Inwood is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is located on the northern tip of Manhattan Island. Inwood is a neighborhood surrounded by natural features physically bounded by the Harlem River to the north and east, the Hudson River to the west the Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the north, and the hills and ridges of Washington Heights to the south. It extends southward to Fort Tryon Park and alternatively Dyckman Street or Fairview Avenue farther south. Inwood is a vibrant community

Inwood, just like the roots on a tree that have branched out of its conformity. Inwood is no longer a place with one voice. It has become an area with a lively audience: filled with endless sounds that resemble different forms of beauty. These sounds, in an inexplicable way, have become trapped with one another forming a complex union—one that only the people within that union can understand. Adventitious changes have come to Inwood. Changes that are of great significance for the different form of

Research Paper – Dyckman Farm House & Museum Dyckman Farmhouse Museum narrates the story of rural Northern Manhattan, a landscape and a life that disappeared in the makeover of a farming community to urban neighborhood. Through the history of the Dyckman family and farm, the museum discovers life in early 19th century rural Manhattan and the protection of that memory in the early 20th century. The Dyckman Farm house & Museum is a historical place that reminds us of how the city looked and how it

Partisanship is often a pitfall for many public servants, as it can present itself in a variety of dilemmas (Inwood, 2012). In many instances, public servants are influenced by the politics-administration dichotomy, a democratic phenomenon in which politics and administration are to remain separate from one another but work together for the benefit of the taxpaying citizen (Drysdale, 2010). Partisanship influences the issues inherent to this dichotomy because politicians often make the rules that

The policy problem of the rezoning of Inwood is that many of the existing inhabitants would be dislocated if new buildings are built. Not only would these high-density buildings bring in more people to the neighborhood, but these people would mostly be middle-class citizens, which would cause gentrification and negatively affect low-income people that lived in Inwood for years. With the new middle-class population will come middle class businesses. These will replace the local businesses that have

For example, amendments in the Public Service Employment Act in 1992 forbid discrimination in hiring or promotion on the basis of “race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, marital status, or disability” (Inwood, 2012, p. 277). Since the 1992 reforms, the Public Service Commission’s goal is to make Canada’s public service more representative of the population using passive representation not only through the prohibition of

The public servant might be required to make determinations about what constitutes a public interest given then way they interpret various codes and duties within their position. The most effective way to ensure ethical behaviour in this area is for the public service to establish a good working relationship with societal interest affected by legislation, and “broker” differences between competing groups (Inwood, 2012, p. 344). If the bureaucrat finds

Skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty, SoHo, Central Park and The World Trade Center are all the pictures that show up in the head of a tourist and are shown on Wikipedia when you search for New York City. But what about my New York City? Living in upper Manhattan has been my New York City for the past eighteen years. Uptown is very different from downtown Manhattan. I grew up with bodegas at every possible corner. Usually, one of the bodegas are owned by Muslim people, and across the street one will

neighborhood at the mezzo-level, but affects the macro and micro. It located in upper Manhattan that is north of Harlem and south of Inwood. Begins on 115th street, it is typically thought to end around Hillside Avenue. This neighborhood has the Hudson River on the west and the Harlem River to the east.

These two communities are similar in their ethnic populations, make up the tip of the borough

Introduction Almost all humans have a biological urge to have a child. However this biological urge is not always easily fulfilled for some humans because they suffer from infertility. Currently one in six Canadian couples is categorized as being infertility (Government of Canada, 2013). The World Health Organization defines infertility as a “disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse
