PBS-A WALK AROUND STATEN ISLAND-David Hartman -2007 Part 1
A look at the history of the NY borough of Staten Island, past and present. Part 1 of 2.
Sailor's Snug Harbor
Info provided by Wikipedia.
Sailors' Snug Harbor, also known as Sailors Snug Harbor or Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden or, informally, Snug Harbor, is a collection of architecturally significant 19th-century buildings set in an 83-acre park along the Kill Van Kull on the north shore of Staten Island in New York City, United States.[4] It was once a home for aged sailors. Some of the buildings and the grounds are used by arts organizations under the umbrella of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.
Sailors' Snug Harbor includes 26 Greek Revival, Beaux Arts, Italianate and Victorian style buildings. The site is considered Staten Island's crown jewel[5] and an incomparable remnant of New York's 19th-century seafaring past.[6] It is a National Historic Landmark District.
Snug Harbor was founded through a bequest after the death of Revolutionary War soldier and ship master Captain Robert Richard Randall, namesake of the nearby neighborhood of Randall Manor. Randall left his country estate in Manhattan, bounded by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, 10th Street, and the southern side of 8th Street adjacent to what is now Washington Square, to build an institution to care for aged, decrepit and worn-out seamen. Randall's disappointed heirs contested the will extensively, delaying the opening of the sailors' home for decades. By the time the will challenge was settled, the once-rural land around the Manhattan estate had become well-developed. Snug Harbor's trustees (appointed by Randall's will, they included the mayor of New York City, the president and vice president of the Marine Society, senior ministers of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the chancellor of the State) decided to maximize the profits on the Manhattan property. They changed the proposed site of the institution to another piece of land bequeathed by Randall: a 130-acre plot on Staten Island overlooking the Kill Van Kull.[7][8]
Sailors' Snug Harbor finally opened in 1833, the country's first home for retired merchant seamen. It began with a single building, now the centerpiece in the row of five Greek Revival temple-like buildings on the New Brighton waterfront.[9] From 1867 to 1884, Captain Thomas Melville, a retired sea captain and brother of Moby-Dick author Herman Melville, was governor of Snug Harbor.[10] In 1890, Captain Gustavus Trask, the governor of Snug Harbor, built a Renaissance Revival church, the Randall Memorial Chapel and, next to it, a music hall, both designed by Robert W. Gibson.[9] At its peak in the late 19th century, about 1,000 retired sailors lived at Snug Harbor, then one of the wealthiest charities in New York. Its Washington Square area properties yielded a surplus exceeding the retirement home's costs by $100,000 a year.[9]
By the mid-20th century, however, Snug Harbor was in financial difficulty. Once-grand structures fell into disrepair, and some were demolished; the ornate white-marble Randall Memorial Church was torn down in 1952. With the arrival of the Social Security system in the 1930s, demand for accommodation for old sailors declined; by the mid-1950s, fewer than 200 residents remained.
In the 1960s, the institution's trustees proposed to redevelop the site with high-rise buildings; the new New York City Landmarks Commission stepped forward to save the remaining buildings, designating them landmark structures, and listing them on the National Register of Historic Places. A series of legal battles ensued, but the validity of landmark designation was ultimately upheld and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.[3][11] In the 1970s, the trustees moved the institution to Sea Level, North Carolina and sold the Staten Island site to the City of New York.[9] Today, Randall's Trust no longer operates a retirement home, but the Trustees of the Sailors' Snug Harbor in the City of New York continues its work, using funds from the endowment to help mariners all over the country. Its office is at 40 Exchange Place, Suite 1701 NY, NY 10005.
On September 12, 1976, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center was opened to the public. In 2008, the Cultural Center and the Staten Island Botanical Garden merged to become the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.[12]
The Sailors' Snug Harbor Archives are preserved at the Stephen B. Luce Library at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx.
A station on the now-defunct North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway bore the name Sailors Snug Harbor; a retaining wall and stairways from the station still exist. Now, the S40 travels from and to the St. George Terminal, stopping at Snug Harbor's front gate.
2015 Memorial Day Flag Dedication
On Sunday, May 24, 2015 more than 200 residents and friends of Noble’s Pond gathered to pay tribute to loved ones for their valiant service to our Country. Clearly, the residents of Noble’s Pond have not forgotten the price paid for the freedoms we all enjoy living in the United State of America. A Flag Dedication and Raising ceremony took place at 11:00am on Sunday, May 24th.
Organized by Noble’s Pond veterans, the day’s events began in front of The Point, the community’s Clubhouse. Ceremonies opened with an invocation, followed by the Presentation of Colors by the Marine Corps Color Guard Detachment 1775 of Oaklyn, New Jersey. The Raising of the Colors was performed by Noble’s Pond veterans, followed by the traditional playing of Taps by the Marine Corp League bugler.
Continuing the day’s ceremonies, a Parade of Flags, featuring representatives from each of the six armed services, as well as the POW flag, was led by community veteran residents. Following a moving rendition of our National Anthem, the names of over 170 deceased veterans were read aloud and honored for their service in the armed forces as symbolic carnations were placed in a memorial basket. Mike O’Connor, bagpiper for the Dover Fire Department played Amazing Grace at the conclusion of the names and presentation of carnations. Senator Dave Lawson attended the ceremony and presented the Veterans with an American Flag that flew over the Delaware State Capital building. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, a hearty lunch was prepared and served by a committee of Noble’s Pond volunteers
SCAMS - Don't get ripped off in the wake of Hurricane Sandy
SCAMS - Don't get ripped off in the wake of Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy was a tropical cyclone of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season that severely affected portions of the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States in late October, with lesser impacts in the Southeastern and Midwestern states and eastern Canada. In diameter, it was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km).[3][4] The eighteenth tropical cyclone and named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Sandy is estimated in early calculations to have caused damage of at least $20 billion (2012 USD).[5] Preliminary estimates of losses that include business interruption surpass $50 billion (2012 USD), which, if confirmed, would make it the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane in history,[6] behind only Hurricane Katrina.
Sandy developed from a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea on October 22. It became a tropical depression, quickly strengthened, and was upgraded to a tropical storm six hours later. Sandy moved slowly northward toward the Greater Antilles and gradually intensified. On October 24, Sandy was upgraded to a hurricane, shortly before making landfall in Jamaica. Upon moving farther north, Sandy re-entered water and made its second landfall in Cuba during the early morning of October 25 as a Category 2 hurricane. During the late evening of October 25, Sandy weakened to Category 1 strength; in the early hours of October 26, it headed north through the Bahamas.[7] Sandy began to show some characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones on October 26.[8] Sandy briefly weakened to a tropical storm in the early morning hours of October 27, then restrengthened to a Category 1 hurricane later that morning. Just before 8 a.m. EDT on October 29, Sandy turned to the north-northwest and started to make its expected approach towards the U.S. coast. At 7 p.m. EDT that evening, Sandy was declared a post-tropical cyclone, while still maintaining Category 1 strength.[9] Sandy made its final landfall 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Atlantic City, New Jersey at about 8 p.m. EDT on October 29.[10]
In the United States, Hurricane Sandy affected at least 24 states, from Florida to New England, with tropical storm force winds stretching far inland and mountain snows in West Virginia. The cyclone brought a destructive storm surge to New York City on the evening of October 29, flooding numerous streets, tunnels and subway lines in Lower Manhattan, Staten Island, Coney Island, the Rockaways and other areas of the city and cutting off electricity to parts of the city and its suburbs, especially Zone A areas near waterways which were issued evacuation orders.[11] Severe damage occurred in New Jersey, especially in the communities along the Jersey Shore
A thousand mile stretch of the United States is facing the misery of superstorm Sandy's devastation Tuesday as millions along the U.S. East Coast faced life without power or mass transit for days, as the U.S. death toll climbed to at least 39.
Many of the victims were killed by falling trees, and rescue work continued a day after the storm made landfall in New Jersey on Monday evening.
Sandy hit with hurricane force and cut power to more than 8.2 million across the East and put the presidential campaign on hold just one week before Election Day. The cost of the damage caused by the storm is estimated to be around $20 billion.
The level of devastation at the Jersey Shore is unthinkable. Houses are moved off their foundations, there are houses in the middle of route 35.
New York was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart closed for a second day. The storm caused the worst damage in the 108-year history of the city's subway system, and there was no indication of when the largest U.S. transit system would be rolling again.
This was a devastating storm, maybe the worst that we have ever experienced, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
But the full extent of the damage in New Jersey was being revealed as morning arrived. Emergency crews fanned out to rescue hundreds.
A hoarse-voiced New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave bleak news at a morning news conference: Seaside rail lines washed away. No safe place on the state's barrier islands for him to land. Parts of the coast still under water.

