Urban Naturalist Leads Education Efforts in New York City Parks
The love of wildlife takes many people to western U.S. states like Wyoming, California and Colorado, where they can work or play in a one of America's vast national parks. But Sarah Aucoin has chosen to protect wildlife in a place where you find much less of it -- New York City. As Paige Kollock reports, Aucoin is making a difference as an Urban Park Ranger, raising awareness about Manhattan's green spaces and restoring the city's natural heritage.

Old Seaview Hospital & Farm Colony
Seaview Hospital was a historic tuberculosis sanatorium, now a national historic district located at Willowbrook on Staten Island, New York. The complex was planned and built between 1905 and 1938 and was the largest and most costly municipal facility for the treatment of tuberculosis of its date in the United States.
The New York City Farm Colony was a poorhouse on the New York City borough of Staten Island, one of the city's five boroughs. It was located across Brielle Avenue from Sea View Hospital, on the edge of the Staten Island Greenbelt.

Part of the town of Castleton from the 1680s onward, the land was taken over by the government of Richmond County in 1829 and the Richmond County Poor Farm was established thereon. When Staten Island became a borough of New York City in 1898, the city assumed responsibility for the property and redesignated it the New York City Farm Colony, although it was sometimes also referred to as the Staten Island Farm Colony. In 1915, its administration was merged with that of Seaview Hospital, which had been set up with the expressed purpose of treating tuberculosis (it is now a city-run nursing home), under the new name of Sea View Farms.[1]
Jurisdiction over the site was transferred in 1924 to the city's Homes for Dependents agency, which lifted the requirement that all residents of the colony had to work — with most of the work involving the cultivation of many varieties of fruits and vegetables, and at various times even grains such as wheat and corn; these crops fed not only the colony's residents but met the needs of other city institutions as well.[1]
Until the 1930s, many if not most of the farm colony's residents were elderly, and at times numbered as many as 2,000; this number steadily declined after the Social Security system was adopted on the federal level in the United States (although noted photographer Alice Austen lived there for a brief period in the early 1950s[2]), and the programs of the Great Society implemented in the 1960s further depleted its ranks, leading to the facility being closed in 1975.
Since its closure, the Farm Colony site has been the focus of debate over land use. In 1980 the city attempted to sell the property to developers, but environmentalists and many Staten Islanders resisted the sale. As a result, in 1982, the city's Department of General Services was given authority over the land; this agency in turn transferred 25 acres (101,000 m²) to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, which annexed the section to the Greenbelt. The remaining 70 acres (283,000 m²) at the site were officially designated a city landmark in 1985; many buildings remain standing at the colony, but have fallen into disrepair and have also been subjected to vandalism.[1]
In 1983, a Babe Ruth League baseball diamond was built on Farm Colony land; a second field was added in 2001.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
This is a list of science-fiction novels, novel series, and collections of linked short stories. It includes modern novels, as well as novels written before the term science fiction was in common use. This list includes novels not marketed as SF but still considered to be substantially science fiction in content by some critics, such as Nineteen Eighty Four. As such, it is an inclusive list, not an exclusive list based on other factors such as level of notability or literary quality. Books are listed in alphabetical order by title, ignoring the leading articles A, An, and The. Novel series are alphabetical by author-designated name or, if there is none, the title of the first novel in the series or some other reasonable designation.
Why it’s (mostly) illegal to drone in NYC
I'm an FAA-certified drone pilot, but there are four reasons I can't fly drones in New York City:
1) FAA Part 107 says you can't fly over people.
2) NYC Parks prohibit drones.
3) Most of NYC is Class B airspace.
4) City administrative code: Drones are illegal
But there are 5 New York City Parks where you CAN fly:

MARGARET DAVIDSON
Acting Director, NOAA Office of Coastal Resource Management
PRESENTATION TITLE: How Big Should My Village Be? Strategic Partnerships for Increased Climate Adaptation and Mitigation
ABSTRACT: There is a growing momentum across sectors in the coastal zone (e.g., transportation planners, natural resource managers, port developers) to incorporate climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into planning and management to protect our Nation's coastlines. In this talk, Ms. Davidson will address the perception and management of risk by examining relevant factors ranging from the geophysical to the political. How we approach risk now will shape our future exposure, and the costs associated with major environmental events.
