While some level of off-contract spending is inevitable, procurement administrators generally make it their mission to keep a lid on this leakage. They establish checks to ensure that if a city has a contract for office supplies, city employees buy, say, printer paper through that contract and not through another vendor, such as Amazon. The aim is to protect public dollars by ensuring that most spending happens through competitively bid contracts that provide the best available pricing and service.

The headwaters of the Apurmac River on Nevado Mismi had been considered for nearly a century the Amazon basin's most distant source until a 2014 study found it to be the headwaters of the Mantaro River on the Cordillera Rumi Cruz in Peru.[21] The Mantaro and Apurmac rivers join, and with other tributaries form the Ucayali River, which in turn meets the Maran River upstream of Iquitos, Peru, forming what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the Amazon. Brazilians call this section the Solimes River above its confluence with the Rio Negro[22] forming what Brazilians call the Amazon at the Meeting of Waters (Portuguese: Encontro das guas) at Manaus, the largest city on the river.

Gonzalo Pizarro set off in 1541 to explore east of Quito into the South American interior in search of El Dorado, the "city of gold" and La Canela, the "valley of cinnamon".[39] He was accompanied by his second-in-command Francisco de Orellana. After 170 km (106 mi), the Coca River joined the Napo River (at a point now known as Puerto Francisco de Orellana); the party stopped for a few weeks to build a boat just upriver from this confluence. They continued downriver through an uninhabited area, where they could not find food. Orellana offered and was ordered to follow the Napo River, then known as Ro de la Canela ("Cinnamon River"), and return with food for the party. Based on intelligence received from a captive native chief named Delicola, they expected to find food within a few days downriver by ascending another river to the north.

The population of the Brazilian portion of the Amazon basin in 1850 was perhaps 300,000, of whom about 175,000 were Europeans and 25,000 were slaves. The Brazilian Amazon's principal commercial city, Par (now Belm), had from 10,000 to 12,000 inhabitants, including slaves. The town of Manos, now Manaus, at the mouth of the Rio Negro, had a population between 1,000 and 1,500. All the remaining villages, as far up as Tabatinga, on the Brazilian frontier of Peru, were relatively small.[44]

At first, navigation was principally confined to the main river; and even in 1857 a modification of the government contract only obliged the company to a monthly service between Par and Manaus, with steamers of 200 tons cargo capacity, a second line to make six round voyages a year between Manaus and Tabatinga, and a third, two trips a month between Par and Camet.[44] This was the first step in opening up the vast interior.

Thanks in part to the mercantile development associated with steamboat navigation coupled with the internationally driven demand for natural rubber, the Peruvian city of Iquitos became a thriving, cosmopolitan center of commerce. Foreign companies settled in Iquitos, from where they controlled the extraction of rubber. In 1851 Iquitos had a population of 200, and by 1900 its population reached 20,000. In the 1860s, approximately 3,000 tons of rubber were being exported annually, and by 1911 annual exports had grown to 44,000 tons, representing 9.3% of Peru's exports.[46] During the rubber boom it is estimated that diseases brought by immigrants, such as typhus and malaria, killed 40,000 native Amazonians.[47]

With a population of 1.9 million people in 2014, Manaus is the largest city on the Amazon. Manaus alone makes up approximately 50% of the population of the largest Brazilian state of Amazonas. The racial makeup of the city is 64% pardo (mulatto and mestizo) and 32% white.[51]

Only about 10% of the Amazon's water enters downstream of bidos, very little of which is from the northern slope of the valley. The drainage area of the Amazon basin above bidos city is about 5,000,000 km2 (1,900,000 sq mi), and, below, only about 1,000,000 km2 (390,000 sq mi) (around 20%), exclusive of the 1,400,000 km2 (540,000 sq mi) of the Tocantins basin.[44] The Tocantins River enters the southern portion of the Amazon delta.

