[{"text": "A series of protests by Dutch livestock farmers, characterised by the use of tractors to block roads and occupy public spaces, have been ongoing since 2019. The protests were initially triggered in October 2019 by a proposal in parliament to halve the country's livestock in an attempt to limit agricultural pollution in the Netherlands, but protesting farmers have frequently told media that they are motivated by a perceived lack of respect for their profession by the Dutch populace, media and politicians. The protests combined several action groups and an amalgamation of larger goals, which included less government regulation for farmers, more air time for pro-farmer sentiments, and more policy to punish Shell and Tata Steel for their part in the emission crisis. Public understanding for the farmers has remained high for the duration of the conflict, but actual support began to waver by the end of 2019. By July 2020, 55% of people responding to a survey polled by \"EenVandaag\" did not support further protests, but just over half of the respondents did remain sympathetic to the farmers. Public understanding continued to be high through the summer of 2022, while public support for the protests was polled as low as"}, {"text": "39% by \"I&O Research\"; particularly low support was found among people living in urban areas\".\" Background. The Netherlands has a significant agrarian and livestock sector, which produces and transits large quantities of agricultural exports. As such, the country is the second largest exporter of agricultural produce in the world after the United States when the exportation of imported agricultural goods, such as cattle and soybeans are included. Large imports of cattle fodder cause an imbalance in the nitrogen cycle. Since the mid-2000s, climate activism and animal rights activism have become more commonplace in the Dutch House of Representatives and general political discourse of the Netherlands, especially with the emergence of the Party for the Animals as a political force. Policy proposals by parties such as the Dutch green party, GroenLinks, and the social liberal D66 have since emphasized the need for farmers to transition into sustainable farming. These policy proposals were consistently met with opposition by farmers and their representatives. Between 1990 and 2010, considerable progress had been made in reducing agricultural pollution, during a series of coalitions between centre-left and centre-right parties. In 2010 however, the centre-right Christian Democratic Appeal and People's Party for Freedom and Democracy formed a"}, {"text": "minority cabinet with the support of the far-right Party for Freedom. Pollution reduction projects were largely put on hold, while existing regulations were no longer strictly enforced. Even though this First Rutte cabinet proved to be short-lived, it led to a trend break in environmental policy. In reaction, environmental activists began to sue the Dutch state, demanding that the laws would be upheld. In 2019, the Netherlands entered a nitrogen emission crisis when on 29 May the Council of State, the highest Dutch administrative court, ruled that the existing emission policy violated Dutch law and European regulations protecting vulnerable nature reserves and biotopes. In principle no further emission critically impacting such areas was allowed, which threatened to halt a significant part of Dutch building and infrastructural projects, unless their nitrogen output would be compensated by a reduction in agricultural emissions. The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) reported that the severely damaging effects of nitrogen on Dutch soil could only be halted by direct action. The institute found that farmers were responsible for 46% of the country's nitrogen emission, mostly due to cow dung produced by the livestock industry. This situation led Tjeerd de Groot, a member"}, {"text": "of the House of Representatives for D66, a party in the ruling coalition, to propose new policy to halve the current Dutch livestock on 9 September 2019. The RIVM's findings coupled with De Groot's policy proposal led to resistance by Farmers Defence Force, a farmer activist group. It claimed that the institute had used \"shady methods\" to \"portray\" farmers as big time polluters. They claimed that their unfair portrayal as polluters is caused by the governments desire to let the real big time polluters go free. They claimed their fundamental rights were threatened by legislation aiming to lower emissions and demanded that any new legislation would not threaten agricultural undertakings with elimination. They also demanded more research to be undertaken before new legislation be proposed. The government repudiated the accusations of using \"shady methods\" being used by the RIVM and claimed the numbers were correct. In addition to the nitrogen emission crisis, Dutch news media have reported that farmers have felt disrespected or threatened in their existence because of increased government regulation on the agricultural and livestock sectors, as well as the popularity of animal rights activism among the Dutch population.

