Flushingcreek
Flushing Creek has a long history dating back to when it was first chartered as a Dutch colony in 1645. In the late 19th century, it was home to several nurseries and companies. However, by the 1920s the marshland around the creek had been transformed into an ash dump. Robert Moses later developed the area to host the 1939 World's Fair. Presently, the creek's water remains stagnant but restoration efforts have aimed to improve water quality and reconnect surrounding parks and waterways. Future plans envision further daylighting the Flushing River and enhancing recreational access.
A short history of Great Britain
Celtic people settled in Britain around 700 BC and had women leaders such as Boadicea who fought against the Romans. The Romans occupied most of England and Wales by AD 43 and built Hadrian's Wall along the Scottish border. When the Romans left, the Angles and Saxons attacked Britain and the Celts fled to Wales, Scotland, and Cornwall. In 793, the Vikings attacked the monastery on Lindisfarne, killing the monks and stealing gold and silver. The Vikings then remained in Britain for almost 300 years as they sought new farmland and often raided other peoples for valuable goods. They were skilled sailors who decorated their longships with dragon heads.

The end of the slave trade
By the 18th century, Britain had become the largest exporter of African slaves. However, Britain would be the first major European country to outlaw the slave trade in 1807. There were both social and economic reasons for Britain's change. Socially, reform movements challenged slavery. Economically, slavery became less profitable as sugar production costs decreased in other colonies and the price of slaves increased. Britain also began to industrialize and favor wage labor over slave labor in factories.

Racism against the chinese on the australian goldfields
The discovery of gold in Australia in 1851 led to rapid population growth as gold rushes attracted many miners, including thousands of Chinese immigrants who made up about 3% of the population by 1861. However, their numbers alarmed officials and anti-Chinese sentiment grew due to fears of competition and beliefs in racial purity. This led Australian colonies to impose poll taxes on Chinese immigrants of £10, twice the weekly wage of skilled workers, and later restrictions on Chinese immigration and movement between colonies in an effort to limit Chinese population growth.

It describes the various waves of immigration and reasons immigrants left their home countries, including famine in Ireland and economic opportunities in the US. The largest groups of immigrants came from Northern and Western Europe in the first half of the 1800s, and Eastern and Southern Europe between 1890-1914. Immigrants faced challenges integrating and some laws were passed to restrict immigration.
Immigration records
This document discusses the history of immigration to the United States and provides resources for tracing ancestry. It notes that between 1607 and present, 35 to 50 million people have immigrated to the US, most entering through major ports that may have records. A few key online databases are mentioned that contain immigration records, such as records from 1846-1851 of over 600,000 immigrants arriving at the Port of New York, and Castle Garden's database of 10 million immigrants from 1830 to 1892. Ellis Island also has a searchable database of 22.5 million arrivals from 1892 to 1924. The document encourages exploring these resources to find information on ancestry.

The Opening New World
- Marco Polo's account of his travels to China in the 1300s stimulated new east-west trade routes between Europe and Asia. This, along with advances in printing technology, helped spread new ideas.
- Europeans like Columbus began exploring west across the Atlantic in search of new trade routes to Asia in the late 1400s. Columbus made four voyages but did not realize he had discovered a new continent. Others later took credit for this discovery, with mapmakers naming the new lands "America" after Amerigo Vespucci.
- European powers like Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands established colonies in North America during the 1500s-1700s for economic and religious reasons. The early colonies struggled but
History of Australia
European explorers first reached Australia in the 17th and 18th centuries, with Captain Cook claiming eastern Australia for Britain in 1770. Due to overcrowding and harsh punishments in Britain, the first convicts were transported to Australia beginning in 1787. The first colonists established themselves at Port Jackson in 1788, founding Sydney. Throughout the 19th century, more settlers and convicts arrived as Australia became a British colony, with the six colonies federating to form the nation of Australia in 1901.

Figure 4.1 Isaac Royall and his family, seen here in a 1741 portrait by Robert Feke, moved to Medford, Massachusetts, from the West Indian island of Antigua, bringing their slaves with them. They were an affluent British colonial family, proud of their success and the success of the British Empire. Chapter Outline 4.1 Charles II and the Restoration Colonies 4.2 The Glorious Revolution and the English Empire 4.3 An Empire of Slavery and the Consumer Revolution 4.4 Great Awakening and Enlightenment 4.5 Wars for Empire Introduction The eighteenth century witnessed the birth of Great Britain (after the union of England and Scotland in 1707) and the expansion of the British Empire. By the mid-1700s, Great Britain had developed into a commercial and military powerhouse; its economic sway ranged from India, where the British East India Company had gained control over both trade and territory, to the West African coast, where British slave traders predominated, and to the British West Indies, whose lucrative sugar plantations, especially in Barbados and Jamaica, provided windfall profits for British planters. Meanwhile, the population rose dramatically in Britain’s North American colonies. In the early 1700s the population in the colonies had reached 250,000. By 1750, however, over a million British migrants and African slaves had established a near-continuous zone of settlement on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Georgia. During this period, the ties between Great Britain and the American colonies only grew stronger. AngloAmerican colonists considered themselves part of the British Empire in all ways: politically, militarily, religiously (as Protestants), intellectually, and racially. The portrait of the Royall family (Figure 4.1) exemplifies the colonial American gentry of the eighteenth century. Successful and well-to-do, they display fashions, hairstyles, and furnishings that all speak to their identity as proud and loyal British subjects.

English presentation
The document provides a summary of the history of Australia. It details that Australia was first inhabited over 40,000 years ago by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Europeans first sighted Australia in 1606 and Captain Cook further explored the eastern coast in 1770, eventually leading to the establishment of a British penal colony at Sydney Cove in 1788. Over subsequent decades Britain claimed and established six self-governing colonies across Australia that were initially used for penal transportation but later became free settlements.

Is english changing?
The document discusses how the English language is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its speakers. It changes gradually over time through influences like new technologies, immigration, colonization, and mistakes. Old English was transformed by the Danish invasion in the 9th century and then again by the Norman conquest in the 11th century when French became the dominant language. Over subsequent centuries, English regained prominence while absorbing vocabulary from Latin, French and other languages. The language became more simplified as it lost complex inflectional endings. The Great Vowel Shift in the 15th-17th centuries also significantly changed English pronunciation patterns.

Here are a few suggestions for Keith to help resolve his dilemma:
1. Ask his cousin in Australia for as many details as possible about the Nortons who contacted them - full names, approximate ages, locations they/ancestors lived. Every detail could provide a clue.
2. Search records like censuses, BMD indexes, passenger lists for matches between the Norton family in Australia and Keith's known relatives. Look for shared names/locations that indicate a connection.
3. Contact the Norton family directly to exchange family tree information and try to find the point where the trees connect. Collaborating directly often yields the best results.
4. Consider DNA testing if paper trails don't provide conclusive answers.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