Belm is the major city and port at the mouth of the river at the Atlantic Ocean. The definition of where exactly the mouth of the Amazon is located, and how wide it is, is a matter of dispute, because of the area's peculiar geography. The Par and the Amazon are connected by a series of river channels called furos near the town of Breves; between them lies Maraj, the world's largest combined river/sea island.

Cuomo and other supporters of the project said that Amazon would have brought more than enough investment to the city to justify the tax breaks, and would have established New York as a tech hub to rival other hubs like San Francisco.

In addition to setting a traffic percentage, you can also set a maximum limit for the number of city-networks monitored. This section describes how the city-networks limit can help you manage billing costs, and provides information and an example to help you determine a limit to set.

The maximum limit that you set for the number of city-networks helps to make sure that your bill is predictable. For more information, see Amazon CloudWatch Pricing. You can also learn how different values for the number of city-networks actually monitored can affect your bill by using the CloudWatch price calculator.To explore options, on the Pricing calculator for CloudWatch page,scroll down to Internet Monitor.

Setting a maximum limit for the number of city-networks monitored can help prevent unexpectedcosts in your bill. This is useful, for example, if your traffic patterns vary widely. Billing costs increase for each city-network that is monitoredafter the first 100 city-networks, which are included (across all monitors per account). If you set a city-networks maximum limit, it caps the number ofcity-networks that Internet Monitor monitors for your application, regardless of the percentage of traffic that you choose to monitor.

You only pay for the number of city-networks that are actually monitored. The city-network maximum limit that you choose lets you set a cap on the total that can be included when Internet Monitor monitors traffic with your monitor. You can change the maximum limit at any time by editing your monitor.

To help you decide on a city-networks maximum limit to select, consider how much traffic you wantto monitor for your application. The following Internet Monitor metrics can help you analyze your traffic usage and coverage after you create your monitor: CityNetworksMonitored, TrafficMonitoredPercent, and oneor more of the CityNetworksForNNPercentTraffic metrics, where NNis a percentage value that is one of the following: 25, 50, 90, 95, 99, or 100. To review definitions for these metrics, and all other Internet Monitor metrics, seeUsing CloudWatch Metrics with Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor.

To see an overview graph of your internet traffic coverage, go to the Traffic insights tab on the CloudWatch dashboard and, in the Internet traffic graphs section, choose an option for Compare options for traffic coverage. The graph shown in the section displays the actual number of city-networks that are monitored for your application, as well as graph lines for different application traffic percentages that you select in the drop-down list. To learn more, see Setting your application traffic percentage.

To explore your options in more detail, you can use the Internet Monitor metrics, as described in the following examples. These examples show how to select a maximum city-networks limit that is best for you, depending on the breadth of application internet traffic coverage you want. Using the queries for Internet Monitor metrics in CloudWatch Metrics can help you understand more about your application internet traffic coverage.

As an example, say that you've set a monitoring maximum limit of 100 city-networks and that your application is accessed by clients across 2637city-networks. In CloudWatch Metrics, you'd see the following Internet Monitor metrics returned:

From this example, you can see that you're currently monitoring 12.5% of your internet traffic, with the maximum limit set to 100 city-networks.If you want to monitor 90% of your traffic, the next metric provides information about that: CityNetworksFor90PercentTraffic indicates that you would need to monitor 2,143 city-networks for 90% coverage. To do that, you would update your monitor andset the maximum city-networks limit to 2,143.

Similarly, say you'd like to have 100% internet traffic monitoring for your application. The next metric,CityNetworksFor100PercentTraffic, indicates that to do this, you should update your monitor to set the maximum city-networks limit to2,637.

After a dramatic competition that pitted US cities against one another, years of contested planning, and claims of unwavering commitment despite the pandemic, Amazon now says its plan for a second headquarters, aka HQ2, is on pause. The company said today that it will delay construction of more than half of the millions of square feet of space in a campus planned for Arlington, Virginia, including a twisting tower meant to become a signature landmark for the city. be457b7860