Protests against halving industrial livestock production (2019\u20132020). October 2019. 1 October was one of the days with the most intense protests. Thousands of farmers went to The Hague to protest, their tractors causing over a thousand kilometres of traffic jams. This made it the busiest morning rush (hour) in the history of the Netherlands. When arriving at designated location, the Malieveld, the protesters damaged the area, driving through fences and signs and destroying the landscape. Afterwards farmers offered to assist in repairing the damage. In a speech, sheep farmer Bart Kemp said that politicians lack the intelligence of farmers and claimed that the protests were the biggest ever undertaken by farmers in all of history. Minister Carola Schouten promises in a speech that as long as she is minister of agriculture to regulate the amount of legally allowed livestock, part of the livestock will not be halved, a measure which parties like Democrats 66 supported in order to shrink nitrogen"}, {"text": "emissions. When proponents of the nitrogen measures got to tell their side of the story the farmers turned their backs to the stage and drowned out their arguments with curse words. The farmers again used unlawful actions, one such example is when a microphone was taken so as to prevent proponents of the climate measures from talking, making necessary the intervention of security personnel. On 11 October, farmers protested against the new nitrogen emission legislation in the provinces of Friesland and North Brabant. As a result, the Frisian province revoked the law. At 12:00 on 14 October, employers\u2019 organisation LTO Nederland's protest action began, having called on its 14,000 members to begin protesting in Gelderland, Overijssel, Drenthe, Groningen, North Holland, South Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht. In Groningen the farmers stormed the provincial government building. This was condemned by LTO Nederland. Farmers from Limburg protested in front of the provincial government headquarters in Maastricht on 15 October. In Zeeland farmers began negotiating instead of holding protests.

This was a reaction to the violence the farmers employed in Groningen during previous protests. 17 October began with the farmers preparing a free breakfast for the inhabitants of The Hague before they hit the road again, using their tractors to dump used paper at government buildings. November 2019. On 25 November, many farmers and builders parked next to the exits of major roads throughout the country, threatening to block access to them.

Farmers Defence Force planned to block food distribution throughout the country in the week before Christmas. FDF frontman Mark van den Oever stated that he wanted to refresh Dutch citizens' memories of the Dutch famine of 1944\u20131945, during which thousands of citizens travelled to the countryside to beg local farmers for food due to shortages in the densely populated western parts of the Netherlands."}, {"text": "Next to that, Van den Oever stirred great controversy while comparing the situation of the Dutch farmers to that of the persecution of Jews during World War II. These statements led to both support as well as anger. Out of 4,955 farmers who filled in a survey by agricultural organisation LTO Nederland, 71% did not support potential blockings. 15% did not want any more protests at all. The potential blockings were quickly denounced as illegal. On 13 December, in a surprise protest, Farmers Defence Force blocked the roads to Eindhoven Airport for several hours, leading to severe traffic jams throughout the eastern part of Brabant. That same day, farmers also held protests in both Amsterdam and Den Bosch. Farmer Defence Force called the surprise protest in Eindhoven a teaser for the 18 December protests. On 17 December, a court case ruled that the farmers were not allowed to block the food distribution on their planned protest date on 18 December, but were allowed to protest at the locations. The farmers announced protests at 45 different locations, including the Media Park in Hilversum. However, blockings still occurred after all. In Bergen op Zoom, farmers blocked a chemicals company.

On 7 December, it was announced that \"De boer dat is de keerl\" was the ninth most voted song, and the top voted song in rural areas such as Twente, Weststellingwerf and Normaal's native Achterhoek region. February 2020. Farmers Defence Force announced a new protest, but canceled it in advance.

The FDF reached out to the farmers and asked them to adhere to the rules. They protested on the Koekamp, a small park next to the Malieveld instead. The second difference is the usage of highways. The Dutch National Police stated that they will enforce standard traffic rules. This resulted in a few farmers being pulled over and fined on different roads throughout the country for driving a tractor on motorways, despite Farmers Defence Force stressing that farmers shouldn't make use of motor- or highways. Different political parties were invited to speech at the protest. The PVV of Geert Wilders, Forum voor Democratie and CDA were invited.

The farmers carried stickers of the FDF, which they wanted to put on the building. Protests against reduction of crude protein levels in fodder (2020). On 6 May 2020, Minister Schouten announced that she would set a maximum for the crude protein content in fodder for dairy cattle that would take effect in September 2020. The goal of this legislation was to reduce nitrogen emissions in the short term so that houses could be built to combat the ongoing shortage of affordable housing in the Netherlands. This was criticized by farmers because it would be bad for the health of the animals and would lead to lower production. July 2020.

Also on 12 December, farmers blocked the Albert Heijn distribution center in Zwolle and briefly the Zaanstad distribution center on 13 December. 4,500 customers did not receive their orders from Albert Heijn and 1,700 from Jumbo. Mayor Peter Snijders of Zwolle (also chairman of the IJsselland Security Region) gave the farmers an ultimatum, after which they left. Angered, Snijders stated that a line had been crossed: \"After two major blockades at this distribution center, I have now reached the point that I can not let this go on. Especially during this COVID pandemic, it is risky to do this now.

