, Robert Dale, David Dale and Richard are known where ever the sun shines on the world of literature or science. William, who, because of habit or for his own amusement, wrote this diary is not known to fame. -

The Struggles of a Mathematician and His University to Enter the Ranks of Research Mathematics, 1870–1950
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Historia Mathematica 34 (2007) 271–288 www.elsevier.com/locate/yhmat Straddling centuries: The struggles of a mathematician and his university to enter the ranks of research mathematics, 1870–1950 David E. Zitarelli ∗ Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA Abstract This paper weaves two interlocking histories together. One strand of the fabric traces the development of the American mathe- matician Joseph B. Reynolds from a peripheral player to an active contributor to mathematics, astronomy, and engineering and to the founding of a sectional association of mathematicians. The other piece describes the evolution of his institution, Lehigh Uni- versity, from its founding in 1865 to a full-fledged research department that began producing doctorates in 1939. Both Reynolds and Lehigh straddled the line between the pre- and post-Chicago eras in American mathematics. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden zwei ineinander greifend Geschichten dargestellt. Einen Teil der verflochtenen Geschichte bildet die Entwicklung des amerikanischen Mathematikers Joseph B. Reynolds von einer Randerscheinung sowohl zu einem aktiven Autor mathematischer und astronomischer Arbeiten sowie solcher aus den Ingenieurswissenschaften als auch zu einem Begründer einer sektionalen mathematischen Gesellschaft. Der andere Teil der Geschichte betrifft die Gründung seiner akademischen Einrichtung, der Lehigh University, von ihrer Gründung 1865 bis zu einer reifen Forschungsabteilung in den 1939 Jahre Promotionen aufweisen konnte. Sowohl Reynolds als auch die Lehigh University können als Scharnier zwischen der Vor- und Nach-Chicagoer Ära in der amerikanischen Mathematik betrachtet werden. -
