The built environment, Hamilton City Council policies and child driveway safety: a balancing act
No full textDriveway run-overs continue to bring tragedy to New Zealand families at a higher rate than any other Western nation. Meanwhile, little progress appears to have been made in regard to the recommendations of previous research. This project investigates whether recommendations in regard to one key factor in driveway run-overs, the built environment, are reflected in current local body policies and regulations. The research evaluates Hamilton City Council policies affecting the renovation and/or erection of domestic residences with a view to determining whether they are consistent with existing knowledge and best practice initiatives designed to minimise accidental injuries to children on driveways.
The project compares the findings of a review of the existing literature on child safety best practice for the built environment and urban design of driveways, with a review of Hamilton City Council policies and guidelines relating to the built environment of residential properties and adjacent roads (the Operative District Plan, Ten Year Plan, Urban Growth Strategy, Vista, and more), along with relevant central government policy. These findings are triangulated with data from interviews with four expert informants – one child safety expert and three Hamilton City Council employees involved in planning, policy and transport – who provide insights into the translation of policies into practice

Ex-Slave Narrative - William Hamilton
No full textA transcript of an Ex-Slave Narrative interview conducted by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration\u27s Federal Writers\u27 Project in the 1930s with William Hamilton. Hamilton was born in about 1860 on the Missouri plantation of William Hamilton. Near the end of the Civil War, Hamilton (then a young child) was left with Alex Buford in Tarrant County, Texas, who agreed to watch over him until William Hamilton, a slave trader, returned for him. The bulk of Hamilton\u27s interview pertains to stories about the Ku Klux Klan\u27s methods and reign of terror over emancipated African Americans in Tarrant County.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_workprojectsadministration/1103/thumbnail.jp
Ex-Slave Narrative - William Hamilton
No full textA transcript of an Ex-Slave Narrative interview conducted by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration\u27s Federal Writers Project in the 1930s with William Hamilton. Hamilton was born to William Hamilton, a traveling trader, and was left with Alex Buford at Village Creek. Hamilton describes mostly what it was like living on the Buford Plantation and also recalls instances with the Klu Klux Klan. Hamilton gives detailed events about times the Klan came onto the plantation and even speaks about marriage.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_workprojectsadministration/1125/thumbnail.jp
Alexander Hamilton: The Unloved and Forgotten Founding Father
No full textAs Americans, we tend to place a high importance on our Founding Fathers. There are streets, schools, monuments, cities, money and more all bearing the name or image of Founding Fathers. In looking at these it becomes apparent that history has not treated all of the Founding Fathers kindly, or equally. Alexander Hamilton, who was undeniably vital to the country?s formation, has become forgotten and actually viewed unfavorably. This negative perception that people have of Alexander Hamilton has been somewhat written about, but among scholars no one has been able to pinpoint its origin. The goal of this paper is to analyze the theories that have been previously written, combined with letters from Hamilton and his peers, in an attempt to come to a conclusion regarding Hamilton's perhaps unfounded bad reputation. Based on this method, a new theory has been found by looking at the previous theories in a new way: as a whole. Alexander Hamilton has come to be regarded with a negative reputation because of his disagreements with Thomas Jefferson, his own personality flaws, combined with Americans tendency to push him away because he reminds us of facts we would rather not remember. Hamilton was also an easy target for those seeking to attack him. This uneven memory of the Founding Fathers is changing though, with new and more truthful biographies about the individuals being published
A System of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations Characterizing Geodesic Centroidal Tessellations
No full textWe introduce a class of systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations characterizing geodesic centroidal tessellations, i.e., tessellations of domains with respect to geodesic distances where generators and centroids coincide. Typical examples are given by geodesic centroidal Voronoi tessellations and geodesic centroidal power diagrams. An appropriate version of the Fast Marching method on unstructured grids allows computing the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi system and, therefore, the associated tessellations. We propose various numerical examples to illustrate the features of the technique