Agricultural minister Schouten condemned actions that affected \"ordinary people who work and do their grocery shopping\" and that the security regions should tackle this. Even the radical Farmers Defence Force thought the blockades went too far and discouraged farmers from demonstrating at distribution centers. This may have been because, according to the FDF, the trade association Central Bureau for Food Trade (CBL) had threatened to take the FDF to court and have its members pay for damages.

In October 2020, the NCTV warned that the grievances of the farmers had been co-opted by conspiracy theorists and political extremists who had also become a driving force behind the nascent COVID-19 protests.

Look down on them.\" Bleker claimed afterwards that he wanted to prevent farmers' aggression towards the vegans and animal rights activists (in retaliation for the occupation of the stables in Boxtel), but according to some vegans this set the tone for further contempt. With the return of largescale farmers' protests in the summer of 2022, threats against agricultural businesses and interest groups also appeared on social media. A man from Emmen, for instance, posted a recruitment message for an 'Animal Defence Force' on Facebook, writing that \"the extreme farmer scum must be tracked down and locked up. They are right-wing nationalists and comparable to Nazis towards animals.\" In response to threats of farm occupations and livestock liberation, the Ministry of Justice and Security and LTO Nederland had collaborated on a fact sheet for potential targets of activism in November 2019, but some felt more preventative action was needed.

Home visits by protesters. Visits by groups of farmers and pro-farmer activists to the businesses and private residences of opposing or dissenting politicians and activists revived the public debate about the limits of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to protest.

Nancy Roper was born on 29 September 1918, at Wetheral, near Carlisle, England, her mother was a nanny. Roper had wanted to be a nurse as a child. Her initial training was as a registered sick children's nurse (gaining a gold medal at Booth Hall Hospital, Manchester). After this she trained as a state registered (adult) nurse in 1943, winning student nurse medals at Leeds General Infirmary. Roper was called up to the Territorial Army as a nurse teacher, in World War II, although teaching was a reserved occupation. Her next role was as a teaching staff nurse, and then senior tutor at Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, following completing a sister tutor diploma from London University in 1950. Later career.

Roper won a British Commonwealth Nurses War Memorial Fellowship to study for MPhil at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1970. Her international studies in nurse education also included USA and Canada. Her practical and theoretical question was simply \"'What is nursing?\"' which led to a thesis on '\"Clinical Experience in Nurse Education\"' and identified that most nursing skills and interventions related to daily activities of patients. Roper proposed the first organised approach to nurse care planning, which was researched and refined to become a model of Activities of Living (and known as Roper\u2013Logan\u2013Tierney model of nursing). Roper was (from 1974 to 1978) the first nursing research officer for the Scottish Home and Health Department, working with the Chief Scientist, and carried out assignments for the World Health Organisation (WHO) European Office. The collaboration with Tierney and Logan continued with the writing of the \"Elements of Nursing\" in 1980.

It is now used as framework for nursing in America and on the continent of Europe with a history of being used particularly well in medical and surgical settings. Nursing methods developed from the activities of living and enhanced for use in a wider range of care settings, include for managing care in the community.

The activities of daily living are the key to the model of care which seeks to define \u201cwhat living means:\u201d The factors that influence activities of living are biological, psychological, sociocultural, environmental, and politicoeconomic. These factors make the model holistic, and if they are not included in assessment, it will be both incomplete and flawed.\" Death and legacy. Roper died in Edinburgh 5 October 2004, and tributes were paid in nursing and general publications. However both the \"Nursing Times\" said she had 'influenced generations of nurses' and the British Journal of Nursing also noted that Roper received neither a state honour nor a Royal College of Nursing fellowship.

Clear light yellow in colour and with roughly 20% alc/vol, it is one of the most well-known liqueurs in its country of origin. It is made from the seeds of the bitter almond, and is similar in flavour to the Italian amaretto. Origin and production. The bitter almond (\"Prunus dulcis\" var. \"amara\"), despite growing plentifully around the Algarve region, was never commonly harvested or consumed. This was due not only to its remarkably bitter flavour, but also to the high concentration of cyanide in its drupes, which can cause severe or even lethal effects if ingested in large amounts. When crushed, macerated and distilled, however; both the cyanide traces and bitter flavour are completely eliminated. The result of the lengthy process is a smooth and sweet liqueur, which bears no trace of the negative attributes of the raw material used in its production. Brands.

The structure was designed in the Italian Romanesque Revival style by York and Sawyer, with William Louis Ayres as the partner in charge. It is on the south side of 42nd Street, across from Grand Central Terminal to the north and between the Pershing Square Building to the west and the Chanin Building to the east. 110 East 42nd Street is named for the Bowery Savings Bank, which had erected the building as a new branch structure to supplement its original building at 130 Bowery. The building was erected within \"Terminal City\", a collection of buildings above the underground tracks surrounding Grand Central, and makes use of real-estate air rights above the tracks. The building is directly above the New York City Subway's Grand Central\u201342nd Street station. As it was not a freestanding structure, 110 East 42nd Street deviated from traditional bank building designs, being laid out as an office building with a bank.

An annex known as the \"Chapel\" is to the east of the banking room, and an elevator vestibule and subway entrance are to the west. The other floors are used as offices. 110 East 42nd Street, as well as the adjacent Pershing Square Building, were built on the site of the Grand Union Hotel. Construction started in 1921 and was completed in 1923, and an addition was built between 1931 and 1933. Its facade and banking hall were made New York City designated landmarks in 1996. The building was sold to SL Green in 1998, and the former banking space was turned into an event venue and banquet hall operated by Cipriani S.A.

The L-shaped land lot occupies , with a frontage of on 42nd Street and a depth of . On the same block, the Pershing Square Building is to the west and the Chanin Building is to the east. Other nearby buildings include the Grand Hyatt New York hotel to the north, the Chrysler Building to the northeast, the Socony\u2013Mobil Building to the east, and 101 Park Avenue to the south. The completion of the underground Grand Central Terminal in 1913 resulted in the rapid development of Terminal City, the area around Grand Central, as well as a corresponding increase in real-estate prices. Among these were the New York Central Building at 47th Street and Park Avenue, as well as the Grand Central Palace across 42nd Street from the present 110 East 42nd Street. By 1920, the area had become what \"The New York Times\""}, {"text": "called \"a great civic centre\". Architecture. The building was designed in the Italian Romanesque Revival style by the firm of York & Sawyer. The design shares many elements with the Pershing Square Building directly to the west, which was also co-designed by York & Sawyer. The George A. Fuller Company was the general contractor, and numerous other contractors and material suppliers were involved in the building's construction. \"Architecture and Building\" characterized the building as having been inspired by Byzantine architecture, while architect and writer Robert A. M. Stern described the edifice as containing elements of both the Byzantine and the Romanesque. Form. York and Sawyer's original plans for 110 East 42nd Street called for a four-story-tall banking room, topped by thirteen office floors, to extend the width of the block between 41st and 42nd Streets. A hip-roofed penthouse on top of the office floors would bring the building's height to 18 floors. The building has a frontage of on 42nd Street and extends to the back of the lot at 41st Street.

Most significantly, it did not resemble a \"modified Greek temple\" as earlier bank buildings had. The building was instead designed in the Italian Romanesque Revival style, The Italian Romanesque design provided consistency to the facade, since the Pershing Square Building to the west was designed in a similar manner. York & Sawyer's ultimate design emphasized the juxtaposition of office and banking concerns in the building, which are stacked one above the other. The placement of offices above the banking hall reflected the limitations of the small site. Facade. The facade is divided into three vertical sections: the base, tower, and upper stories. The facade contains elements such as arcades, and cornices with corbelling. A variety of materials and colors are used for the building's individual elements. The facade elements are also decorated with representations of figures such as \"birds, beasts, fantastic mythological creatures [and] human forms\". The 42nd Street facade is largely made of Ohio sandstone. On the 42nd Street side, there are also columns and colonettes made of pink granite; tiled wall copings; and spandrels made of green marble.

On the four-story base facing 42nd Street to the north, there is a large round-arched entrance taking up most of the facade, with detailed archivolts running on the underside of the archway. The arch measures wide and high. The large ground-floor arch leads to the giant banking room inside. A short flight of stairs leads to a set of doors, above which is a large window that fills the rest of the arch opening. There are voussoirs running along the top of the arch, with a carved motif located within every other voussoir.

