@BryanHochNo Major League franchise boasts a richer and more storied history than the Yankees. Appropriately, the 21 numbers that have been removed from circulation to honor 22 of their finest players and managers stand as the most in Major League Baseball.
Lou Gehrig's No. 4 was the first retired number in Major League history, shelved on Jan. 6, 1940, via an announcement from team president Ed Barrow. Some 77 years later, Derek Jeter's No. 2 became the last of the Bombers' single digits to disappear from use.
Displayed in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium, the retired numbers represent a "who's who?" of sports history, belonging to the greatest of the great. Hall of Famers mingle with fan favorites across different eras, all of whom helped the Yankees' brand become synonymous with success.

The largest US pension funds have retained potentially toxic Russian assets worth $1.5 billion. Their portfolios include OFZs and securities of state companies under sectoral sanctions

California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the largest US pension fund serving almost 2 million current and future pensioners, holds potentially toxic Russian securities (shares of sanctioned companies, government bonds) for more than $1.
1 billion, the fund disclosed in response to RBC request. The request was sent after a Bloomberg publication, which noted that the tightening of anti-Russian sanctions rhetoric does not prevent CalPERS from keeping part of the pension savings of California firefighters and police officers in Russian government securities. nine0003
As of June 30, 2018 (last reporting date), CalPERS held Russian government bonds with a market value of $460.7 million, up from $479 million a year earlier. Of CalPERS' holdings of Russian government bonds, $430 mln came from OFZs and slightly more than $30 mln from Eurobonds.

The possibility of sanctions against the Russian public debt was discussed in 2017, when the CAATSA law signed by Donald Trump required the US Treasury to study the possible consequences of such sanctions. Although the US Treasury has actually spoken out against restrictions on Russian public debt, congressmen continue to consider several bills containing such sanctions.
One of them, the “Act to Protect American Security from Kremlin Aggression” (DASKAA), in August 2018 led to the collapse of the ruble and the exit of foreigners from OFZs to a minimum since the end of 2016 (26.6% of the market, according to the Bank of Russia by 1 September). nine0003

It is not known if CalPERS sold Russian paper after June 30th. The Foundation did not provide more recent data.
In addition to Russian government debt, CalPERS holds shares in Russian companies under US sanctions. As of June 30, the fund owned Russian shares (mainly in the form of depositary receipts) for $872 million, of which $658 million were shares of companies from the list of sectoral sanctions (financial and energy), RBC calculated. CalPERS owns securities of sanctioned Russian companies Gazprom, LUKOIL, NOVATEK, Rosneft, Sberbank, VTB and Surgutneftegaz. In particular, the CalPERS portfolio includes shares and ADRs of Sberbank for $238 million and GDRs of VTB Bank for $12.
5 million.
Sectoral sanctions do not prohibit US investors from trading previously issued shares of Sberbank and VTB. But the DASKAA bill contains a proposal to freeze the assets of Russian state-owned banks (Sberbank, VTB, Gazprombank, Rosselkhozbank, the state corporation VEB and Promsvyazbank) in US jurisdiction, to isolate them from dollar settlements.
The volume of CalPERS's Russian investments hardly changes from year to year: in 2012 it was about $1.4 billion against $1.3 billion now.
On September 12, at a Senate hearing, Duleep Singh, a former US Treasury official, said that he considered it inappropriate for US pension funds to invest in Russian government debt. “I can’t think of a single worthy argument why US government pension funds or savings organizations should indirectly finance the Russian government, while the latter continues to support violations of American sovereignty,” Singh said at the time. And the former sanctions policy coordinator at the US State Department, Daniel Fried, said in September that the pension funds of Americans should not be connected in any way with Russian companies from the sanctions lists.
Of the five largest pension funds in the United States, only one is private, the rest are structures of state and city administrations. nine0003
RBC could not be found among other major US pension funds (except for CalPERS) holding Russian government securities. Shares of sanctioned companies are also in portfolios, for example, the second largest pension fund in America, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), which represents the interests of teachers, and the Florida Pension Fund (Florida Retirement System). Thus, in the Russian portfolio of CalSTRS, the largest asset is LUKOIL (shares for $161 million and bonds for $2.5 million). However, these data are given in the public statements of the fund at the end of 2017 - the fund did not respond to RBC's request. nine0003
The Florida fund, the fourth largest in the country, holds $354 million worth of Russian securities as of June 30, 2018, follows from data provided by the fund to RBC.
Including - shares of sanctioned companies (NOVATEK, Rosneft, Sberbank, VTB, Gazprom Neft, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Surgutneftegaz, Transneft) for $173.3 million. York (NYSCRF), the third largest in the country, owns $82.7 million worth of Russian shares, according to the fund's report. Securities of sanctioned companies account for $59.3 million of this amount. Calpers manages $340.3 billion in assets, CalSTRS $230.2 billion, New York fund NYCRF $218.5 billion, Florida fund $164.7 billion, New York fund NYCER $64.8 billion
Overall, half of the ten largest foreign holders of Russian OFZs - institutional investors - are US funds, according to Bloomberg. The largest is BlackRock - the investment company owns $2.53 billion worth of Russian bonds. Also among them are Stone Harbor, Goldman Sachs, Legg Mason asset management company. The exact share of American investments in Russian public debt is unknown. nine0003
The Russian authorities have developed measures to protect against possible sanctions against the Russian public debt, said First Deputy Prime Minister Anton Siluanov.
“We will focus on domestic investors, we will use ruble borrowings, we will further develop the financial market, we will use the remaining liquidity of the treasury that we have today and which, in principle, will allow us to finance our deficit in the next and subsequent years,” Siluanov explained. “It is difficult to make assumptions about whether there will be sanctions or not,” it depends, among other things, on the outcome of the upcoming US congressional elections, Siluanov told reporters on October 18. “The main thing for us is to pursue our policy in order to minimize risks,” he stressed. “New sanctions will be introduced every month or two, roughly as they are now,” U.S. Special Representative in Ukraine Kurt Volker promised on the same day, speaking at a conference organized by the Atlantic Council. nine0003
The New York subway system covers almost all areas or "boroughs" of the city: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan - with the exception of Staten Island, which has a separate rail line.

Some tunnels pass under the Hudson River - they were built at the beginning of the 20th century using cast iron lining. The total length of the PATH system is 22.2 km, it consists of 13 stations and carries about 262,300 passengers per day. nine0003

The New York City Subway is one of the oldest subway systems in the world, opened on October 27, 1904. At that time, the city was in dire need of solving transportation problems that arose in the 19th century, when a huge number of immigrants from Europe poured into the United States after the Civil War. Approximately from 1790 to 1860. The population of the city increased from 33 to 123 thousand people. New York was becoming an industrial and economic center, the streets were growing rapidly, along which it became increasingly difficult to move due to the large traffic congestion.
The city authorities tried to solve the transport problem by building "ground" and "overground" railway lines. nine0003
In 1868, an overhead rail line designed by C. Harvey appeared, a few years later a huge network of overground rail lines was located over Manhattan and Brooklyn, four rail lines were built on the Coney Island peninsula. But as practice has shown, "ground" and "overground" lines could not cope with the traffic. There was an obvious need for a subway that would free up the streets of overcrowded New York and unload the railroads of the elevated overpasses. nine0003

Preceded by the opening of the first underground subway line in New York, the pneumatic railway project, the author of which Alfred Beech proposed to transport people through a tunnel resembling a "wooden pipe" in a car similar to a tube . Alfred Beech's company had previously worked on a pneumatic bellow project and was therefore able to work at shallow depths.
As a result, for 350 thousand dollars in New York appeared 95-meter pneumatic tunnel with a car designed to carry 22 passengers.

The project delighted New Yorkers, who could ride from a station at the intersection of Broadway and Warren Street to a dead end and back - a distance of about 1 block. A week later, the number of trips reached 11,000, and a year later, more than 400,000 people, including high-ranking officials, rode the pneumo-metro. nine0003

The success of the project required development, but in 1873 there was an economic crisis, and later the city authorities switched to the idea of building overland railway lines. The first and last pneumatic metro station was located in the basement of the building and burned down in a fire in 1898.
As for the New York subway in the usual sense, the first project for its construction in New York was approved in 1898 year, it was developed by the outstanding engineer William Barclay Parsons.
He recommended electrifying the subway, abandoning coal-fired locomotives. Not only was this source of energy cleaner, it was also calculated to be cheaper.
During the geological survey of Manhattan, it was found that monolithic rocks occur at a depth of 4.5 - 6 meters, and in some areas even very close to the surface. Tunneling through the monolithic rock was very expensive and slow, so Parsons made the bold decision to tunnel at a shallow depth under the city streets. This meant that in places where the topography of the surface is very sloping, the railway would have to be laid above the ground in viaducts raised on supports. At that time, metro construction technologies were far from modern and the metro had to be built literally “manually”, because of this there were many accidents, accidents and tunnel collapses. nine0003
P New York's first subway station - CityHall
In total, the first subway line in New York was built in 4 years. An English expert who was present at the opening of the metro noted that this was "one of the greatest achievements of engineering in the century.
" The architectural design of the first line of the New York subway, laid from CityHall station to 145th street through Manhattan, was similar to the Budapest subway. The first CityHall station was the most beautiful, but at 19It was closed in 1945, and now it does not function, since the station has short platforms and a small turning radius, which does not meet modern standards.
The first line was built by Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT), but as the subway system expanded further, competition arose from the already existing giant Brooklyn Rapid Transport (BRT), which owns ground transportation in Brooklyn. In 1913, the administration of New York entered into a double contract to continue building the subway between the IRT and BRT, but the companies significantly increased their capital at the expense of the treasury, which did not suit the city's municipality, so an independent state company Independent Subway System (IND) appeared in New York. ), responsible for the construction and operation of the subway.

