Abstract We evaluated the associations amongst fine particulate matter (PM2.5 <12, 12–14, and ≥15 μg/m3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2 <26, 26–29, and ≥30 ppb) and abruption in prospective cohort of 685,908 pregnancies in New York City (2008-2014). In co-pollutant analyses these associations were examined using distributed lag non-linear models based on Cox models. The prevalence of abruption was 0.9% (n=6025). Compared to PM2.5 <12 μg/m3, women exposed to PM2.5 ≥15 μg/m3 in the third trimester experienced higher abruption rate (hazard ratio [HR] 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41, 2.00). Compared to NO2 <26 ppb, women exposed to 26-29 ppb (HR 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.20) and ≥30 ppb (HR 1.06, 95% CI: 0.91, 1.24) in the first trimester were associated with higher abruption rate. Compared to both PM2.5 and NO2 <95th percentile in the third trimester, rates of abruption were increased with both PM2.5 and NO2 ≥95th percentile (HR 1.44, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.80) and PM2.5 ≥95th percentile and NO2 <95th percentile (HR 1.43 95% CI: 1.23, 1.66). Increased PM2.5 levels in the third trimester and NO2 in the first trimester are associated with elevated abruption rates, suggesting that these exposures may be important triggers of premature placental separation through different pathways.

The 1960S

Chapter 7 begins with information about La Meri’s performances in New York City and on tours—as a soloist and with company members such as her sister Lilian Newcomer, Peter di Falco, Rebecca Harris, and others. The second section introduces what La Meri termed “ethnic ballets,” new works she choreographed (usually with a story line and characters) that incorporated the technique of one of the international dance languages she had studied. Since most audience members were unfamiliar with what they were viewing, explanations were a useful and appreciated addition. Lilian therefore gave introductions to each dance, and this became a regular feature of La Meri’s concerts. The third section covers her involvement in the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Cultural Freedom

The Paris Festival of Masterpieces of the 20th Century lasted throughout May, and few had time to see it all. Unlike many foreign festivals that spread themselves out over a similar period, it was crammed tight with good things throughout, with something of interest every night except Sundays from 30 April to 1 June. The third week was the climax of the festival, and in general the last two weeks were more exciting than the first two, which were apparently meant to draw the Parisian bourgeoisie, being devoted mainly to ballet by the New York City Ballet, and containing nothing in music worth a journey abroad except perhaps two performances by the Vienna Opera of Wozzeck, which is rapidly becoming as familiar as The Rite of Spring. In the last two weeks, the festival's so-called literary conferences on cultural freedom were held, and to give these the best possible chance of wide publicity, the organizers had cleverly saved up their musical trump cards until then, with what was virtually a Stravinsky-Bartók-Schoenberg week, Stravinsky himself conducting his two late symphonies and Oedipus Rex, with Cocteau as producer, designer, narrator (and of course librettist), followed in the last week by Billy Budd conducted by Britten, excerpts from Milhaud's setting of the Oresteia, and Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts.

My class in Methods of Teaching Arithmetic at Child Education Foundation, New York City, is composed of students in the third year of their teachertraining course. The students have had no teaching experience except a little student teaching. Their arithmetic course is a three-strand course. One strand deals with studying and evaluating current theory and practice in the teaching of arithmetic.

Infrastructure Resilience

In recent years, the New York City metropolitan area was hit by two major hurricanes, Irene and Sandy. These extreme weather events disrupted and devastated the transportation infrastructure, including road and subway networks. As an extension of the authors’ recent research on this topic, this study explored the spatial patterns of infrastructure resilience in New York City with the use of taxi and subway ridership data. Neighborhood tabulation areas were used as the units of analysis. The recovery curve of each neighborhood tabulation area was modeled with the logistic function to quantify the resilience of road and subway systems. Moran's I tests confirmed the spatial correlation of recovery patterns for taxi and subway ridership. To account for this spatial correlation, citywide spatial models were estimated and found to outperform linear models. Factors such as the percentage of area influenced by storm surges, the distance to the coast, and the average elevation are found to affect the infrastructure resilience. The findings in this study provide insights into the vulnerability of transportation networks and can be used for more efficient emergency planning and management.

CHARACTERIZATION, REVISIONISM AND MISREPRESENTATION IN THE FILMS OF JULIAN SCHNABEL A few years ago after viewing the 2007 film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the third film by contemporary director and (former) star painter Julian Schnabel, a friend of New York Review of Books writer Sanford Schwartz prophetically announced to the critic, "Apparently it's easier to make a great movie than a great painting."(1) Indeed, Schnabel's ascension to art stardom has taken a truly enigmatic path. Initially conjuring his success as a painter within the elitist landscape of the late 20th century New York City art market, today we find Schnabel strutting down the red carpet of the Cannes and Toronto international film festivals after writing and directing three films while armed with seemingly zero experience in the field of filmmaking or screenwriting. As a painter, Schnabel's work is largely classified as "Neo-Expressionist", belonging to Postmodernism's timely...

Cultural Visibility

Cultural visibility was one of its most effective mechanisms of protest in the late 1960s via posters, slogans, songs and images that gave collective purpose to ideas and campaigns. This chapter looks at performance of protest, looking specifically at the way that protest was “staged” as musical and theatrical spectacle in 1968. It focuses on three case studies: the musical spectacle of the Los Angeles rock group The Doors and the folk singer Phil Ochs who performed at the Chicago Democratic National Convention in August 1968; the theatrical experimentation of The Living Theatre’s radical play Paradise Now which was honed in Paris and performed first in New Haven, Connecticut in September 1968; and the British filmmaker Peter Whitehead’s ambivalent take on New York City in his 1969 film The Fall, the third part of which focuses on the student sit-in at Columbia University in April 1968.