To the west of the main archway (on the right side as seen from 42nd Street), a small arch provides access to the office tower's entrance vestibule, the elevator lobby, and the subway station. The entrance contains a semicircular tympanum above the doorway, with a geometric pattern, as well as embossed surrounds on either side of the doorway. The words \"The Bowery Savings Bank Building\" are inscribed on top of the tympanum, and the building's address is fully spelled out on the bottom of the tympanum.

The floor slopes upward toward the south end of the room, since the 41st Street entrance is slightly higher than the entrance on 42nd Street. Another ramp slopes upward toward the \"Chapel\" annex to the east. The 42nd Street branch had a single waiting and banking room, obviating the need for clerks to frequently walk between back-room desks and public-facing counters. The floor is made of polychrome marble, bordered by a cream-colored band of Traneville marble. The floor is arranged in multicolored patterns, laid in asymmetrical panels to resemble throw rugs. The patterns alternate between lozenges with stars, lozenges with squares, and hexagons. A wooden staircase at the northeastern corner of the banking room leads to the basement; it contains Levanto marble walls and parapet, as well as wooden handrails. The marble tellers' counter, high, was in the middle of the banking room. The high wainscot and counter base were made of Rosso Levanto marble. A bronze teller's screen ran above the surface of the teller's counter. There were openings in the counter on its north and south sides. The screen was capped by what \"Architectural Forum\" described as"}, {"text": "\"21 squat immortal penny-savers in pierced levanto\". Behind the screen, and on the desks, were reflectors that illuminated the work space. The east and west walls each have five arches supported by six polished-marble columns, each of a different color. Proceeding from north to south, the columns are made of Rouge Jaspe, Alps Green, Campan Melange, Rouge Royal, Tinos Green, and Levanto marbles. Each column measures high and has a diameter of . The columns' bases and capitals are made of Indiana limestone in high relief. The arches were nearly completely filled with mosaic designs, except for stone grilles that concealed the openings for the heating system. The remainder of the walls are made of stone in various types and textures. Indiana limestone and Briar Hill and Buff Mountain sandstone are used for the main wall surfaces. Marble, artificial stone, and plaster are also used. The socle is made of Alps Green marble, and the walls above are made of limestone and sandstone.

