In the struggle with substance abuse, sometimes the goal of just getting free from the frightening dependence on drugs or alcohol can hijack all our attention. So, as a therapist, I want to thank you for your June 10, 2016 article on "The Link Between Trauma and Addiction," and allowing me to write a follow up article from a trauma-informed care perspective.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to consider and treat trauma when we talk about addiction treatment and recovery. There is always a reason someone is using. When a pattern of addiction behavior has taken hold, it is not because it's fun or feels good. People use because they are trying to maintain a sense of feeling "normal," to feel less badly, or to feel less of anything at all.
What kind of trauma are we talking about? You said it perfectly, "trauma can be different for everyone." Indeed, trauma is in the eye of the perceiver.
Trauma can actually be any event! What matters is that the person perceived trauma in their life. We need to recognize its impact on a person's mental health and its certain role in addiction.
It builds awareness of stages of recovery — a "road map" for healing, not just the using behavior, but the pain that they were trying to address by using.
Stage 1 is all about getting a sense of being clean and sober, and learning coping skills to deal with emotions, painful thoughts and feelings, and urges to use. When emotions are no longer numb, many in recovery feel overwhelming anxiety or depression, and they don't know what to do.
For everyone, understanding trauma's role in addiction helps us better support people in recovery. Being trauma-informed helps those in recovery to understand themselves and why they began using, their need for emotional safety, the universal need for healthy coping skills and connections, and their right to feel calm and good about themselves. In treatment, it helps therapists guide a positive journey to greater self-understanding, self-care and powerful coping skills. It is the most powerful approach I know to grow from addiction into a fulfilling, self-directed life that is not trauma driven.

Guten Tag from Vienna, Austria (yes they speak German here)! From Crete, Greece, I took a 3-hour flight to get here. I landed around 11 AM and for just 12 Euros, I took the City Airport Train to the City Center. From there, I took Uber to my *very posh* hotel which I am so excited to tell you more about later.
Austria is a landlocked country located in Central Europe. It lies within the Alps, therefore leaving only 32% of it below 500 meters. Beach lovers, worry not, Austria is home to very scenic lakes and waterfalls so you can enjoy water just the same. It's just that it's not salty :p Vienna is its capital and personally, I think this city is beyond magical. It's not hard to see that as the First Snow Globe was made here (I love snow globes!!), the Sound of Music was filmed somewhere close here, and of course, they've been consistently part of the World's Most Liveable City.
I only spent 2 nights in Vienna and next time, I swear I'd stay longer! Some of you might be thinking that I haven't 'really' been to Vienna for staying 2 nights here but hey, not all of us have the luxury and time and money (plus I have a husband and two cats to come home too). Anyway, here are some things you can do in Vienna if you're just here for a short time (although I suggest you stay longer).
1) Plan your trip ahead and check out the cool concerts, events, and festivals – I was lucky enough to catch the Circus Roncalli, a German Circus which was founded in 1976. They have a one month show in Vienna and I couldn't resist, I have to see their World Class Performance right before my very eyes! I was there the last minute so the only seat available was the premium one where I had to pay 104 Euros. No regrets, it was such a magical show which lasted for 3 hours and it was all worth every penny! Check out a list of Concerts, Events, and Festivals on Austria's Official Tourism Page.
3) Wander around and admire the beautiful art collection at the Belvedere Palace Museum – For art lovers, this is the place to be! For those who isn't much of a fan of arts, this is still the place to be. This is home to some of the noble artworks of Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Max Beckmann. Here, you can also find the world's largest collection of Gustav Klimt's paintings and works by Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka.
4) Take a Day Trip to either the Alpine Panoramic Hallstatt, Melk Abbey and Danube Valley, Wachau Valley – As I told you earlier in this post, Austria is home to magnificent lakes, river, and valleys. Choose any of these tours which will take you outside of the city and let you experience Austria's nature at its finest. If you have more time, then why not try to see everything? 🙂 P.S. Do not forget your camera and 100 GB of memory card!
1) The hotel itself is historical – Imagine yourself 300 years ago standing in the staging post on the horse-drawn mail coach route between Vienna and Trieste (thus the name), that's where Hotel Das Triest is located. The original stables with their vaulted ceilings from back then were converted to lounges, suites, and conference rooms.
2) The architecture is beyond magnificent – Thanks to Austrian architect Peter Lorenz, they have successfully transformed an old building into a unique boutique hotel, characterized by posh contemporary design and luxury. I still can't believe how a traditional building could be transformed into something this modern and luxurious. You can really tell that they exerted tons of effort in every corner of this building. This is a perfect example of where the past and the present blend in harmoniously.
4) The location – As it is located in the middle of the City Centre, almost all the attractions are easily accessible. The Karlsplatz Underground Station is a 2-minute walk away, St. Stephen's Cathedral can be reached in a 15-minute walk. Also, the Naschmarkt is within a few minutes walk away. This is where a lot of restaurants are and it is also famous for souvenir shopping.
5) The staff – Some of their staff are Filipinos and I am proud to say that we are indeed very hospitable (all of them, not just the Filipinos haha). They were able to attend to my questions and needs and they were all very kind and warm.
6) The room – Who am I not to like a Business Suite?! Come on, this room is like a dream! I totally felt like I'm a real vip the moment I stepped in this room. I had a sleeping and living area, a Bang & Olufsen plasma flat-screen TV, and designer furniture by B&B Italia, Wittmann, Philippe Starck and Minotti. These names are very famous in this field so excuse me as I lay on these pieces of furniture. Haha. Take a look at my Facebook page to see a tour of this room!
7) Value for money – For the price of 417 Euros for a Superior Double Room as posted in Booking.com, I must say that you'd really get the value for your money. Hello, 417 Euros for a beautiful historical hotel in Vienna, Austria?? That's not bad at all!


On spot entries will be accepted throughout the day and entry forms will be available on location.
Entry forms, rules and other details are also available online at www.jcdc.gov.jm , at the JCDC Head Office, 3-5 Phoenix Avenue, Kingston 10 and all JCDC parish offices island-wide.
Entrants who were not successful at any of the four previously held regional auditions are also being invited to audition again with a new song at today's audition.
This final audition is the second of two auditions which were scheduled for the Eastern Region, which covers the parishes of Kingston and St. Andrew, St. Catherine and St. Thomas; with the first being held last Friday, March 15, also at the Eastwood Park New Testament Church.
The three other regional auditions were held as follows: the Western Region, covering Westmoreland, Hanover, Trelawny and St. James, at the Hollis Peter Lynch Hall, Westgate, Montego Bay on Friday, February 8; the Northern Region, covering the parishes of St. Ann, St. Mary and Portland, at the St. Mary Anglican Church Hall, St. Mary on Friday, February 15; and the Central Region, covering the parishes of Clarendon, Manchester and St. Elizabeth, at the St. Mark's Anglican Church Hall, Mandeville, Manchester, on Friday, March.
"All of our auditions so far have really highlighted some promising young talents right across the island, and I look forward to all the outstanding talents that will be unearthed today," Said Andrea McCurdy, Events Coordinator, National Religious Services and Projects at the JCDC.
The Jamaica Children's Gospel Competition has three categories: solo, ensemble and choir and two age classes: 6-10 years old and 11-15 years old.


BOSTON, MA–(Marketwired – Jan 20, 2016) – Vesper, the technology leader in acoustic MEMS, announced today that it is collaborating with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a leading provider of advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology, to deliver the world's first commercially available piezoelectric MEMS microphones for smartphones, wearables, automobiles, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other high-volume markets.

