Faces Of Monmouth
Dmitri Kosenkov

Meet Dmitri
Walt Whitman wrote: "A blade of grass is the journeywork of the stars," but to Monmouth University Assistant Professor of Chemistry Dmitri Kosenkov, it is the leaf that is an efficient masterpiece of chemistry and biology. Much of Kosenkov's research seeks to apply photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight to chemical energy, to clean energy technology, creating a more efficient solar cell.
"So far, our technology has not been efficient, but plants do it very efficiently," Kosenkov said. "We're trying to discover the secret inside of plants."
Kosenkov came to Monmouth in 2012 after completing his postdoctoral training at Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Jackson State University, after earning his master's and bachelor of science degrees from the Taras Schevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine.
Kosenkov's goal is to create opportunities for students to explore nature through scientific research, to deal with the complexity of natural phenomena, and to take actions for the benefit of society.
He teaches general, physical, and computational chemistry courses. Kosenkov has revised Monmouth's physical and computational chemistry curricula to reflect current trends in the field, and under his supervision, the physical chemistry laboratory is being continuously updated. Recently, time-resolved ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and laser-induced fluorescence experiments have been added to the physical chemistry laboratory curriculum.
"The transition from Monmouth to graduate school or professional chemistry is smooth because our students receive direct guidance," Kosenkov said. "In our labs, the students learn to use the tools they will use throughout their careers as chemists. We take that further as a faculty because we care about their success."
Kosenkov's group applies computational quantum chemistry in order to understand the fundamental laws that govern chemistry in living organisms. Due to the complexity of biological molecules, the studied application of quantum mechanical methods is challenging and requires significant computational resources. Kosenkov's current research projects also include:
Modeling the DNA binding of small organic molecules to inhibit cancer cell growth
Modeling light-sensitive organic molecules and proteins for noninvasive control of neurons
Speeding up computational chemistry using graphics processing units (GPUs)
Kosenkov believes that participation in research projects in a laboratory helps Monmouth students strengthen their academic, professional, and social skills. He advocates involving students in scientific research early on in their college careers.
"I want to give students the opportunity to think like scientists," Kosenkov said. "I want them to form an image of the world based on scientific evidence."
Collaborations that I've been involved with
Kosenkov collaborates with Monmouth's chemistry students within the laboratory, and with other academic and professional chemists outside of the University. Students' formal education in chemistry is complemented by their participation in laboratory research.
"We provide them with their formal training, but, in addition, students learn outside the classroom," Kosenkov said. "I run my research group in a similar way to how it is done in a professional setting. They learn chemistry by working as chemists, and then they present their findings to a broader audience, be it their fellow students, the community, or other scientists. That way, they learn better the role of chemistry in the real world.
"We are actively collaborating with research groups in organic and inorganic chemistry within our department, and with colleagues at Purdue University, University of Southern California, and other schools. Our group members have presented their results at numerous research conferences, including those held by the American Chemical Society (ACS), Saint Joseph's University, the Independent College Fund of New Jersey (ICFNJ), and Bucknell University.
"With support from the School of Science, our students participate in various summer internship programs at Monmouth and other institutions, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the City University of New York, and the University of California, Los Angeles."
Why I'm proud of Monmouth
"Monmouth is a small, private, independent school," Kosenkov said. "We work in small groups on campus, and students work personally with their professors. There are opportunities for a lot of interactions, and I am available to all of my students almost all of the time. That means I can design research programs specifically for each student, and follow them as they progress."
In addition to taking part in prestigious summer research programs and participating in local, national, and international conferences, Kosenkov's students have also won research grants and awards for their work.
"I am proud of my students' achievements and successes," Kosenkov said. "My group members have been awarded numerous prizes and awards including the Dean's Award of Excellence in Undergraduate Research, ICFNJ Awards, ACS Awards in Physical and Organic Chemistry, and an award for the presentation at the international conference on Current Trends in Computational Chemistry.
"After graduation, our students succeed when continuing their education at top graduate schools, which include Purdue, Penn State, University of California-Irvine, and Rowan Medical School."
My favorite Monmouth memory
"Back in 2012, when I started to build a computational chemistry research laboratory at Monmouth, I felt so much encouragement and support from my fellow colleagues and students," Kosenkov said. "Together with my first research students Gary Prato, Samantha Silvent, Erik Braunstein, Omkaran Menon, and Kevin Wioland, we set up a computer cluster, organized weekly group meetings, and prepared our first presentations and research papers. It was a very exciting and inspiring experience."

Your behaviors and habits flow from your identity. So, who are you? Or, whose are you?
Theology matters. Beliefs have consequences. What we think about who we are before God has implications for how we live.
There is a school of thought in mental health called cognitive therapy. In short, it says our beliefs drive our mood and actions. There is more to mental health than this, but this concept has huge implications for Christians and the church. All the emotions we feel—anger, joy, guilt, shame, sadness, fear—can at times be traced back to our beliefs about ourselves and/or God. Think about how the following beliefs about God and yourself can affect how you feel and what you do.
Do you think God tolerates you because you stumbled into his family, or did he choose you because he delights in you?
Do you think you are responsible for your sanctification? Or do you think that God, through the Holy Spirit, is?
Does your belief about the effect of your sin on your relationship with God determine whether you approach or avoid him after you sin?
Summitview is in the middle of a sermon series on the life of David. Much of the series has looked at the contrasts between David and Saul. Saul did not know who he was before God; David did. Saul's insecurity originally kept him from accepting the position God gave him. This insecurity, and his need for the people's approval, led to him to attempting to kill David, killing multiple priests, making an unlawful sacrifice and even consulting a medium in violation of God's law.
Compare this with David. Even though he was anointed king, he never attempted to kill Saul himself. When David took the throne, he was kind to Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson. Even when Shimei cursed him, he did not allow his men to retaliate but said the Lord told Shimei to do that. Even when David sinned, he would repent and turn back to God and repeatedly wrote of his goodness.
We need to know who we are. We are all looking for identity, and when we don't know who we are, we look to someone or something to tell us who we are. We look for our identity in sports teams, political parties, our jobs, our spouses, our children, our Hogwarts houses. We allow ourselves to be defined by our struggles, addictions and shortcomings. Sometimes, we let our past define who we are, whether that be sins we committed or sins committed against us.
This is why social media can be so problematic. We look for our identity in the likes and responses to our posts. We feel valuable and validated by the retweets and feel like we don't matter when our posts are not responded to. The issues surrounding cyberbullying can make these problems even more pronounced.
None of these things have the right to define us. God created us and he gets to say who we are. The Bible is full of versus telling us who we are as believers. Here are a few, with thanks to Bob Kelleman for compiling this list.
God wants us to know who we are and has told us plainly. David, the apostles and Jesus all knew who they were. Knowing who you are is freeing. Search it out, remind yourself and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Jorge Luis "Tubo" Fernández Pérez (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 8 de marzo de 1959) es un exfutbolista argentino. La mayor parte de su carrera la vivió en España. Fue un guardameta moderno en su época, que llegó a conquistar a la grada del Cádiz Club de Fútbol.