Six major trusses run perpendicular to the walls and are supported by twelve corbels, while smaller trusses run diagonally between alternating corbels. Six chandeliers hang from the ceiling at the locations where the diagonal trusses cross each other. The elevator doors contain bronze panels with various embossed motifs. History. In 1913, the Dual Contracts were signed by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and the Brooklyn\u2013Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), two companies which operated parts of the present New York City Subway. A set of platforms at Grand Central, now serving the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (), was to be built diagonally under the building site as part of the agreement. At the time, the site under the proposed station was occupied by Grand Union Hotel, which was condemned via eminent domain in February 1914. The condemnation"}, {"text": "proceedings for the hotel cost $3.5 million (equal to $ million in ). To pay the station's construction cost, the Public Service Commission approved the construction of a 25-story building above the station. By May 1915, the building site had been excavated for the construction of the building. Despite the passage of the 1916 Zoning Resolution, which required architectural setbacks to provide light to the streets below, the building plans conformed with the older zoning codes, which did not require setbacks. Though the IRT Lexington Avenue Line's 42nd Street station opened in 1918, the site above the station was not developed as planned. The Transit Commission attempted to sell the building site in May 1920 for $2.8 million (equal to $ million in ), but no one placed a bid. Then in July 1920, a realty consortium headed by investor Henry Mandel offered $2.9 million for the hotel (equal to $ million in ), a proposal that was accepted. The value of the land at the future building site was extremely valuable; by 1923, the \"Rider's Guide to New York City\" referred to the blocks of East 42nd Street between Park and Fifth Avenues as \"Little Wall Street\". Planning and"}, {"text": "construction. The Bowery Savings Bank, then located at 130 Bowery in lower Manhattan, was among the parties which were seeking to add an uptown location. In September 1920, its trustees unanimously agreed to look for an uptown site. The trustees soon found a site on 42nd Street. The bank's management were initially unenthusiastic about the 42nd Street site, because it was right next to the elevated Grand Central station. However, the bank's president pointed out that the original Bowery Savings Bank Building was itself next to an elevated line and that the 42nd Street location was very close to Grand Central Terminal and its attached subway station. Another issue was that a standalone bank building at 42nd Street was too expensive, so the building would also have to contain offices. The trustees bought the lot in November 1920 and established a committee the next month to draw up plans. The Bowery Savings Bank's decision reflected the northward movement of commerce in Manhattan, as well as the influence of suburbs on new development in New York City's core. When the Bowery Savings Bank was planning its new uptown location, savings banks in New York were mostly limited to one location, a"}, {"text": "restriction that was not lifted until 1923. In November 1920, the bank circumvented this restriction by acquiring the Universal Savings Bank in lower Manhattan, which then relocated to 42nd Street. The Bowery Savings Bank was the first bank in the state to take advantage of a special provision in the state law, which allowed a savings bank to operate two branches if it merged with another savings bank. The Bowery Savings Bank took over the Universal Savings Bank in January 1921 and started operating a temporary branch next to Grand Central Terminal. That month, Mandel sold the Bowery Savings Bank the eastern half of the Grand Union Hotel site, which would be developed into an office building at 110 East 42nd Street. As per the purchase agreement between the bank and the corporation, the structures were to contain interlocking structures, including what was believed to be the city's tallest party wall separating two buildings. York and Sawyer, designers of several bank buildings in the eastern United States, had been hired to devise plans for the new Savings Bank at the site of the Grand Union Hotel. The lead architect on the project was William Louis Ayres. The plans were filed"}, {"text": "with the New York City Department of Buildings in April 1921. Excavations had started in February 1921 in advance of the plans' approval, and that June, the building committee recommended to start construction immediately. Construction on the building officially commenced that July with a groundbreaking ceremony. By the time the new branch opened in 1923, there were 155,000 people with accounts at the Bowery Savings Bank. The bank had seen $1.5 million in deposits () \"on one day recently\", compared to the $2,020 deposited on the original branch's opening day in 1834 (). The 42nd Street branch's managers referred to the location as the \"42nd Street Office of the Bowery Savings Bank\", refusing to call it a \"branch\". Bank and office use. The bank's 42nd Street branch opened on June 25, 1923, with 5,600 accounts, more than half of which had been transferred from the Universal Savings branch. Just prior to the branch's opening, the bank moved $202 million of deposits (equal to $ billion in ) the original branch to the new branch, using 14 armored cars guarded by 100 heavily armed policemen. The bank retained its original offices on Bowery. Upon the opening of 110 East 42nd Street,"}, {"text": "the branch had total deposits of $177 million (equal to $ billion in ). There were 2,500 new accounts opened at the 42nd Street branch on the first day of operation. Customers registered 33,803 new accounts in the following nine months, and total deposits at the 42nd Street branch increased by $25 million in that time period (equal to $ million in ). The presence of the new Bowery Savings Bank branch and of brokerage firms on 42nd Street bolstered its reputation as a \"Little Wall Street\". Some alterations were made to the main building in 1927, including the installation of a clock, bronze display cases, and revolving doors outside the 42nd Street entrance. The bank established a safe-deposit department at its 42nd Street branch in March 1929, with 2,924 safe-deposit boxes in seven sizes. By the end of that year, the bank had installed 860 more safe-deposit boxes to address growing demand. A six-story addition to the east, which came to be called \"The Chapel\", was proposed in March 1931. York and Sawyer filed plans for the annex that August. The first floor of the annex would contain offices for administration, collection, information, a nd new accounts. The second"}, {"text": "story would include mortgage offices; the third story would be for the controller's department; and the fourth story would include service rooms. Louis Ayres designed the addition, while Marc Eidlitz & Son, Inc. erected the structure. The Chapel annex was completed by 1933. The fifth floor facade's marble colonnettes were replaced with granite ones in 1951, and the annex's windows and entrance were redesigned in 1956. A plaque was erected outside 110 East 42nd Street in 1957, designating it as a point of interest and an unofficial \"landmark\". The screen above the 42nd Street archway were replaced with a glass window in 1962. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) first considered designating the Bowery Savings Bank branch at 110 East 42nd Street as a landmark in 1966. A year after the Bowery Savings Bank was acquired by H. F. Ahmanson & Co. in 1991, the building's ownership was jointly transferred to Ahmanson and a limited partnership, which owned the building as a condominium.