Taiwan tensions raise fears of US-China conflict in Asia
BANGKOK (AP) – By sending a record number of warplanes to pursue Taiwan on the occasion of China's national holiday, Beijing has softened the saber rattling, but tensions remain high and the rhetoric and rationale for the exercise have not changed.
Experts agree that direct conflict is now unlikely, but as the future of self-governing Taiwan increasingly turns into a powder keg, failure or miscalculation could lead to confrontation as China's and America's ambitions diverge.
China is seeking to regain control of the strategically and symbolically important island, and the United States views Taiwan in the context of broader challenges from China.
"From the US perspective, the concept of great power rivalry with China has pushed this issue on the agenda," said Henry Boyd, a British defense analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
"The need to confront China is a strong enough motivating factor, so abandoning this fight will also be seen as a betrayal of American national interests."
China claims that Taiwan is its property and control of the island is a key component of Beijing's political and military thinking. Leader Xi Jinping over the weekend reiterated that "the reunification of the nation must be and will definitely be accomplished," a goal made more realistic by the massive improvements in China's military over the past two decades.
In response, the United States increased its support for Taiwan and, more broadly, shifted its focus to the Indo-Pacific region. US State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday stressed that US support for Taiwan is "rock solid," saying that "we have also made very clear our commitment to deepening our ties with Taiwan."
Washington's longstanding policy has been to provide political and military support to Taiwan without making explicit promises to protect it from Chinese attack.
Both sides arguably came closest to strikes in 1996, when China, irritated by what it saw as growing American support for Taiwan, decided to flex its muscles with exercises that included launching missiles into waters about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from Taiwan. coastline ahead of Taiwan's first popular presidential election.
The United States responded with a show of force by sending two carrier groups to the region. At the time, China had no aircraft carriers and little means to threaten American ships and retreated.
Offended by this episode, China embarked on a massive retooling of its armed forces, and 25 years later, it vastly improved its missile defense system, which could easily retaliate, and equipped or built its own aircraft carriers.
In a recent report by the US Department of Defense to Congress, it was noted that in 2000 it ranked China's military as "a sizable but largely obsolete military," but today it is a competitor, already surpassing the US military in some areas, including shipbuilding. where the world's largest fleet is now located.
Counting ships is not the best way to compare capabilities – for example, the US Navy has 11 aircraft carriers against two Chinese ones – but in the event of a conflict over Taiwan, China will be able to deploy almost all of its naval forces, and also has land-based anti-ship missiles to add to the combat, said Boyd, co-author of the IISS's annual global military balance sheet.
"The concept of China's operations against Taiwan is that if they can delay the US presence in combat or limit the numbers they can deploy in combat because we can hold their advanced assets at a certain level of risk, they can defeat the Taiwanese before how will the Americans be strong enough to do something about it, "he said.
Taiwan's own strategy is a mirror image – delaying China long enough for the United States and its allies to show strength. It has significant military forces and the advantage of fighting on its territory. A recent policy paper also notes the need for asymmetric measures, which could include things like missile strikes on munitions in mainland China or fuel dumps.
Taiwan's Ministry of Defense's assessment of China's capabilities, presented to parliament in August and obtained by the Associated Press, said China already has the ability to close Taiwanese ports and airports, but currently lacks the transport and logistics support for large-scale joint amphibious operations – although improving with each in the afternoon.
In a new strategic leadership policy last week, US Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro called China "the biggest" long-term challenge.
"For the first time in at least a generation, we have a strategic rival with naval capabilities that rival ours and that seeks to aggressively use its forces to challenge American principles, partnership and prosperity," says in the document.
China on National Day weekend earlier this month sent a record 149 warplanes southwest of Taiwan with strike teams – in international airspace but in the island's buffer zone, forcing Taiwan to take up defense.
On Monday, China announced it had conducted a landings and assault exercises in the mainland province directly opposite Taiwan.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the mainland government's Taiwan Affairs Office, justified his actions by necessity, saying on Wednesday that they were provoked by "Taiwan independence forces" colluding with "outside forces."
"At every step, the Chinese are trying to change the status quo and normalize the situation by slicing salami," said Hu Tiang Bun, China Program Coordinator, School of International Studies. S. Rajaratnam in Singapore. "They know there is nothing Taiwan can do about it, and the danger is that the potential for miscalculation or failure does exist."
Taiwan and China split in 1949 in a civil war, when Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists fled to the island when Mao Zedong's communists came to power.
In a 2019 defense document, Beijing said it favors "the peaceful reunification of the country" – which Xi Jinping reiterated over the weekend – but also clearly states its goals.
"China must and will be reunited," the document says. "We do not promise to abandon the use of force and reserve the opportunity to take all necessary measures."
Meanwhile, Taiwan's President Tsai Ying-wen advocates broader global support, writing in the latest issue of Foreign Affairs magazine that "If Taiwan falls, the consequences will be catastrophic for regional peace and the system of democratic alliances. … "
"Failure to protect Taiwan will be a disaster not only for Taiwanese," she wrote. "It would overturn the security architecture that has ensured peace and exceptional economic development in the region for seven decades."
US law requires Taiwan to help Taiwan maintain its defenses and treat threats to the island as "a matter of serious concern."
Washington recently acknowledged that US Special Forces is on the island as training and is intensifying multinational maneuvers in the region as part of its stated commitment to a "free and open Indo-Pacific." These included a drill involving 17 ships from six navies – the United States, Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Canada and New Zealand off the Japanese island of Okinawa earlier this month.
The so-called "Quartet" group of countries – the US, Australia, India and Japan – on Thursday concluded joint exercises in the Bay of Bengal, which, according to the Japanese Defense Ministry, have demonstrated their determination to uphold "fundamental values such as democracy and state power." law."
Washington also signed an agreement with Britain last month to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines, which China said would "seriously harm regional peace and stability."
"The Americans are trying to unite their allies in a united front," Hu said. "The Taiwan question is becoming more and more internationalized."
Right now, neither side's militaries feel fully prepared for a conflict over Taiwan, but in the end it may not be their solution, Boyd said.
"It won't be up to the military," he said. "It will depend on the politicians."
Associated Press contributors Matthew Lee in Washington and Huizhong Wu in Taipei, Taiwan contributed to this report.