Trayectoria
Su primer equipo fue el Deportivo Español, un club fundado por los inmigrantes españoles que llegaron a Argentina y que en aquel entonces llegó a jugar en la Primera División de Argentina. También jugó en Vélez Sarsfield, donde coincidió con Alfio Basile como entrenador, en Ferrocarril Oeste y en Banfield. Fue internacional sub 20 con Argentina bajo las órdenes de César Luis Menotti y compartiendo vestuario con jugadores legendarios como Ramón Angel Díaz, Ricardo Alberto Gareca, Nestor Adrián Domenech,Juan Ernesto Simón, el Paton Edgardo Báuza, Alejandro Esteban Barberón, los hermanos Hugo Cesar y Abel Anibal Alves entre otros.

Después dio el salto a España. Su primer equipo fue el Real Murcia con el que jugó todos los encuentros. En aquella época era muy difícil jugar en España, porque los equipos sólo podían tener dos jugadores extranjeros. Su segundo equipo en la liga española fue la UE Lleida donde coincidió con Mané de entrenador y jugadores como Emilio Amavisca. Ese año el guardameta marcó siete goles de penalti en Liga y jugó todos los partidos (Liga y Copa del Rey)

A continuación firmó contrato por 3 años con el Cádiz CF donde se ganó la confianza de la afición gaditana parando 4 penaltis en la final del Trofeo Carranza ante el Palmeiras de Roberto Carlos, Mazinho y Edmundo. De ahí la invención de la mítica frase: ¡BIEN "TUBO" BIEN PISHAAA!

Finalizado el contrato con el Cádiz, iba a fichar por el Club Deportivo Badajoz, pero sufrió hepatitis, por lo que tuvo que estar un año en blanco. Si a esto le unes que ya tenía 35 años, pues ya no pudo volver al fútbol profesional. Jugó en equipos de la Región de Murcia, como el Águilas Club de Fútbol o el Cartagena Fútbol Club.

Robin van Persie (; n. 6 august 1983) este un fotbalist neerlandez retras din activitate, care a jucat pe postul de atacant la clubul Feyenoord, Arsenal, Manchester și Fenerbahçe și la naționala de fotbal a Țărilor de Jos. Provine de la echipa de tineret a clubului Feyenoord. A semnat cu Arsenal în 2004, devenind căpitanul echipei pe 16 august 2011 cu un an înainte de a se transfera la rivala Manchester United. Calitățile și stilul de joc i-au atras comparații cu legenda olandeză Marco van Basten. Pe 7 iunie 2013, Van Persie a fost numit căpitan al naționalei de fotbal a Olandei.

Fiul a doi artiști, Van Persie a fost încurajat să meargă pe urmele părinților săi, dar el a preferat în schimb fotbalul și s-a alăturat echipei de tineret a clubului SBV Excelsior. A debutat în fotbalul mare la un alt club, Feyenoord Rotterdam, unde a stat trei sezoane și a câștigat Cupa UEFA 2002. A fost numit Cel mai talentat fotbalist olandez al anului în sezonul 2001-2002. Neînțelegerile cu antrenorul Bert van Marwijk l-au determinat să schimbe echipa, iar Van Persie s-a transferat la Arsenal Londra în 2004 pentru 2.75 milioane de lire ca înlocuitor pe termen lung pentru Dennis Bergkamp. A câștigat FA Community Shield și FA Cup în primul sezon la clubul londonez, dar nu a mai câștigat nici un trofeu important în următorii opt ani petrecuți la Arsenal. Van Persie a fost numit Jucătorul Lunii în Premier League de trei ori. În 2012, Van Persie a fost clasat pe locul 7 într-un clasament realizat de The Guardian al Celor mai buni 100 de fotbaliști din lume.

Van Persie a fost internațional de tineret, reprezentând naționalele sub-17, sub-19 și sub-21. A debutat la naționala mare a Olandei în 2005 într-un meci amical jucat împotriva României. O lună mai târziu a marcat primul gol pentru echipa de seniori într-o victorie cu 4-0 împotriva Finlandei. Van Persie a fost selecționat de 78 de ori și a marcat de 41 de ori pentru Țările de Jos acest lucru transformându-l în cel mai bun marcator din istoria naționalei. A jucat la Campionatul Mondial de Fotbal 2006, Campionatul European de Fotbal 2008, Campionatul Mondial de Fotbal 2010 și la Campionatul European de Fotbal 2012 și la Campionatul Mondial de Fotbal 2014.

Tinerețe

Van Persie a crescut în Kraligen, în partea de est a orașului Rotterdam. Mama sa, José Ras era pictor, iar tatăl său, Bob, era sculptor. Are două surori, Lilly și Kiki. Robin a fost influențat de părinții lui să se implice în lumea artei, dar acesta a ales fotbalul.

Cariera la cluburi

Feyenoord

Van Persie a intrat în echipa de juniori a echipei olandeze SBV Excelsior, dar a renunțat din cauza unor conflicte cu antrenorii și a semnat cu Feyenoord. A fost promovat repede ca titular din cauza unor accidentări suferite de niște coechipieri ai săi. Și-a făcut debutul la vârsta de 17 ani, primind premiul KNVB pentru cel mai bun talent la juniori la sfârșitul sezonului 2001-2002.

A semnat un contract de 3 ani și jumătate cu Feyenoord la începutul sezonului următor și a înscris 5 goluri în meciul cu AGOVV pentru a câștiga Cupa Amstel pe data de 6 februarie 2003. Cu toate acestea, din cauza unui conflict cu managerul Bert van Marwijk, Van Persie a fost scos din prima echipă și pus ca rezervă. Van Marwijk a declarat reporterilor că "Comportamentul său a făcut imposibilă rămânerea lui în primul 11, așa că de acum va rămâne doar o rezervă". În timpul unui meci cu rezervele între Feyenoord și Ajax, van Persie a fost unul dintre jucătorii atacați de huliganii care au pătruns în teren.
Conflictul său cu antrenorul a continuat atunci când a fost trimis acasă de acesta chiar în ajunul finalei Supercupei UEFA din 2003, împotriva lui Real Madrid, după ce antrenorul s-a declarat nemulțumit de limbajul corpului folosit de Van Persie după ce a fost trimis la încălzire într-un meci din ligă. Van Persie și-a finalizat debutul în prima echipă cu 28 de meciuri și 8 goluri înscrise.

Feyenoord a încercat fără succes să extindă contractul cu Van Persie, relația sa cu antrenorul deteriorându-se din ce în ce mai mult. Din cauza acestui lucru, Van Persie a stat mai mult pe bancă în sezonul 2003-2004. A jucat din nou 28 de meciuri, dar a înscris doar 6 goluri. În timpul transferurilor din ianuarie, clubul Eredivisie a intrat în negocieri cu Arsenal, care căutau un înlocuitor pe termen lung pentru veteranul Dennis Bergkamp. Niciuna din tabere nu s-au putut înțelege la termen, iar 5 luni mai târziu, Arsenal îl cumpăra pe Van Persie pentru 2,75 milioane de lire sterline, puțin peste jumătatea sumei inițiale cerute de Feyenoord.

