  • COVID Chronicle by Karen Wilkin
    Art September 2020 COVID chronicle by Karen Wilkin On artists in lockdown. ’ve been asking many artists—some with significant track records, some aspiring, some I students—about the effect of the changed world we’ve been living in since mid-March. The responses have been both negative and positive, sometimes at the same time. People complain of too much solitude or not enough, of the luxury of more studio time or the stress of distance from the workspace or—worst case—of having lost it. There’s the challenge of not having one’s usual materials and the freedom to improvise out of necessity, the lack of interruption and the frustration of losing direct contact with peers and colleagues, and more. The drastic alterations in our usual habits over the past months have had sometimes dramatic, sometimes subtle repercussions in everyone’s work. Painters in oil are using watercolor, drawing, or experimenting with collage; makers of large-scale paintings are doing small pictures on the kitchen table. Ophir Agassi, an inventive painter of ambiguous narratives, has been incising drawings in mud, outdoors, with his young daughters. People complain of too much solitude or not enough, of the luxury of more studio time or the stress of distance from the workspace or—worst case—of having lost it. Many of the artists I’ve informally polled have had long-anticipated, carefully planned exhibitions postponed or canceled. In partial compensation, a wealth of online exhibitions and special features has appeared since mid-March, despite the obvious shortcomings of seeing paintings and sculptures on screen instead of experiencing their true size, surface, color, and all the rest of it.

Fusscas Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate ABSTRACT This thesis represents a study of the New York World Trade Center. It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

  • A Critical Review of the 9/11 Mysteries Viewer's Guide
    A Critical Review of the “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide” By Adam Taylor Version 1.0 Introduction: The film 9/11 Mysteries Part 1: Demolitions was one of the first professionally made independent films regarding alternative theories surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001.[1] In particular, the film focused on the numerous anomalies concerning the collapse of the WTC. The film was praised by numerous members of the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement: "Excellent. The best of the 9/11 movies." -- David Ray Griffin "WOW! is my reaction to this movie. Great insight into demolitions and what really happened on 9/11/2001." -- Steven E. Jones "An outstanding contribution to understanding 9/11. Simply superb." -- James H. Fetzer Regardless of this praise, many have also criticized the film based on allegations that the film presents false information, illogical fallacies, and cherry-picked sources. The most extensive criticism has been developed by a person named “Shane,” calling himself “The Doc” on the internet.[2] The Doc’s first criticism came in the form of a film called “Screw 9/11 Mysteries,” a version of the original film subtitled with comments by The Doc.[3] Over two and half hours in length, this edited version of 9/11 Mysteries critiqued practically every point of the film. Soon after, The Doc also developed a written essay titled “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide.”[4] This essay expanded on the points made in Screw 9/11 Mysteries, and is over 130 pages in length. The essay was made to refute the entire film, using the film’s online transcript.[5] 1 It should be noted that 9/11 Mysteries has also been criticized by other members of the Truth Movement as well.[6] The most extensive critique of the film by a proponent of the controlled demolition theory was done by software engineer Jim Hoffman.[7] I myself strongly disagree with several points the film makes.

  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

    VOLUME 26 • NUMBER 1 • DECEMBER 2010 News The Mystery of The Trinity Thomas Keating Centering Prayer CoMes out of the life of god moving within us. We may first have experienced this movement as a longing for more, a wordless desire for union with something or someone beyond ourselves. Moments of union may have come to us in a sense of the sacred in nature, hearing music, or seeing the stars on a clear night. This longing may be more defined by our religious practices like the prayerful reading of scripture, receiving the sacraments, or various devotional practices. We have been drawn to Jesus Christ and now we are moving ever more deeply into who he is. Centering Prayer activates an existential relationship with Christ as one way of receiving the fullness of unconditional love pouring out of the depths of the trinity into creation and into us. as we sit in Centering Prayer, we are connecting with that immense flow of the divine life within us. it is as if our spiritual will turned on a switch, and the current (the divine life) that is present in our organism, so to speak, goes on and the divine energy flows.i t is already there waiting to be activated. “on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and exclaimed, ‘Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me as scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within him’. This he said in reference to the spirit that those who came to believe in him were to receive” (John 7: 37-39).

The attacks of 9/11 struck at the notion that density and tall buildings are desirable. In the wake of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, many people claimed that terrorism spelled the end of the sky- scraper. But density is a primary feature of the twenty-first century. The megacities of the global south, from Bombay to São Paulo, are growing ever larger and denser.