"We Want To Do This The Right Way": Splitgate Has No Plans To Leave Open Beta Anytime Soon
By Jason Winter, News Editor August 20, 2021
Splitgate is a free-to-play game that's in open beta -- and developer 1047 Games plans to keep it like that for a long time. In a recent press release, CEO Ian Proulx said that his company will be "iterating on the game's concurrent capacity in order to minimize player wait times." As such, its full release is being delayed indefinitely.
Splitgate has exploded in popularity following its release into open beta, crushing the game servers, which are now largely stable. "We want to do this the right way," Proulx said, "and we want to be prepared for massive scale when we officially launch, all the while continuing to improve the beta with frequent updates, additional features, and improvements to server capacity."
Long-time readers of MMOBomb will know that we typically consider a free-to-play game in open beta -- especially one with a working cash shop -- to have officially launched, because there's no tangible difference between the two; talk of "working with fans to create a better game" is something that goes on before, during, and after the "official" launch, and the "we're in beta" excuse is usually trotted out just to excuse bugs and poor implementation of game mechanics, both of which can still exist after "launch."
In this case, however, I'm willing to give Splitgate at least a bit of a pass. Going from a few hundred to tens of thousands of players isn't the sort of thing that any company can truly prepare for, and server instability isn't something you can just code in. Eventually, that most pressing issue will be solved, however -- and 1047 certainly has the resources to do so -- and once that happens, we'll go back to being cynical about Splitgate's indeterminable "open beta."

Q: ReactJS - How can I refer a state using computed values? Been trying to find a solution here but it seems tricky.
I have these states:
const [items, setItems] = useState([{ id: uuidv4(), text: 'Your items goes here' }]);
const [snippets, setSnippets] = useState([{ id: uuidv4(), text: 'Your snippets goes here' }]);
const [keywords, setKeywords] = useState([{ id: uuidv4(), text: 'Your keywords goes here' }]);
const [urls, setUrls] = useState([{ id: uuidv4(), text: 'Your URLs goes here' }]);
const [currentState, setCurrentState] = useState("items")

And I'm using this code to render it into the page:
{items.map((i, index) =>
     <SingleItem
          key={i.id}
          text={i.text}
     />
 )}

I want to be able to switch between states dynamically, but when I try this it doesn't show the right state and I get empty list:
{[currentState].map((i, index) =>
               <SingleItem
                    onBlur={handleBlur}
                    key={i.id}
                    text={i.text}
               />
)}

Is there a way to use computed values as a reference to another state? am I missing something? should I use other way to achieve it?
I'm using functions and not classes.
Also I don't use redux or context.
Thanks in advance.

A: You should define a map between the name and the state values.
const [items, setItems] = useState(...);
const [snippets, setSnippets] = useState(...);
const [keywords, setKeywords] = useState(...);
const [urls, setUrls] = useState(...);

const stateMap = {items, snippets, keywords, urls};
const [currentState, setCurrentState] = useState("items");

and then use
stateMap[currentState].map((i, index) =>
   ...
);

A: You can use a render function to decide what items to show. Something like this:
   const renderItemsByType = (type = "items") => {
  let stateToUse = items;
  switch (type) {
    default:
    case "items":
      stateToUse = items;
    case "snippets":
      stateToUse = snippets;
    case "keywords":
      stateToUse = keywords;
    case "urls":
      stateToUse = urls;
  }

  return stateToUse.map((i, index) => (
    <SingleItem onBlur={handleBlur} key={i.id} text={i.text} />
  ));
};

Hi everyone, I have done this dozens of times and am totally stumped as to why it isn't working.
I am still pretty new to Codeigniter. Any thoughts or suggestions on places to start looking? Thanks!
What I find strange is that you're accessing $artist from within your view, but the error says the $data variable is undefined. You must be trying to access the $data variable within your view somewhere, and I think that's where the error lies.
If you are sending $data['artist'] to your view, then in your view that variable is accessible by $artist, not $data['artist']. CI runs extract() on the $data array when sending it to the view.
If you want to still have the $data array defined (perhaps you want to group related data), then you need to send $data['data']['artist'] to the view and then $data['artist'] would be available.