Arsenal

Pe data de 17 mai 2004, van Persie a semnat un contract pe 4 ani cu Arsenal. Managerul Arsène Wenger, care plănuia să îl facă pe Robin să joace în centru ca atacant și nu pe partea stângă, cum făcea el de obicei, așa cum a reușit să facă și cu starul său, Thierry Henry, a spus despre noua sa achiziție că "Poate juca pe partea stângă în mijlocul terenului, ca un jucător creativ în spatele atacanților principali". Arsenal a mai cumpărat un atacant în ianuarie, pe spaniolul José Antonio Reyes, lăsându-i pe cei doi să concureze în meciuri. Van Persie și-a făcut debutul și a câștigat un trofeu în același timp, când a fost introdus în meci ca rezervă împotriva lui Manchester United pentru titlul FA Community Shield, meci câștigat de Arsenal cu scorul de 3-1 pe data de 8 august 2004. Robin Van Persie a petrecut cel mai mult timp pe bancă în prima parte a sezonului 2004-2005 și și-a făcut debutul competitiv pe data de 27 octombrie, când a deschis scorul pentru Arsenal în meciul din cupa ligii cu Manchester City, câștigat de Arsenal cu scorul de 2-1. Cu toate acestea, a primit un cartonaș roșu pentru prima oară în uniforma lui Arsenal pe data de 26 februarie într-un meci terminat la egalitate 1-1 cu Southampton FC, după ce l-a faultat pe Graeme Le Saux, pentru care Wenger a fost văzut strigând obscenități lui van Persie de pe marginea terenului. Apoi, a declarat presei "Nu îl susțin pe van Persie astăzi, dar nu și-a pierdut controlul la pauză. Când arbitrul a eliminat un jucător pe teren propriu, acesta este sub presiune, deci dacă un jucător trebuie să se comporte într-un fel, ar trebui să o facă ca el.". Ca urmare, van Persie a fost ținut pe bancă mai mult timp, începând cu meciul din cupa ligii împotriva lui Sheffield United  și a fost reintrodus ca titular doar când Henry s-a accidentat, iar van Persie a înscris de două ori în semifinala cupei ligii împotriva celor de la Blackburn Rovers. Restul sezonului a fost marcat de accidentarea lui van Persie, terminându-l cu un total de 10 goluri în 41 de meciuri în toate competițiile.

Datorită faptului că forma lui fizică progresa, van Persie a primit premiul de jucătorul lunii noiembrie, 2005 după opt goluri în opt începuturi și a fost recompensat cu un contract extins pe cinci ani, până în 2011 pe data de 4 ianuarie. Cu toate acestea, la două zile de la semnarea contractului, van Persie s-a accidentat din nou, după ce un adversar l-a călcat pe picior și i-a fracturat degetul într-un meci împotriva clubului Cardiff. Van Persie a jucat următoarele trei meciuri cu o gaură în pantof pentru a atenua durerea până când s-a recuperat complet pentru meciul cu West Ham United pe data de 1 februarie. A fost rezervă în finala UEFA Champions League cu Barcelona, dar nu a fost introdus în teren.

Începutul sezonului 2006-2007 a fost marcat de un voleu aerian pe care Wenger l-a numit "un gol de o viață" și a fost numit apoi golul lunii septembrie de către BBC și a fost numit în 2006 sportivul anului în Rotterdam. Cu toate acestea, sezonul lui s-a terminat încă o dată devreme din cauza une accidentări la picior pe care a suferit-o în timp ce sărbătorea golul de egalare împotriva lui Manchester United. A finalizat sezonul cu 13 goluri.

După ce Henry s-a transferat la Barcelona, van Persie și-a asumat rolul de atacant principal al echipei. După șapte goluri în opt meciuri din ligă, van Persie a rămas pe marginea terenului din cauza unei accidentări la genunchi suferite la echipa națională. Și-a făcut revenirea în meciul din grupele Champions League împotriva clubului Steaua București pe data de 12 decembrie.

Van Pesie și-a început sezonul 2008-2009 pe data de 31 august în partida Arsenal - Newcastle United terminată cu scorul de 3 - 0. Pe data de 29 octombrie, van Persie a înscris golul cu numărul 50 al carierei sale la Arsenal în derby-ul cu Tottenham Hotspur, dar a primit primul cartonaș roșu al sezonului pe data de 1 noiembrie după ce l-a doborât pe portarul Thomas Sørensen cu umărul în partida cu Stoke City. Portarul a recunoscut că l-a provocat pe van Persie pentru a obține o reacție din partea sa. Pe data de 21 decembrie 2008, un gol pe care l-a înscris împotriva lui Liverpool i-a adus premiul de golul lunii acordat de BBC pentru a doua oară în cariera sa.
Datorită accidentării căpitanului Cesc Fabregas, iar portarul Manuel Almunia fiind lăsat să se odihnească, van Persie a devenit căpitanul echipei pentru prima oară pe data de 3 ianuarie 2009 în meciul împotriva celor de la Plymouth Argyle, în care van Persie a înscris două goluri, al treilea fiind un autogol dat din centrarea sa. În ianuarie 2009, van Persie a înscris sau a asistat decisiv la toate golurile lui Arsenal, ceea ce i-a adus titlul de jucător al lunii al clubului. Pe data de 24 februarie, van Persie a înscris dintr-un penalty decisiv în Champions League împotriva celor de la AS Roma, după ce a fost faultat de fundașul Philippe Mexès.
Acesta a fost cel mai bun sezon la Arsenal pentru van Persie, după ce a înscris 11 goluri în Premier League, precum și 11 pase decisive. În total, a înscris 20 de goluri în toate competițiile.

Manchester United

Pe 15 august 2012, Arsenal a anunțat că a ajuns la o înțelegere cu Manchester United pentru transferul său, dar jucătorul încă nu confirmase. Pe 17 august 2012, Van Persie s-a transferat la Manchester United pentru 30 de milioane de euro, semnând un contract pe patru ani.

Debutul său la noua echipă a avut loc pe 20 august,intrând din postura de rezervă în minutul 68,înlocuindu-l pe Danny Welbeck. Echipa sa a pierdut cu 2-0.
Cinci zile mai târziu,cu primul său șut pe poartă la noua sa echipă,a înscris primul său gol pentru Manchester United,primul gol al diavolilor din victoria cu 3-2 împotriva lui Fulham.

Pe 2 septembrie 2012, a înscris primul său hattrick într-o altă victorie cu 3-2 asupra lui Southampton de data aceasta,ajutând-o pe United să revină de la 2-1 pentru adversari; al treilea său gol a fost cel de-al 100-lea gol al său în Premier League.Van Persie a ratat și un penalty în minutul 69.