The ground-floor banking room was converted to a Cipriani restaurant and upscale event space, with Cipriani finalizing the deal for the new location in January 1999. At the same time, with the renovation and revival of Grand Central in the late 1990s, large tenants began occupying 110 East 42nd's office space. In 2007, Gotham Realty Holdings bought the building for $111.5 million, funding the purchase with a loan of $124 million from Carlton Advisory Services. By 2011, Gotham was unable to pay the remaining $90 million of its loan. In an attempt to avoid foreclosure, the loan servicer split the loan into a $65 million interest-payable note and a $25 million interest-free note. This failed and SL Green took back the property in 2011, paying $85.5 million. SL Green also bought the building's garage in 2013. By 2014, the building was completely occupied by tenants such as The"}, {"text": "Princeton Review, Metro-North Railroad, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. At the time, the restrooms and corridors on the office floors had just been upgraded. The areas immediately surrounding Grand Central, including 110 East 42nd, had of air rights above the terminal and its rail yards. This allowed for the construction of developments with that maximum floor area above Grand Central. That year, some of 110 East 42nd's unused air rights were passed to One Vanderbilt, a skyscraper being built a block to the west. In May 2020, amid a loss of income during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, Cipriani defaulted on a mortgage loan that had been placed on its event venues at 110 East 42nd Street and 55 Wall Street. A special servicer took over the mortgage in 2021, but the two event venues were at risk of foreclosure by the end of that year. In December 2021, SL Green sold the building's 6th to 18th floors, as well as the building's garage, to Meadow Partners for $117 million. Meadow obtained $58.5 million from Apollo Global Management to finance the acquisition.

Shortly after the building was completed, Charles G. Loring of \"Architectural Forum\" wrote in 1928 that the edifice was \"a castle in the clouds brought to earth, and the ticket of admission is only a stiff little deposit book.\" Though the Bowery Savings Bank had 200,000 depositors at the time of the building's opening, Loring wrote that each depositor could say of the banking hall: \"This was built for me; herein am I privileged.\" On the other hand, historian and author George Harold Edgell wrote: \"From the point of view of sound economics it is shocking. From the point of beauty it is a complete success.\" The fifth edition of the \"AIA Guide to New York City\" referred to 110 East 42nd Street as \"one of the great spaces of New York.\" A 1986 article in the Canadian newspaper \"The Globe and Mail\" said that 110 East 42nd Street \"flaunts the power of New York money.

The center was located in the Biltmore Hotel at 41 Park Avenue in New York City. It closed in 1940, but the efforts made to establish a center to collect records encouraged several colleges and universities to begin develop similar archives of women's history. It was one of the earliest efforts to collect women's documents in the United States, predated the first accredited women's studies course in the U.S by 34 years, and preserved materials about women which otherwise might have been lost. It also redefined the way that historical documents were selected for archival inclusion. By changing what documents were noteworthy, using personal records to shape public history, the Women's Archive legacy was foundational to the development of feminist theory. Establishment. In 1935, Rosika Schwimmer, a pacifist suffragist, proposed to historian Mary Ritter Beard an idea to establish an archive to preserve the records of influential women. In Schwimmer's letter to Beard, she expressed her desire to create a repository for her personal archives,"}, {"text": "as well as leaders in the feminist and pacifist movements. Lamenting the lack of scholarship on women's history, she noted that while some noted women's records had been preserved, they were scattered, making it difficult to create an accurate or complete accounting of historic people and events.

Evaluating the state of feminism in the 1930s, Beard had concluded that greed and destructive tendencies had led to the Great Depression and that the equality sought by some feminists was merely \"equality in disaster\". She thought that women should focus on new ideas which would create a better society. She believed that a knowledge of the roles women had played throughout history could help women forge new leadership paths without imitating systems with subjugated them. Upon receipt of Schwimmer's letter, Beard immediately understood the educational value of such an archive, which would allow academics and other women to study women, rather than focusing solely on the achievements of men.

To that end, she wrote to Ellen Sullivan Woodward, who instructed Works Progress Administration employees to search for records on women and Dorothy B.

Beard was convinced that it only appeared that women were passive actors throughout history because there were no records showing that they had always been involved in defining civilization. She and supporters who created the Women's Archive aimed to integrate women and their achievements into the historical record, and remove the label of \"mundane\" or \"insignificant\" from the study of social history. Schwimmer and Beard also recognized that the process of selecting materials reinforced biases by suppressing some materials in favor of others or using political motivation to shape records retention.

The pleas for collection also reminded contributors that though women often preserved the memorabilia of male relatives, they often destroyed their own records and letters, which perpetuated the incomplete historical record. To encourage broad participation, they also used the innovative technique of sending out questionnaires, creating oral history narratives, and suggested that new technologies like \"microfilm\" be used to allow for broad reproduction and consultation of materials. Initial efforts to raise funds resulted in women such as Irwin, Fannie Hurst, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alice Paul, and Eleanor Roosevelt sponsoring the archive, as well as other prominent women, like Frances Perkins, endorsing the project.

