In March 1790, the first permanent settlers traveled through the
wilderness to their new home in Farmington. Two centuries later,
the site would become the fastest-growing township in New York
State. Farmington developed into a unique transportation and
manufacturing community where sawmills, grain mills, asheries, and
foundries thrived. The town was serviced by the New York Central
and Lehigh Valley Railroads and the Rochester and Eastern Rapid
Railway, which had stops in the vanished hamlets of Mertensia and
Hathaway's Corners. Today these railroad tracks have been reclaimed
as recreational trails. The collection of photographs in Farmington
weaves together the history of the mills, stores, churches, and
families that make the township what it is today. Many of the
images were captured by early Farmington photographer E. J.
Gardner, whose practiced eye and personal connection to his
neighborhood resulted in a priceless record of the people of
Farmington.
Too little water or too much In either case streamflow
measurement is crucial. Climate change could significant affect
water resources and flood management. Streamflow measurement is
necessary for efficient water management.
This third edition deals with all the main current methods for
measuring the flow in rivers and open channels, in accordance with
ISO and CEN standards and to satisfy the current requirements of
the International Organization for Standardization and the European
Union 's Water Directive. A new chapter on the Acoustic Doppler
Current Profiler (ADCP) is included; the chapter on uncertainties
has been redrafted in accordance with the recent International
Standard on uncertainties in measurement (GUM); the chapters on the
Stage-Fall-Discharge method and Hydrometric Data Processing have
also been updated; and a new section on flood flows has been
added.

This edited collection brings together scholars from across the
world, including France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Japan, the USA
and India, to offer a truly international perspective on the global
reception of Shakespeare's Sonnets from the 18th century to the
present. Global Shakespeare has never been so local and familiar as
it is today. The translation, appropriation and teaching of
Shakespeare's plays across the world have been the subject of much
important recent work in Shakespeare studies, as have the ethics of
Shakespeare's globalization. Within this discussion, however, the
Sonnets are often overlooked. This book offers a new global history
of the Sonnets, including the first substantial study of their
translation and of their performance in theatre, music and film. It
will appeal to anyone interested in the reception of the Sonnets,
and of Shakespeare across the world.
A first comprehensive synopsis of all aleocharine rove beetle
species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) recorded from eastern Canada,
from Ontario to the Maritime Provinces inclusively, is presented.
Four hundred and seven species in 96 genera, and 16 tribes are
presented and discussed.Tribes and subtribes are arranged in
presumably phylogenetic order as it is currently recognized. Genera
and subgenera are listed alphabetically. Species are listed
alphabetically or in species groups to better reflect their
relationships. Species distribution is listed by abbreviated
provinces and territories in Canada and abbreviated states in the
United States. Geographic status is given to every species as
Native, Holarctic or adventive with some species listed with
undetermined status - adventive or Holarctic. Every treated species
is presented with a diagnosis, including short description of body
and description of the median lobe of aedeagus, spermatheca, and
tergite and sternite VIII of both sexes. For each species a plate
with colour habitus image and black and white images of genital
structures is provided to aid with positive identification.
Collection and habitat data (often new) are presented for each
species, including data on macrohabitat, microhabitat, collecting
period, and collecting methods.
Despite several decades of research on Supreme Court
decision-making by specialists in judicial politics, there is no
good answer to a key question: if each justice's behavior on the
Court were motivated solely by some kind of "liberal" or
"conservative" ideology, what patterns should be expected in the
Court's decision-making practices and in the Court's final
decisions? It is only when these patterns are identified in advance
that political scientists will be able to empirically evaluate
theories which assert that the justices' behavior is motivated by
the pursuit of their personal policy preferences. This book
provides the first comprehensive and integrated model of how
strategically rational Supreme Court justices should be expected to
behave in all five stages of the Court's decision-making process.
The authors' primary focus is on how each justice's wish to gain as
desirable a final opinion as possible will affect his or her
behavior at each stage of the decision-making process.

This book examines the important themes of sexuality, gender, love,
and marriage in stage, literary, and film treatments of
Shakespeare's plays. The theme of sexuality is often integral to
Shakespeare's works and therefore merits a thorough exploration.
Sexuality in the Age of Shakespeare begins with descriptions of
sexuality in ancient Greece and Rome, medieval England, and
early-modern Europe and England, then segues into examinations of
the role of sexuality in Shakespeare's plays and poetry, and also
in film and stage productions of his plays. The author employs
various theoretical approaches to establish detailed
interpretations of Shakespeare's plays and provides excerpts from
several early-modern marriage manuals to illustrate the typical
gender roles of the time. The book concludes with bibliographies
that students of Shakespeare will find invaluable for further
study. Includes excerpts of four English early-modern marriage
manuals A bibliography contains sources regarding Greek, Roman,
medieval, and early-modern European sexuality as well as
Shakespearean criticism A glossary clarifies unfamiliar terms
The act of sharing knowledge and skills is a valuable resource.
It serves as a tool for growth and learning, and it indicates the
potential of a person to become a powerful asset that adds value to
the individual and the organization. In "Teachable Points," author
Reginald W. Sykes Sr. offers operational lessons for frontline
supervisors based on the principles of learning and teaching. He
provides real-world solutions to everyday issues in the
workplace.
Intended for both new and seasoned managers, "Teachable Points"
presents lessons grounded in basic management principles and based
on action learning-that is, learning from your day-to-day,
on-the-job work experience. It discusses the role and purpose of a
frontline supervisor, effective management practices, the purpose
of business, the importance of getting and keeping customers, ways
to provide service, and the fundamentals of managing personnel.
Grounded in the theory of teaching what you learn, "Teachable
Points" communicates the importance of frontline supervisors
sharing their valuable knowledge with others to add incredible
value to an organization.