Cariera internațională

Van Persie a devenit căpitanul echipei naționale a Olandei în mai puțin de o săptămână, primul meci fiind pe 4 iunie 2005, cu scorul de 2 - 0 împotriva României, iar după patru zile în meciul împotriva Finlandei, care i-a adus primul său gol la națională, scorul final fiind de 4 - 0.

A fost golgheterul campionatului englez, ediția 2011-2012, cu 30 de goluri. De asemenea, a fost ales și cel mai bun jucător al sezonului în Premier League.

Cupa Mondială din 2006

Deși nu era mereu în primul 11 la Arsenal, antrenorul Marco van Basten îl avea pregătit pentru finală. Van Persie a jucat în toate cele patru meciuri ale Olandei și a înscris unicul său gol împotriva Coastei de Fildeș dintr-o lovitură liberă.

Euro 2008

Van Persie a înscris patru goluri în calificări pentru Olanda și a fost folosit ca extremă în spatele atacantului Ruud van Nistelrooy în timpul turneului, când van Basten a decis să schimbe formația în 4-2-3-1. Pe data de 13 iunie, a înscris un gol împotriva Franței, iar apoi a înscris ca titular în meciul cu România. A încheiat cu două goluri, Olanda terminând pe locul 1 în grupă, dar a fost eliminată în optimi.

După Euro 2008

Van Persie a înscris în amicalele cu Rusia și Suedia. De asemenea, a înscris un gol cu capul într-un meci de calificare pentru Cupa Mondială într-un meci contra Scoției,lucru care a stârnit dezbateri dacă jucătorul ar trebui să execute lovitura de colț sau să aștepte mingea în careu.S-a accidentat în acel meci și a fost înlocuit la începutul reprizei secunde.

Cupa Mondială din 2010

Van Persie a fost inclus în echipa pentru preliminariile pentru Cupa Mondială din 2010 din Africa de Sud. Pe 27 mai 2010, antrenorul Olandei, Bert van Marwijk a anunțat că jucătorul este în echipa de 23 de jucători care participă la turneu. Van Persie a fost titular în primul meci al turneului,o victorie cu 2-0 în fața Danemarcei.Pe 24 Iunie, a înscris primul gol al său la acel turneu împotriva Camerunului într-o victorie cu 2-1 care le-a asigurat olandezilor prima poziție în grupă cu trei victorii și a fost numit oficial omul meciului.A început fiecare meci ca titular,deși nu a mai înscris goluri. Chiar și așa olandezul a ajuns în finala Cupei Mondiale din 2010,dar echipa sa a pierdut meciul datorită golului din prelungiri al lui Andrés Iniesta.

UEFA Euro 2012

Pe 2 septembrie 2011, Van Persie a înscris patru goluri într-o victorie record 11-0 cu San Marino. A intrat în topul primilor 10 marcatori ai tuturor timpurilor din Olanda cu un total de 25 de goluri,întrecându-l pe Marco van Basten. Van Persie nu mai înscrisese patru goluri într-un meci de mult timp.

Pe 13 iunie 2012,Van Persie a înscris un gol împotriva Germaniei în înfrângerea cu 2-1 a echipei sale la Campionatul European în faza grupelor.

După Euro 2012
La venirea la naționala Olandei, Louis van Gaal l-a criticat pe Van Persie,spunând că nu-l va folosi și că a fost cel mai slab jucător al Olandei la Euro 2012;în locul său declara că-l va folosi pe Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.Cu toate acestea, pe 7 septembrie 2012, Van Persie a început ca titular și a înscris primul gol al echipei sale în campania de calificare pentru Cupa Mondială din 2014. A înscris în minutul 17' împotriva Turciei, finalizând cu capul, plasat, după o centrare din corner, într-un moment greu al partidei,în care balanța părea să încline de partea turcilor. Echipa sa a câștigat meciul cu 2-0. În al doilea meci al grupei,cu Ungaria,Van Persie a început tot titular; n-a reușit să înscrie,dar a contribuit la primul gol.A fost schimbat în minutul 46',fiind înlocuit de Huntelaar, care a și marcat ultimul gol al olandezilor.În meciul de la București cu România, van Persie a marcat ultimul gol al victoriei Olandei cu 4-1.Pe 22 martie, Robin a marcat un alt gol împotriva Estoniei, în minutul 72. În următorul meci,cu România la Amsterdam, van Persie a marcat două goluri, primul dintr-o lovitură perfectă de cap din careu,iar al doilea dintr-un penalty.

Viața personală

În timpul sezonului 2004-2005, van Persie a fost acuzat de viol de o regină a frumuseții olandeză, Sandra Krijgsman, dar acuzațiile au fost respinse din cauza lipsei de dovezi, în urma unei investigații a poliției. Mai târziu, Krijgsman a declarat că a inventat povestea pentru a-și face publicitate. Van Persie a recunoscut că și-a înșelat soția cu Krijgsman, dar a fost iertat de aceasta. Cu toate că unele surse susțin că este creștin, van Persie nu și-a declarat niciodată religia. Van Persie este căsătorit cu marocanca Bouchra Elbali și împreună au doi copii: un fiu, Shaqueel, (născut pe data de 16 noiembrie 2006) și o fiică pe nume Dina. Ei trăiesc în Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire.

Implement general base conversion. Given a number in base a, represented as a sequence of digits, convert it to base b.
Try to implement the conversion yourself. Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.
In positional notation, a number in base b can be understood as a linear combination of powers of b.
I think you got the idea!
Yes. Those three numbers above are exactly the same. Congratulations!

Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey's "60 Minute Gourmet" column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.
Featured in: 60 Minute Groumet.
Bring water with salt to a boil in a large kettle.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the garlic and red and green peppers. Cook briefly without browning. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, drop linguine into boiling water and cook about 9 minutes or until it reaches a degree of doneness. Drain quickly and reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
While linguine cooks, heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about a minute. Add to tomato sauce.
Add linguine, reserved cooking liquid and the basil to mixture. Heat thoroughly. Toss well and serve immediately.


We have them ALL - Activated Charcoal Tablets, Activated Charcoal VCaps and Pure Activated Bulk Charcoal - at the BEST prices!
Because activated charcoal has such a high absorbency rate it is often used to treat individuals who have ingested poison or who have overdosed on drugs. In its powdered, carbon form (and sometimes in a liquid suspension form) the charcoal can absorb poisons in both the stomach and intestinal tract. Activated charcoal is known to absorb up to 60 percent of any poisonous substance that reaches the stomach.
Activated charcoal is believed to have the ability to help naturally detoxify the body. It is very commonly included as an active ingredient in colon cleansers and other body detox products. It is believed that the activated charcoal will help to pull toxins from the body as it passes through the digestive system, thus energizing and rejuvenating the system.
Individuals suffering from bloating, gas and diarrhea find activated charcoal to be a soothing remedy. The charcoal will enter the digestive tract and absorb the excess gas causing the individual's intestinal discomfort. Activated charcoal is used to treat painful digestive ailments of this nature because of its fast-acting properties.
Studies show that activated charcoal prevents body tissues from undergoing certain cellular changes associated with aging. The function of the liver, adrenal glands and kidneys are especially affected--often improving with regular use. The average lifespan of the test animals participating in the study was increased by 34 percent.
It is believed that activated charcoal helps to lower the amount of cholesterol, lipds, and triglycerides found in the blood. In turn, the functions of the heart, liver and brain in individuals who take activated charcoal regularly are enhanced, and the instance of high cholesterol and coronary artery disease decreases.
Some individuals who have had colds or flu viruses have reported that taking activated charcoal significantly reduced the severity of their symptoms. Activated charcoal has the ability to prevent bacteria and viruses from remaining active, absorbing many of their toxins before they have a chance to spread throughout the body. Activated charcoal has been used for more serious viruses, such as cholera and dysentery, as well.
While ingesting activated charcoal is very safe, you should not begin a charcoal regime without first seeking the advice of your physician or health-care provider. Because of its absorbent properties, activated charcoal may interfere with other medications you take, so it is important to wait the proper amount of time after taking one to take the other. Your doctor will be able to help you to determine which brand, dosage and absorbency is right for your particular needs.

