EDWARD H. TAYLOR, JOHN T. EAGAN, FREDERICK TRAU, C. AUGUSTUS POST, ROBERT L. MORAN, Special Committee. ^ 43 "I li^ ^ ^ PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR To the Citizens of The City of New Yorl(: An Ordinance having recently been enacted adopting for the first time an official City Flag, recalling in its colors and design the history of the City, it seems eminently fitting that due recognition should be given to this event. The flag will be raised with proper ceremonies on the City Hall and other municipal buildings at noon on the 24th day of June, that date having been selected as being the 250th anniversary of the installation of the present form of city government. It is strongly urged that owners of buildings throughout the City and masters of vessels in the harbor make arrangements to display the flag on the same day and at the same hour. As a symbol of our City, the flag represents New York in the past, in the present, and as we hope it will be in the future, a great cosmopol- itan city, the home of all nations, founded on hberty and law; beloved, guarded and honored by her people.

Russell Sage College: The Journey Toward Thriving Abstract In partnership with Russell Sage College (RSC), the following service-learning project outlines our situation analysis, literature review and application plan to implement strategies and resources to enable RSC’s strategic initiative toward becoming a college known for well-being through an initiative called Thrive@Russell Sage. Leveraging research in Positive Psychology, and best practices from other colleges and universities, our team developed a Thrive “playbook” designed to support RSC’s ability to 1) communicate and engage the RSC community 2) expand Thrive through the curriculum beginning with RSC 101, an introductory freshmen course and 3) enhance and expand Thrive through appreciative inquiry. We suggest measuring Thrive@Russell Sage impact through an annual well-being survey of students and faculty and use survey data as input to evolve their strategic plan.

  • Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack
    74th EASTERN SNOW CONFERENCE Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA 2017 Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack DOROTHY K. HALL,1,2 NICOLO E. DIGIROLAMO,3 ALLAN FREI4 ABSTRACT Meltwater from snow that falls in the Catskill Mountains in southern New York contributes to reservoirs that supply drinking water to approximately nine million people in New York City. Using the NOAA National Ice Center’s Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS) 4km snow maps, we have identified at least 32 lake-effect (LE) storms emanating from Lake Erie and/or Lake Ontario that deposited snow in the Catskill/Delaware Watershed in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State between 2004 and 2017. This represents a large underestimate of the contribution of LE snow to the Catskills snowpack because many of the LE snowstorms are not visible in the IMS snow maps when they travel over snow-covered terrain. Most of the LE snowstorms that we identified originate from Lake Ontario but quite a few originate from both Erie and Ontario, and a few from Lake Erie alone. Using satellite, meteorological and reanalysis data we identify conditions that contributed to LE snowfall in the Catskills. Clear skies following some of the storms permitted measurement of the extent of snow cover in the watershed using multiple satellite sensors. IMS maps tend to overestimate the extent of snow compared to MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Landsat- derived snow-cover extent maps. Using this combination of satellite and meteorological data, we can begin to quantify the important contribution of LE snow to the Catskills Mountain snowpack.
