Syracuse, New York The city of Syracuse has many opportunities to offer its citizens. It is imperative to know what opportunities are available in order to get the most out of life in Central New York. As the heart of central New York, Syracuse is full of history, tradition, and community. Established in 1848, the city of Syracuse was originally centered on the Eire Canal, which made it a central communication point and an appropriate place to build new community. The city was originally
did the money go for something necessary, like accommodation or food, but usually was spent on a multitude of gadgets, toys, and other assorted ‘guy-stuff.’ CDs, a subwoofer, X-boxes and PlayStations, new rims and tires…he even whipped out the plastic to cover the $5,000 for his girlfriend’s new boobs! In my humble opinion, this was probably one of his wiser purchases, but still highlights the fact that my friend has a serious problem managing his finances. Unfortunately, my friend is not alone
with the purpose of eliciting a certain kind of behavior from people. By looking at the build environment as well as the everyday practices of spaces, we can interpret them. This paper will document a “mini-ethnography” of Marshall street in Syracuse, New York (Winders, 2011). It will look at how the built environment of Marshall Street, as well as people’s daily practices at this site, produce a consumer space, exploring the relationship between the built environment and the utilization of the
Auroville The question often comes up, what environment would allow us to easily embody our beliefs and lead a life free of hypocrisy. Communities are an excellent, even if not the only solution. The gathering of diverse people based on a similarity in their aspirations and interests forms a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. One of the most successful attempts at forming such a community is Auroville, located in southern India. Auroville came into existence in 1968 and, at that
with their children (AGO 2001). “The avarice of mankind is insatiable,” claimed Aristotle when describing how the appetite of mankind is never satisfied (Durning). As every desire is satisfied a new one rises up to take its place (Durning). This is true for all people; we want more money, a better job, a new car, better benefits, on and on until suddenly it is clear that we have wasted our lives in search of something that actually never made us happy. A wise woman always told me “never have any expectations

As American history students look back at the Erie Canal today, they generally only imagine how the canal was extraordinary for the residents of New York, but not all the issues and problems it also produced. People in the northern United States during the early nineteenth century wanted to rapidly industrialize and increase the amount of money they were making. The Erie Canal they believed was a
Study I chose to write this paper on the organization that I am employed with, the Service Employees Pension Fund of Upstate New York (SEPF/fund). I focused my paper on the main office which is located in Syracuse, NY. I am employed at the Albany location. This gave me the opportunity to look at the office as an outsider seeing as I only make a trip to Syracuse a couple times a year. Interviewing with the fund manager also helped me to get an idea of how she feels about the fund and how she

let people take more at a time. This canal also changed the trading method used by the new settlers moving west. They no longer had to use mules and wagons , a more expensive and time consuming method, instead they used a barge and two mules and got to where they wanted to go in way less time. This method was also much safer than a wagon and horses. Chart four shows an increase in wheat
trade of almost all the lakes in North America, the most of which flowing through the canal, would center at New York for their common mart. This port, already of the first commercial consequence in the United States, would shortly after, be left without a competition in trade, except that of New Orleans." This means that the lakes of North America all flow to the Erie Canal, and center at New York, making it the main spot for trade, along with the canal itself. Another reason trade is a big impact on
costs of the shipment of goodsfrom Additionally, the Erie Canal provided a trade route extending to the Atlantic ocean, which allowed the and thus making New York the “Atlantic port of choice” for many merchants. Had the Erie Canal not been constructed, trade today would solely go south down the Mississippi River, through the ports of New Through the heavy reliance on the delicate commercial system of the transportation of goods and resources eastward, the West and the East inevitably developed
economics and business, may have never been a possibility without decisions such as this. Monopolies did not allow for equal division of business and therefore was unjust. If all men are created equal they should be given equal opportunities. The New York Livingston-Fulton monopoly clearly subjected any potential competition to harsh conditions that would make it impossible for them to keep up in their business. Travel by steamboat was much faster than any other means in the time of this case
Jenks, “Publishing more Hemingway seemed less interesting than publishing new writers, which is what I came to Scribner's to do” (http://narrativemagazine.org/html/eden.htm). Ultimately Jenks did take on the impossible task of editing Hemingway. One would expect a Hemingway expert to do the editing of The Garden of Eden, however for Jenks, editing Hemingway was an entirely new experience. Eric Pooley, a writer for New York Magazine, states, “[Jenks] hadn't read a Hemingway novel in years. He didn't

That I, whose experience of teaching is extremely limited, should presume to discuss education is a matter, surely, that calls for no apology.

David Clay Large, Between Two Fires: Europe's Path in the 1930s (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1990). David Clay Large wrote an interesting account of the situation in Europe during the 1930s.