Two of the five women who came forward to accuse James Franco of inappropriate sexual behavior sat down with Good Morning America's Amy Robach to elaborate on their allegations against the actor and to discuss why they went public.
When asked by Robach whether or not Franco's behavior puts him at the level of Harvey Weinstein, Tither-Kaplan was emphatic in making a distinction between various inappropriate behaviors, offering a nuanced take on sexual assault, violence, and harassment.
Franco's rep has denied any wrongdoing throughout the entire accusation cycle, telling Good Morning America that the allegations "are not accurate." Accuracy aside, it seems that Tither-Kaplan and Paley are looking for something so painfully simple that it is truly mind-blowing that he has not been able to produce it: an apology.
When asked what, if anything, Franco could to do to make up for his past behavior, Kapalan suggested that he could use his considerable clout for good instead of evil, by giving "opportunities to women that are real and valulable." Paley's suggestion was simple: "Please just apologize," she said.

EP Review | Kendrick Lamar – untitled unmastered.
Click HERE to purchase this EP.
YESSS. Okay, I'm just gonna get this preamble outta the way as quickly as I can. After the Grammys—WHICH WERE FUCKING GOD AWFUL BTW—Lebron James hit Top Dawg up on Twitter and was like…
Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance , you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What's up? Talk to me
— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 23, 2016
Then Top Dawg was like…
Dam my nigga u on my head 2…The fans been killing me. Y'all just backed me in a corner..Give me a few days 2 think https://t.co/5mFIPYUMXJ
— dangeroo kipawaa TDE (@dangerookipawaa) February 23, 2016
Then, a few days later, Top Dawg posted this on Instagram…
I was like "gawddamn…" THEN, he said THIS.
A lot of people were thinking that it would be ScHoolboy Q since he seemed to be the closest one to being done with his album, but that didn't really make sense to me… I don't think ScHoolboy Q would drop an album out of the air with no promotion like that. He's not on that level yet. The only thing that really made sense to me was what we ended up getting: a bunch of loose throwaway tracks from Kendrick's latest album. I'm surprised other people didn't predict this shit like I did. I mean, if you look back at everything Top Dawg said, it was pretty obvious that this was gonna happen. Anyway, as soon as that shit dropped I bought it on iTunes.
FUCK YESSS pic.twitter.com/KPfe4xreAE
— OG NICK MARSH (@OGNickMarsh) March 4, 2016
I'm just gonna go ahead and listen to this shit right now because I'm incredibly excit- Wait… Just Blaze just tweeted something…
I think there's another secret album coming out tomorrow too. Or is the second one not a secret anymore too?
— Just Blaze (@JustBlaze) March 4, 2016
What the fuck… If this motherfucker is lying I swear to fucking GOD I will be PISSED. I mean… Well, I can't really be mad… Kendrick just gave us new music… Whatever. Lemme just get this over with right now.
Track 1: untitled 01 | 08.19.2014. (Prod. Ritz)
FUCK. I don't have production credits… Whatever. I'll just update this shit when it comes out. Or maybe it's in the iTunes info… Lemme check… Nope. It's not here. There aren't any features listed here. I can tell from Rob Markman's tweets that there are other artists on here tho… Fuck. Alright, it doesn't matter. I can't believe this is happening. I thought for sure it'd be at least another two years before we got new music… OH MY GOD. I just had a thought… What if he puts the song from the intro of the Alright music video on this shit?? OR the song from the fuckin' Dr. Dre beats commercial???? Okay. It's starting now. I have the motherfucking volume up so loud right now. I have school tomorrow. It's gonna be a rough day. Well, no it isn't. I'm 'bout to be playin' this shit on the way to school. Alright, this intro did not need to be here… It's just making me uncomfortable. All I'm hearing is some guy talking dirty to a girl he's fuckin'. "All on you baby / Push it back on daddy / Push it back on daddy baby." The way it's recorded makes it seem like whoever's saying it is talking directly in my ear. I'm so uncomfortable… Okay, the song's actually starting now. Finally. That intro lasted over a minute. This beat is dope. It sounds like a grimier version of something that would've been on To Pimp A Butterfly. Basically, if you look at the EP cover, that's what this beat sounds like. Kendrick's goin' the fuck in. Lyrically, this track is pure insanity. It sounds like he's rapping about the fuckin' apocalypse or some shit like that. Or maybe it's just another day in the hood… Damn. It seems like he made this after To Pimp A Butterfly… "I made To Pimp a Butterfly 'fore you told me to use my vocals to save mankind for you," but the song title makes me think it was made in 2014… I don't know… The song is just one verse, but Kendrick was rappin' his motherfuckin' ass off. Goddamn. That outro is smoother than a motherfucker too. Who are the female vocals from? I don't know who that is, but it kinda sounds like Erykah Badu to me. I'm probably wrong tho. I don't know. It's probably just Anna Wise again. Anyway, I enjoyed this song, but I'm not blown away. Kendrick did his thing, but as a song this isn't on the level that I would expect from him. That intro was way too long. That's really my only problem with this song tho. I fuck with this. Kendrick fucking killed this shit. It's dope. 4/5
Track 2: untitled 02 | 06.23.2014. (Prod. Yung Exclusive & Cardo)
This intro is honestly a little corny to me. "Pimp-pimp / HOORAY." It's not enough to hurt the track that much but— OOHHH MY GOD THIS FUCKING BEAT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
Goddamn, this shit is smoother than a motherfucker. FUCK. This beat is better than sex. Hahahahahahahaha. I'm gonna start sayin' that about shit. Kendrick sounds like a motherfuckin' dog that's been severely abused singin' on this shit. He sounds… Honestly, he sounds fucking awful on this shit. I'm really not feelin' that. He sounds like… This is reminding me of the hook from Do Me No Favors by Troy Ave. That's not a good thing. Oh shit, this verse is from that Colbert performance. Or maybe it was Jimmy Fallon… The one where he's all like "I AM THE ONE / I CAN PUT A RAPPER ON LIFE SUPPORT / GUARANTEE SOMETHING THAT NONE OF YOU WANT." He fuckin' ripped that verse to shreds. Fuck, man. I really wish I liked this song. There are a lot of things that I like about, but I can't get behind Kendrick's vocals. That verse was fucking insane tho. He murdered that shit. His delivery, flow, lyrics… Everything was incredible. I love that verse. I didn't really like anything else about it. Well, the beat was dope af, but I didn't really start enjoying this until he started spitting the Colbert verse. FUCK. I'm gonna have to do some major editing to this track in GarageBand. For now, it's just okay. 3/5
Track 3: untitled 03 | 05.28.2013. Feat. Thundercat, Bilal, Terrace Martin & Anna Wise (Prod. Astronote)
FUCK YES. I know this song. This is the original "untitled" track that he performed on The Colbert Report before To Pimp A Butterfly came out. I already know this track is dope. This beat is dope. Kendrick fuckin' killed that verse. Especially when he started rappin' about what the white man said. He went off. I love this song. BUT… I don't know if I'm comfortable calling this dope af. I mean, yeah it definitely IS dope af by most MCs' standards, but Kendrick isn't most MCs. I can see why this was originally never supposed to be officially released. I'm not saying that I wish it wasn't released; I just understand why it was left as a performance for so long. It sounds like it was made for the stage. That's why it's so short. I wasn't in love with that outro either… I enjoyed this track, but not that much. It probably just should've been longer. Something's missing. Maybe it could've used another verse. It feels incomplete. It's just dope. I mean, for Kendrick. For most other MCs this is dope af. This is Kendrick tho, and for Kendrick, this is dope. 4/5
Track 4: untitled 04 | 08.14.2014. Feat. SZA & Jay Rock (Prod. Thundercat, Sounwave & Kendrick Lamar)
This track is less than 2 minutes long… Goddamn… Is that SZA? SZA's on this track I guess… This is so fucking smooth. Damn. It just ended. It's not much of a song… Should I even rate this shit? You know what… Fuck it. I will. There's no room on an 8 track EP for an interlude. I enjoyed the song. I think it would've been MUCH better if it was more fleshed out tho. This doesn't sound like a song. It sounds like an intro to a song. SZA stole the show obviously. There's no verse from Kendrick. I don't know who those vocals are from on the outro. (EDIT: According to XXL, it's Jay Rock. I really couldn't tell. He didn't sound bad. It's not like he was tryin' to hit a note or anything tho.) It's just SZA and whoever that guy was singing about how "head is the answer, head is the future." That's cool I guess. I enjoyed the song… Kinda. I just don't see myself ever coming back to this again. Ever. I wouldn't ever play this shit voluntarily. It's not the worst shit I've ever heard, but it's just kinda… Wack. It's just not good. It's easily the worst track on the EP so far. I'm not feelin' this. 2/5
Track 5: untitled 05 | 09.21.2014 Feat. Anna Wise, Punch & Jay Rock (Prod. Sounwave & Terrace Martin)
Damn. This beat is dope af. Sonically, this is getting back to that higher quality that I expect from Kendrick these days. I don't know who these female vocals are… She sounds good tho. (EDIT: It's Anna Wise) Kendrick's goin' in now. Oh, this is the verse from his performance at the Grammys. "Justice ain't free / Therefore justice ain't me / So I justify his name on obituary." This sounds like an actual song. This is great. I fuck with this hook. The first verse was dope af. He didn't spit the whole verse from the Grammys, but it's cool I guess. Woah… What the fuck? Is that… Punch? Wow. I wasn't expecting that… I'm glad he's here tho. I feel like he's very underappreciated as an MC. Well, it's not like he even takes his own rap career seriously, since he only does it for fun, but still. He's really good for someone who just does it as a hobby. I'd like to hear an EP or something from him. The loose tracks that he's released over the past few years have been great. His verse was great. "Studied the son of God, but still don't recognize my flaws / I guess I'm lost; the cost of being successful is equal to being neglectful." Kendrick's goin' in again. WOAH, what the fuck?? IS THAT JAY ROCK? Wow. This is fucking awesome. Kendrick & Jay Rock are trading bars. Jay Rock sounds great over this beat. Damn. He honestly sounds better over this beat than Kendrick. This is fucking great. I really enjoyed this. This is dope af to me. 5/5
Track 6: untitled 06 | 06.30.2014. Feat. Cee-Lo Green (Prod. Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Younge)
Damn. This beat is dope. It kinda sounds like elevator muzak. Not in a bad way tho. What the fuck? Is that fuckin' Cee-Lo Green? Damn. I did not expect that shit at all. Wow. I don't really mind it. It just kinda caught me off guard. He actually did a great job. I'm not a huge fan of Cee-Lo, but he sounded really damn smooth on this shit. Kendrick's verse is great. This is dope. I fuck with this. I'm not blown away by anything, but it's still a really good song to me. I fuck with this. It's dope. 4/5
Track 7: untitled 07 | 2014 – 2016 (Prod. Frank Dukes, Cardo, Yung Exclusive & Egypt)
This track has the same intro as Track 2. Damn. This beat is fuckin' crazy. God… DAMN. When that beat fuckin' drops, this shit is CRAZY. This is the most mainstream sound that a Kendrick song has had since good kid, m.A.A.d. city. This beat is great. It's more ignorant lyrically too. Hahahaha. Goddamn. The beat just switched up. Apparently, Swizz Beatz's 5 year old son, Egypt, produced this part. It's dope. I mean, if the whole song had this beat it wouldn't be as good, but the way it's mixed in with the rest of the song makes it more exciting. It's definitely an amazing beat for a 5 year old. Well… Actually, I'm not sure what the average beat from a 5 year old producer sounds like. I'm sure it's not as good as this tho. Kendrick went the fuck in on this beat too. He killed that shit. "Hope it's evident that I inspired a thousand emcees to do better." Damn. Okay… This long ass outro didn't need to be here. Kendrick's singing over an acoustic guitar. This shit sounds like it was recorded in the 1940s. He's sitting in a room singin' over a guitar. Damn. This really didn't need to be here. Okay, I'm done with this song. That third part was cool, but nah. I'm finna have to cut that shit out. This is a dope song. It would've been dope af without that long winded outro. That was not necessary. This might've been the best track on the project if it weren't for that outro. I fuck with the song tho. 4/5
Track 8: untitled 08 | 09.06.2014. (Prod. Thundercat & Mono/Poly)
Damn. This beat is dope af. Oh shit. This is the song he performed on Jimmy Fallon's show. I fuck with this hook. I love the fast pace of this song. This beat is really relaxing too. This would be a good song to play first thing in the morning, as the sun is still rising. This is fucking great. This is one of the best songs on the whole project. Honestly, this is the only song on the album that actually feels complete. Well, I guess Track 5 felt like it was completed. This is good too tho. This is great. I fuck with this shit. This is dope af. 5/5
That was dope. It's obviously not as good as his actual albums because it's only 8 tracks long, and most of these songs are leftovers that weren't good enough to make an official project in the first place. It's still a dope collection of music tho. Sonically, it's like a far less polished version of To Pimp A Butterfly. He uses a lot of the same vocal expressions that were heard on that album. The same style of production is used too. It's obvious that this shit was thrown together pretty quickly. It's still a good EP tho. Just don't expect to be blown away. Most of these tracks are clearly incomplete. It's a collection of ideas spliced together. I enjoyed it tho. It's dope. If you don't like Kendrick (…), this isn't gonna change your mind about him. If you loved To Pimp A Butterfly, and you consider yourself to be one of his core fans, then you should definitely check this out. Just remember what it is tho; it's only eight leftover tracks. This isn't his fourth album. If you forget that, you will be disappointed. If you're a casual fan of Kendrick, I'd skim this. If you only like a few Kendrick songs, I think it'd be okay for you to skip this one. I enjoyed it tho. Of course the Beats commercial song, and the Alright music video intro didn't make it here… Also, I would've loved to hear a diss track towards Jay Electronica. I mean, he did diss him subliminally on… Fuck. I can't remember with these song titles… It might've been track 7. I want a full diss track tho. Anyway, I fuck with this EP. It's dope to me.

Lady Gaga: The Real Winner of Super Bowl 51?
By Jade Scipioni Published February 06, 2017 Media & Advertising FOXBusiness foxbusiness.com
".."Lady Gaga's performance ranks as a solid No. 2 next to the late Prince. Her decision to focus on unity, instead of a Trump divide was the right card to be played. From the rooftop performance to the drones, her performance embodied what truly makes America great," Tony Cutillo, Real Sports Insider and Fantasy Sports Expert told FOX Business.
Last year, Beyonce received some heat for her politically-charged halftime performance, which was seen as taking a stand against racism and police brutality. .."
Lady Gaga SUPER BOWL LI Halftime Show Channels LUCIFER – Illuminati Alchemical Ritual EXPOSED
FaceLikeTheSun
The Illuminati are a group of men who believe that they have descended from an ET race. The Biblical account of Genesis 6 describes those who mated with human women, and bore giants. The strange reality is that the Illuminists believe that they are the sons of God, and by proxy, the descendants of the Nephilim. All of this has become public. And at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime show, it was no different. Lucifer was exonerated and worshiped by Lady Gaga, and millions of unsuspecting Americans and citizens of the world.

Today's performance at the Super Bowl 2017 Patriots vs. The Falcons, Lady Gaga performed the half time show as Lucifer / Anti-Christ / Satan / Devil in a show packed with subliminal Luciferian / Illuminati / Freemason Symbolism.
Edit: Since this performance is centred around Revelation 9.11, it has become apparent to me that the twin towers destruction are represented on the stage – makes a lot of sense. Very disturbing that the nation watches this without even realising. That's the nature of witchcraft. Thanks for the heads up. God bless"

Daniel's Vision of the Ram and Goat
1In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. 2And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. 3Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. 4I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 6And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. 7And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. 13Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Jesus Christ is LORD and Savior the Son of God raised from the dead.
All Glory to God.
Hallelujah."

Neutral Perspective: Housing for Mental-Physical Challenged "Wasteful" or NOT?
NPR : People with Mental Illness, Who Needs Housing, Housing First npr.org
"..But in 1998, 283,800 people with mental illnesses were incarcerated in American jails or prisons – four times the number in state mental hospitals, according to the Department of Justice. "These days, the largest single provider of housing for people with severe mental illness is the criminal justice system," says Sperling. ..
Today's reality falls far short of the vision of four decades ago, when the deinstitutionalization movement was born. In theory, people were to move from mental hospitals into community mental health care systems, and be reintegrated into towns and neighborhoods where they'd get services and shelter. Several studies have shown the idea can work, and thousands of Americans with mental illness have benefited — but thousands more have failed to get adequate follow-up, treatment and assistance.
The supportive housing model also saves taxpayers money, experts say. Researchers at Berkeley University's Goldman School of Public Policy examined the consequences of providing supportive housing for 250 people with mental illness. Before moving in, the participants had made frequent use of emergency rooms and hospitals, costing thousands of dollars per person annually. Once the people were placed in supportive housing, the study found a 58 percent decrease in emergency room visits, a corresponding drop in hospital stays, and virtual elimination of their use of residential mental health facilities. …
Approximately one-third of the nation's homeless have a severe mental illness. Many others with mental illness end up living nomadically, moving among the homes of parents and other family members. Outside the family, group homes are the primary housing option for people with mental illness, but they often face stiff resistance from neighbors: "There are huge NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) battles about establishing a four-person home for people with depression," says Allen. .."

1 person, 1 home, millions of dollars By: Jeff Baillon Posted:Feb 02 2017 07:11PM CST fox9.com
"…One person lives in the three bedroom home and state employees come and go around the clock. There are at least three per shift and they are hired to support the needs of the lone occupant.
"They really don't need a house this size for one person," neighbor Bob Krahn said.
The Fox 9 Investigators discovered it is costing taxpayers almost a million dollars a year.
An 18-year-old man, whose initials are W.O., was placed in the home last summer.
W.O. is a ward of the state, has intellectual and developmental disabilities and a history of difficult behavior.
"Handled the right way it's a good thing for a neighborhood because we need to see people of all abilities," Lemoyne Corgard, a neighbor, said."
Part 2: Alone and at risk in Minnesota's group homes Story by Chris Serres and Glenn Howatt • Photos by David Joles • Star Tribune StarTribune.com NOVEMBER 9, 2015 — 12:00AM
Set up to be safe havens, some group homes for the disabled have become remote "prisons," where residents are vulnerable to violence and neglect.
"..Remote clusters
Minnesota's reliance on group homes dates to the late 1970s, when it led the nation in shutting down large state hospitals that housed people with mental illnesses and developmental disabilities. The state encouraged small, private group homes as a more humane and cost-effective alternative, and subsidized them through Medicaid and other programs…"
And though group homes were meant for people needing 24-hour care, such as patients with severe mental illnesses, many accept just about anyone with an intellectual or developmental disability. Records show that even clients who need just basic assistance with daily activities — like cooking meals or catching the bus — can wind up in group homes that cost up to $80,000 per person per year….
GROUP HOMES OVERPAID Posted on Jun 30, 2015 11:00am PDT nyrealestatelawblog.com
".. The state's Office for People with Developmental Disabilities' Finger Lakes Developmental Disabilities Service Office (DDSO) skirted state procurement laws for more than 1,400 purchases worth more than $1 million, gave one vendor an unfair advantage in obtaining the state's business and overpaid for hundreds of household items, according to an audit recently released by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.
"The state's procurement process is intended to ensure fair competition, guard against favoritism, and protect taxpayers," DiNapoli said. "By failing to follow the state's procurement requirements, Finger Lakes DDSO wasted taxpayer dollars and gave an unfair advantage to one vendor. This cannot continue, and our recommendations should be implemented immediately."
The Finger Lakes DDSO is responsible for coordinating services for approximately 1,500 persons with developmental disabilities living in 150 group homes across eight counties. Employees at each group home routinely purchase food and household items necessary to keep the homes operational.
The DDSO purchased food and household items through a centralized contract with Palmer Distributing until the contract expired in June 2012. Thereafter, the DDSO should have purchased items that met their needs first from preferred sources (which are established in state law), then from other centralized contracts, and, last, through a formal competitive process to ensure a fair procurement…"
Congress to Consider Scaling Down Group Homes for Troubled Children by Joaquin Sapien ProPublica, May 20, 2015, 11:47 a.m. propublica.org
At a hearing in Washington, a renewed call for addressing the violence and neglect that plagues group homes for foster youth.
".."There is tremendous momentum and truly bipartisan support for this right now, so hopefully we're at a real turning point," said Rob Geen, director of policy reform and advocacy for the Casey Foundation. "There are far too many children being separated from their families and being placed in what is available instead of what is best for them. Now we have an agreement that there is a problem and a growing consensus on how to fix it."
According to the report, 40 percent of children living in group homes don't have a diagnosis that warrants such a placement. The report suggests that children are often sent to the homes because there is nowhere else for them to go…
Grüber, the former foster child who testified at the hearing, said she certainly would have preferred staying with a family member as opposed to living in a group home for two years.
In an interview, she told ProPublica that when she was first removed from her biological parents' home at age 15, she was placed with her uncle and his three sons in a three-bedroom home. She wanted to stay there. But she said that the Connecticut Department of Children and Families moved her to a homeless shelter and then into a foster home based on a technicality: that there weren't enough bedrooms for all the children living in her uncle's home.
"If I had stayed with my uncle, I would've had more stability. It would've been so much better to feel more involved with my family. My uncle is very involved in the church. He's really strict, but I think that would've been helpful to me. I needed that structure," Grüber said….
Kari Sisson, executive director for the American Association of Children's Residential Centers, told ProPublica that Australia closed its residential programs in the 1990s because foster care was cheaper. In time, she said, foster parents got overwhelmed and quit. Many youngsters ended up homeless or in jail. And Australia had to reopen the homes with more intensive therapeutic services in the mid-2000s.
"The conversation is fair, but it's not informed," she said. "I worry that they are making decisions that will seriously affect children who need therapeutic residential treatment. I've been a foster parent for many years and there are a lot of kids in the system that can't live in my house, because it's not safe for us and it's not safe for the community. They need a lot more intensive care than a foster parent can offer. It's very challenging."
Sisson was not called to testify…"

