Poland

Poland: "The coastal plain
   The Baltic Coastal Plain stretches across northern Poland from Germany to Russia, forming a low-lying region built of various sediments. It is largely occupied by the ancient province of Pomerania, the name of which means "Along the Sea." The scarcely indented Baltic coastline was formed by wave action after the retreat of the ice sheet and the raising of sea levels. "

History of Empire State Development

History of Empire State Development: "The Corporation can also exercise powers of condemnation, act as an agent in obtaining federal subsidies and grants for projects and invest in real estate at below-market interest rates in a manner similar to that of an individual development agency.

The Corporation’s ability to execute complex financial transactions, coordinate public and private resources and serve as a one-stop development authority thus offers a combination of services that no other private or public service entity in New York State can provide.

 In 1975, the Corporation was reorganized and its mission expanded from developing housing to economic development. 

The Corporation still maintains a housing portfolio that currently includes mortgages valued at $650 million covering 20,200 housing units."

History of Empire State Development

History of Empire State Development: "Eleven years later, on August 31, 1987, the Omnibus Economic Development Act was signed into law, creating the new Department of Economic Development (DED) and giving its commissioner explicit authority to create State economic development-related policy and to coordinate State activities.

The law stressed the delivery of services at the regional level and the integration of services among the State’s economic development-related agencies. The Act created nine new programs designed to address specific problems and opportunities within the State’s economy.
 



The New York State Urban Development Corporation was created with a mandate to generate industrial, commercial and civic development in distressed urban areas and to create jobs through the construction of low- and moderate-income housing and the renovation or expansion of industrial and commercial facilities.



UDC was given a broad range of statutory powers to attain those goals, including the authority to issue tax-exempt and non-tax exempt bonds, to provide flexibility in the application of local codes and to arrange full or partial exemption from real estate taxes."

History of Empire State Development

History of Empire State Development: "
Empire State Development’s roots trace to the Division of Commerce, created by the State Legislature in 1941, and the Urban Development Corporation, which the Legislature created in 1968.
 



The Division of Commerce assumed the functions and duties of several State bureaus and created an additional Bureau of Industry. It was replaced in 1944 by the Department of Commerce.  A 1960 revision to the state Commerce Law established three divisions in the department -- the Division of Economic Development, the Division of Economic Research and the Division of Public Information.



The Division of International Commerce was established in 1962. In September 1976, the Department was reorganized along functional lines, giving increased emphasis to retaining and expanding New York businesses. A 1976 amendment to the State Commerce Law also created the Division of Small Business."

On June 28, 2011, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation that established the use of State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funds for three economic development programs.

Are You a Mindful Maverick? | Ora Nadrich

Are You a Mindful Maverick? | Ora Nadrich: ""Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." -- Albert Einstein

Do you consider yourself a free thinker? Do you like to speak the truth? Are you a leader and not a follower? Would you call yourself original?

If you answered yes to those questions, you're a maverick -- someone who is their own person, and doesn't play by anyone else's rules."

Hamlets Tragic Flaw - Essays - Studymode

Hamlets Tragic Flaw - Essays - Studymode: "The fact that his own uncle could kill his father leaves Hamlet enraged and confused. Although Hamlet knows something is wrong in Denmark, he begins to question everything that the ghost has told him. In this scenario that calls for quick decisive behavior, Hamlet is too busy thinking. An example of this is seen in Act III, when Hamlet has his knife over the head of Claudius, prepared to murder him, and talks himself out of it."

It is better not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Many consequences can arise when one procrastinates. An example of this is found in Shakespeare’s Hamlet through the depiction of the central character. Although Hamlet is characterized as daring, brave, loyal, and intelligent, he is overwhelmed by his own conscience. "

Debate Argument: Hamlet's tragic flaw was not his inability to act | Debate.org

Debate Argument: Hamlet's tragic flaw was not his inability to act | Debate.org: "Hamlet is the "glass of fashion" and most of the other characters reflect some aspect of Hamlet. But who is Hamlet? A son of his warrior father, but also one who "could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself a king of infinite space." Hamlet the soldier rants in golden couplets of warlike noise, while Hamlet the scholar unfolds himself through inaction and silence. But to be true to himself, Hamlet has to recognize that he is both soldier and scholar. "

No Fear Shakespeare: Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 3, Page 3

No Fear Shakespeare: Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 3, Page 3: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee."