Although he did not go into exile with Tyrone, he claimed to have been betrayed by the English Crown, which he accused of failing to keep to an agreement over a large grant of lands. Arrested for treason, he was never brought to trial but was held captive in the Tower of London until his death sometime around 1617. Family background.

In June 1593, Donnell and his father Rory acknowledged Tyrone as their lord. Around the same time, O'Cahan married Mary O'Donnell (sister of Red Hugh O'Donnell). O'Cahan and Mary had a son (named Rory Oge O'Cahan) and a daughter. On 14 April 1598, his father died and O'Cahan succeeded to the O'Cahan chieftainship. The same year, O'Cahan renewed his alliance with Tyrone by leaving Mary and marrying Tyrone's daughter Rose. Rose had divorced from Red Hugh O'Donnell by 1598. It seems O'Cahan was never formally divorced from Mary which created enmity between him and his new father-in-law. In 1607, with English authorities turned against Tyrone, George Montgomery, the new Protestant Bishop of Derry, encouraged O'Cahan to leave Rose and return to his first wife. Montgomery wrote to Lord Deputy Arthur Chichester on 4 March 1607: \"the breach between [O'Cahan] and his landlord [the Earl of Tyrone] will be the greater by means of [the Earl's] daughter, his reputed wife, whom he has resolved to leave, having a"}, {"text": "former wife lawfully married to him.\" O'Cahan repudiated his marriage to Rose in 1607 and remarried to another woman, Honora O'Cahan.

Honora bore O'Cahan a son, Daniel Geimhleach (meaning \"fettered\", as he was conceived during O'Cahan's incarceration). Flight of the Earls. O'Cahan was knighted on 20 June 1607. In September, Tyrone and other earls fled the country in what is known as the Flight of the Earls. In early 1608, O'Cahan's brother joined the rebellion of Cahir O'Doherty, and although O'Cahan was not officially implicated, he was suspected of having knowledge of the uprising. He was arrested but never tried. The antiquarian Francis Joseph Bigger has suggested that he was rumoured to have attempted flight with Tyrone and the other rebel lords, and had only been prevented from doing so by an \"accidental delay in crossing some ferry on the road\".

This was compounded by the fact that, in English eyes, O'Cahan \"had become troublesome, and almost unmanageable of late, so, everything considered, it was thought best to take him also into special keeping at Dublin Castle\". Bigger notes that, although O'Cahan had remained loyal to his liege lord throughout the latter's seven-year campaign at the Crown, in 1608 he joined the major English statesman and commander in Ireland, Henry Docwra, on condition that O'Cahan would receive sufficient grants and lands to enable him to establish himself independently of Tyrone, and would no longer hold his estates in fief.

One of the red light districts in Mumbai emerged from British colonial rule in the middle of the nineteenth century. It was created out of a fear of British soldiers engaging in homosexual relations with other soldiers.

It was seen as necessary to stave off boredom among soldiers and to reinforce imperial dominance through sexual control of Indian women. In creating a zone for British soldiers to engage in \"safe heterosexual relations\" British colonial administration held the power to separate the brothel area from the \"respectable\" residential areas which granted them power and control over the lives of the sex workers. Research into sex work in Mumbai originally drew attention to the HIV/AIDS patterns discovered there. Researchers have subsequently studied the state of sex work in Mumbai by interviewing and collecting the narratives of those involved in and affected by sex work. Terminology. Svati P.

According to the anthropologist Susanne Asman there were vague terms used in Ichigyang to refer to women engaging in sex work; they were often described as \"Bombay going\" or \"women doing that work\". The terminology used to describe sex work in Mumbai depends on context. State of sex work in Mumbai. Mumbai contains the largest red light district in Asia, in the neighborhood of Kamathipura. Kamathipura is estimated to have over five thousand sex workers, who are identified as male, female, and transgender.

As efforts have increased to enforce anti-human trafficking and HIV/AIDS prevention, brothels have become the main target of these preventive measures.

From their wages the female sex workers typically have to pay for electricity, food, rent, interest, and bribes paid to local police. In recent years Mumbai has reported a dwindling number of brothels as a result of gentrification, heightened anti-trafficking efforts and police enforcement raids. This has resulted in the dispersal of sex workers, increasing their vulnerability.
