    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • REPOWERING AMERICA: Transmission Investment for Economic Stimulus and Climate Change
    REPOWERING AMERICA: Transmission investment for economic stimulus and climate change May 2021 Prepared for: London Economics International LLC 717 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 1A Boston, MA 02111 www.londoneconomics.com Disclaimer The analysis London Economics International LLC (“LEI”) provides in this study is intended to illustrate the potential economic benefit of transmission investment in terms of GDP and employment for the American economy (to support economic recovery), and as a potential public policy tool (to support longer term environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions, which will itself create positive economic benefits). While LEI has taken all reasonable care to ensure that its analysis is complete, the interplay of electric infrastructure investment and dynamics of local economies are highly complex, and thus this illustrative analysis does not quantify all tradeoffs and substitution effects, nor attempt to quantify various positive effects from reduced carbon emissions and containment of damages from Climate Change. Furthermore, certain recent developments in the US economy and transmission investment plans of various regions of the US may or may not be included in LEI’s illustrative analysis. This report is not intended to be an evaluation of any specific transmission investment or a definitive assessment of future economic conditions in the US.

  • Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model
    DIMONT (MEDRANO_10) (DO NOT DELETE) 2/10/2018 10:11 AM Royalty Inequity: Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model JOSEPH DIMONT* Digital music streaming services, like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, currently distribute royalties based on a per-stream model, known as service-centric licensing, while at the same time receive income through subscription fees and advertising revenue. This results in a cross-subsidization between low streaming users and high streaming users, streaming fraud, and a fundamental inequity between the number of subscribers an artist may attract to a service compared to how much they are compensated. Instead, streaming services should distribute royalties by taking each user’s subscription fee and dividing it pro rata based on what the specific user is listening toknown as a subscriber-share modelor user-centric licensing. Many scholars have focused on creating a minimum royalty rate; however, this does little to solve the inherent inequity. Either the music industry should self-regulate by switching to a subscriber-centric model, or the Copyright Royalty Board should make the switch for them. Under a subscriber-centric model, royalty distribution would more accurately reward artists for generating fans, not streams. Each month, the streaming service should take each subscription fee and apportion it out based on the percentages of artists that unique listeners choose to listen to during the subscription period. This change could come through the industry itself, litigation, or regulation, but will likely face resistance from the major record labels and the services themselves. * J.D. Candidate 2018, University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

  • Musician's Rescue
    MUSICIAN’S RESCUE KIT - Earning Online Income As A Musician In Times Of COVID-19 and Beyond By Scott Bradlee www.patreon.com/tourbusuniversity FOREWORD I wanted to write this guide for all my fellow musicians out there during this crazy, gig- less time. My own act, Postmodern Jukebox, was one of the first acts to pull a national tour off the road when the Coronavirus began circulating in the United States, and since then, the threat that it has posed to the concert industry has become quite apparent. In reality, the music industry is likely to be one of the last industries to return to normalcy; after all, we’re an industry that is primarily built on getting groups of people together in a room. This is really bad news for all of us that make the majority of our income from performing live — whether it’s as a drummer in a jazz trio, an actor in a Broadway show, a DJ playing nightclubs, a headliner on a concert tour, and everything in between. The good news is that it’s entirely possible to make a great living from music online. In this guide, I’m going to share the system that I use, with a few updates for 2020. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO EARN MONEY ONLINE AS A MUSICIAN For the sake of this guide, I’m going to assume some minimum requirements on your part: 1) You’ve already put in the work as a musician, and already have at least a couple fans. Having more fans just means you’re that much closer to your goal of making a living from music.

  • Bohemian Rhapsody (Película)
    Bohemian Rhapsody (película) Bohemian Rhapsody es una película biográfica británica- estadounidense de 2018 sobre el cantante británico Freddie Mercury y el grupo de rock Queen.2 Fue dirigida por Bryan Singer, aunque Dexter Fletcher asumió el cargo de director las últimas semanas de rodaje tras el despido de Singer.34 El guion fue escrito por Anthony McCarten y fue producida por Graham King y Jim Beach, antiguo mánager de Queen. Está protagonizada por Rami Malek, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy y Joseph Mazzello. El film se estrenó el 24 de octubre de 2018 en Reino Unido.5 Fue galardonada con numerosos premios: cuatro Óscars, dos Globos de Oro y dos BAFTA.6 El nombre de la película procede del título de la canción más exitosa de la banda, el tema homónimo «Bohemian Rhapsody». Argumento En 1970, Farrokh Bulsara, un estudiante británico de origen parsi que trabaja transportando equipajes en el aeropuerto de Heathrow, se dirige a un club nocturno para ver a una banda local llamada Smile. Después de la presentación, Farrokh conoce al guitarrista Brian May y al baterista Roger Taylor, y se ofrece a sí mismo para ser el nuevo vocalista de la banda después de la partida de su cantante y bajista Tim Staffell. Con la llegada del bajista John Deacon, la banda —ahora conocida como Queen— toca en lugares pequeños alrededor de Inglaterra hasta que deciden vender su camioneta para producir su álbum debut. Su estilo musical les permite un contrato con EMI Records. Al mismo tiempo, Farrokh cambia su nombre a Freddie Mercury y comienza una relación con Mary Austin.