Nonprofits reap generous perks April 11, 2005|By JOHN B. O'DONNELL AND JONATHAN D. ROCKOFF articles.baltimoresun.com
Children in private group homes may be shortchanged in care, but the owners can profit handsomely
"..Despite all the gaps in financial accountability, state officials say they don't plan any major changes. DHR Secretary McCabe says that while department auditors should look at group homes' financial statements, inspectors lack the expertise to ferret out improper spending. "Our licensing unit is not necessarily designed to do that," he said.
Diane Coughlin, a health department official, also argues that inspectors lack the skills to police inappropriate spending, even if limits were put on salaries, rent and other non-care items.
"We'd never be able to enforce it," said Coughlin, director of the Developmental Disabilities Administration, a health department unit that has licensed 35 group home companies with 115 facilities.
"But having said that, do we expect people to spend tax dollars wisely? You're darn tootin' we do."
In an investigation of state oversight of group homes going back a decade, The Sun found that:
Mistreatment of children has gone unpunished.
People with criminal convictions can – and do – work at group homes.

Reaping Millions in Nonprofit Care for Disabled By RUSS BUETTNERAUG. 2, 2011 nytimes.com
"..Medicaid money created quite a nice life for the Levy brothers from Flatbush, Brooklyn.
The brothers, Philip and Joel, earned close to $1 million a year each as the two top executives running a Medicaid-financed nonprofit organization serving the developmentally disabled.
They each had luxury cars paid for with public money. And when their children went to college, they could pass on the tuition bills to their nonprofit group.
Philip H. Levy went as far as charging the organization $50,400 for his daughter's living expenses one year when she attended graduate school at New York University. That money paid not for a dorm room, but rather it helped her buy a co-op apartment in Greenwich Village.
The rise of the Levy brothers, from scruffy bearded social workers in the 1970s to millionaires with homes in the Hamptons, Sutton Place and Palm Beach Gardens, reveals much about New York's system for caring for the developmentally disabled — those with conditions like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism…"

Rensselaer Mayor Michael Stammel is working to bring the city, Rensselaer County and East Greenbush together to hire an environmental attorney to fight the landfill in getting its license renewal from DEC.Will Waldron/Times UnionShow MoreShow Less
RENSSELAER – The city wants to join with the neighboring town of East Greenbush and Rensselaer County to hire an environmental lawyer to oppose the state's relicensing of the controversial S.A. Dunn landfill, Mayor Michael Stammel said.
Plans to form a united legal front were unveiled by Stammel Tuesday night when he appeared before the Rensselaer County Legislature to support a measure calling on the state Department of Environmental Conservation to not relicense the construction and demolition debris dump.
"All I'm asking for is a little support from the county," Stammel said Wednesday following the meeting.
If the city, town and county unite in hiring an environmental attorney, they will be able to pool their resources legally and in their public opposition, Stammel said. This would be in addition to the lawyer, Colleen R. Pierson of the Albany law firm of O'Connell and Aronowitz, that the grassroots organization the Rensselaer Environmental Coalition has retained to champion its opposition to the license renewal.
DEC is conducting an assessment on whether to grant an enhanced renewal operating permit for the landfill.
S.A. Dunn takes action to "exceed each and every standard set by our regulators. By every objective measure, through extensive sampling and testing, it has been determined that S.A. Dunn does not negatively impact the health and safety of residents," Jeff Burrier of the company said in a recent statement.
Legislature Chairwoman Kelly Hoffman, R-North Greenbush, said Tuesday night that legislators have been united in their opposition to the landfill and its relicensing. Mark Fleming, D-Troy, spoke in opposition to the landfill during the legislature's monthly meeting.
Hoffman said she would take up Stammel's proposal seeking to unite the city, town and county with one legal team. She said she would get more information from the mayor. Hoffman said she had a preliminary conversation with the county Health Department about what steps could be taken in response to the Rensselaer Environmental Coalition's request for an investigation of the landfill.
County Executive Steve McLaughlin also will be asked to join in the fight, said Stammel, who said he would be contacting McLaughlin. Stammel is past chairman of the legislature and worked closely with McLaughlin on county issues over the last four years.
"Rensselaer County is reviewing the issue regarding resident concerns about the Dunn landfill and permit issues. We are interested in seeing if the town and city are fully utilizing their regulatory capabilities with regard to the property," said Richard Crist, the county director of operations and McLaughlin spokesman.
Stammel said he discussed working together with East Greenbush Supervisor Jack Conway in December when the town held a public forum on the landfill. Town officials have expressed concerns about garbage and pollution from the dump that may impact their community which borders the site.
Conway could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