How Big Oil Conquered the World
TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES:
From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the oil industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world. And this is the story of those who helped shape that world, and how the oil-igarchy they created is on the verge of monopolizing life itself.

These are ways that we were scammed in these cities in Mexico, despite speaking Spanish and currently living in the country.
We think some of the behavior in Playa del Carmen and these other locations is unethical, wrong, and dishonest. We don't want other people to fall into tourist traps (ike we did) because they didn't know what to look for or how to stick up for themselves. Most of these scams happened on 5th Avenue (Quinta Avenida in Playa del Carmen) and also in Cozumel.
Scams and Tourist Traps We Discuss:
- Taxi scams in Cancun, Mexico
- Tipping cab drivers in Mexico
- Extra charges on the bill for substitutions
- Two for one drinks in Playa del Carmen
- Adding random things to the bill
- Charging different prices than the menu says
- Ordering water at a restaurant in Mexico
- Forced gratuity added to the bill in Playa del Carmen and Cozumel
- What to tip in Mexico
- How to avoid getting scammed in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel
- What to do when you're getting scammed
HONEST RESTAURANTS WE RECOMMEND:
1. Lido Beach Club in Playa del Carmen
2. Carboncitos in Playa del Carmen
3. Tequila Beach Club in Cozumel
4. Madrez Cafe in Playa del Carmen
5. Tequila Barrel in Playa del Carmen
Do you have any questions about scams in Cancun / Playa del Carmen / Cozumel? Ask in the comments! We don't want anyone to be taken advantage of while they're in Mexico (or anywhere else for that matter).

Biblical Series I: Introduction to the Idea of God
Lecture I in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.
Q & A Starts: 1:57:25

The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy
The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.
A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.