In 1940, IRT, BRT, IND merged into a single company along with the lines they owned. IRT used narrow cars and platforms that did not fit the standards of other companies, so the former IRT routes 1 to 9 do not intersect with others, and are indicated by numbers on the New York subway map, while BRT and IND have a letter designation.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has been operating in New York City since 1953 and oversees the construction and operation of the subway today. At 19In 1956, the Transportation Authority purchased a section of the railroad on Long Island, and within three years a new subway route was built, which is now marked on the map with the letter "A". The construction of the subway in New York was mainly carried out in an open way, only the latest work on the construction of new tunnels was carried out using closed technologies.
In 2014, the New York subway turned 110 years old, after many years of operation, many stations and tunnels require reconstruction and restoration work.
In terms of architectural design, the New York "subway" is inferior in beauty to the subways built in the USSR. Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Kozlov at the American National Exhibition in Moscow (1959) described the IRT, BMT and IND lines as "disgusting" and complained that "the metro is dirty and there is simply nothing to breathe."
The thing is that the approach to the construction of the New York subway was different from the Soviet one, it was initially purely utilitarian. There are no underground palaces in New York, and many New York subway stations look shabby from old age. But by 2014, about 100 New York subway stations had been renovated, with ramps and lifts for people with disabilities installed. nine0003
Drainage system problems remain - in 1992 about $357 million was allocated to replace pumps, but the transit system still works intermittently, and in heavy rain water can even get into subway cars.
When Hurricane Sandy approached New York in October 2012, the subway was closed in the city, 7 lines were flooded, and until 2013 the Department of Transportation eliminated its consequences.
In general, the pace of construction of the New York subway was low, for a long time there were practically no works on the construction of new stations or lines. Only at 1988-1989 6 stations were built. In 2001, construction was completed on a tunnel run connecting 21st/Queensbridge station to a line running under Queens Boulevard.
Most of the underground New York subway tunnels pass under Manhattan and they are shallow, the deepest tunnel runs under the East River, and in other areas the lines are located on flyovers. The elevated sections built in the Brooklyn and Bronx areas became part of the modern New York subway system. In total, about 153 New York subway stations are located on overpasses and 38 stations are ground, 277 are located underground. The deepest station is 191st Street is located at a depth of 55 meters.

A distinctive feature of the New York City Subway is that trains are organized according to routes, each route can pass through one or more subway lines. In addition, trains are divided into local and express, local trains travel with all stops, respectively, the express stops at several stations, so there are 3-4 tracks on one line. Also in Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn, “creak-stop” routes are organized, that is, a pair of trains during rush hour travel along the same route, but stop alternately at each station. nine0003
New York subway standard gauge: 1435 mm, 625 watt conductor rail. On average, the length of the platform in the New York subway is from 150 to 180 meters. The New York subway operates around the clock and rightfully deserves the title of the largest - not only in the number of stations, but also in the number of subway cars. In total, in 2014, the number of cars in the New York "subway" was 6400 units, their maximum number in the train was 11.

The New York City Transportation Authority (MTA) is currently implementing a number of ambitious projects. The largest project is the construction of the East Side Access line, which will connect the New York City subway with the railroad, as a result of which the Long Island train will connect to Grand Central Station in New York, and from Manhattan the subway will connect to the Airport John Kennedy. In total, $ 8.4 billion was allocated for this project, MTA plans to complete it by August 2019of the year. Another project that is being prepared for implementation is the construction of Second Avenue.
The project was approved in 1929, but it was not implemented for economic reasons, only in 1975 the construction of the line began, but the work was also suspended. Starting from 2007, work on the construction of the line was resumed again. The first launch section of Second Avenue will consist of 3 stations.