6 Great New England Boating Daytrips
Tom Richardson
Adventures, Boat
boating, Burton Island, camping, Norwalk Islands, Selden Island, Swan Island
Here are six great boating daytrips to keep you on the water all season! Text & Photo by Tom Richardson
1) Burton, Knight & Woods Islands, VT
A major attraction for boaters, regardless of the season, in the northern part of Lake Champlain (also known as the Inshore Sea) is the trio of state parks on Knight, Woods, and Burton Islands, the last home to a seasonal ranger-staffed campground with a swimming beach, hiking trails, snack bar, canoe, and rowboat rentals and a 100-slip marina. Knight and Woods Islands offer a more rustic camping experience, with wilderness sites and no rangers on duty. While all three campgrounds officially close on Labor Day, they continue to draw daytrippers in the fall. Boaters can launch at several ramps in North and South Hero, as well as in nearby Saint Albans.

2) Swan Island, Richmond, ME
There are several Swan Islands in Maine, but this one is on the Kennebec River, some 10 miles north of Bath. The island, part of the Steve Powell Wildlife Management Area, features large, forested areas interspersed by open fields and wetlands. Nature trails wind through the island, and mountain biking can be enjoyed on the central road. Several historic homesteads, as well as an old cemetery, serve as points of interest.
The best way to reach the island and its state-run campground, on the eastern side, is by kayak or canoe. Boaters can camp overnight, but reservations are required. Note that the landing dock on the northwest tip of the island can only be used by powerboaters to pick up or drop off passengers and gear.
Swan Island in Richmond, Maine, is home to the Steve Powell Wildlife Management Area.
3) Kettle Cove, Naushon Island, MA
Boaters in the Buzzards Bay area looking for a great spot to take the family on a fine fall day should check out Kettle Cove, on the north side of Naushon Island in the Elizabeth Islands.
This cove is one of the few spots in the privately-owned Elizabeth Islands where the public is allowed on shore. The beach that skirts the cove is small, but features white sand and clear water that invites snorkeling and swimming. Small boats can be beached on shore, but keep clear of the scattered rocks. Those with larger vessels will need to anchor just offshore.

4) Narrow River, RI
Flowing through the Rhode Island towns of North Kingstown, South Kingstown and Narragansett, the Narrow River (originally the Pettaquamscutt River) is a great fall paddling destination. Even intermediate paddlers can easily navigate its entire six-mile length, from Carr Pond to Rhode Island Sound, in a single day.
The river, which is tidal right up to its headwaters, begins at the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace Museum. Across the street you'll find a dirt parking lot and a narrow path leading to the river. Several other launch spots are available downriver, including Middle Bridge and Sprague Bridge.
Anglers will want to pack a rod, as the river affords good fishing for striped bass and shad. Flounder and bluefish can also be taken closer to the river mouth.

5) Selden Island, Lyme, CT
Boaters and paddlers on the Connecticut River owe themselves a visit to 607-acre Selden Neck State Park in Lyme, just opposite the town of Chester. While there is no official landing site on the island, boaters can anchor just offshore or beach their craft on the banks. Note that there are submerged rocks along some parts of the shore, so approach cautiously.
Trails wind through the wooded island, some leading to the 230-foot summit and past an old farmstead and quarry. Lookout points from the trails provide excellent views of the Connecticut River. Some parts of the island are still privately held, so respect the boundary markers.
Selden Creek, which flows between the mainland and the island's eastern shore, is a beautiful and well-protected spot for birdwatching, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, although larger boats can navigate the peaceful, reed-lined waterway as well. Keep a lookout for osprey, heron, egrets, kingfishers, hawks, beaver, muskrat, deer, and other wildlife along the creek. Autumn is an especially good time to visit to this scenic waterway.
Protected Selen Creek is a wonderful paddling spot. Photo Tom Richardson
6) Norwalk Islands, CT
The Norwalk Islands are a fantastic resource for boaters in southern Connecticut. The archipelago of some 25 low-lying islands not only protects Norwalk Harbor from high seas and inclement weather, they also provide a natural playground for boaters, anglers, birders, beachgoers and clammers.
Cockenoe (pronounced "Kah-kee-nee") Island is owned by the town of Westport, and public access is allowed. The island features a nifty little cove and beach that's filled with snapper bluefish by late summer. Overnight camping is allowed with permission by the Westport Conservation Department.
The Norwalk Recreation & Parks Department manages Shea Island and smaller Grassy Island to the east. Both are stony, scruffy tracts of land. Seasonal camping is allowed on these islands by permit from the Norwalk Recreation & Parks Department. Two solar-powered restrooms are available in season, and there are 16 campsites. The shoreline is strewn with boulders, making it a somewhat difficult place to approach by boat.

For these of us out there who really have a ardour for decorating it's greater than only a nice move time it is their way of life. Like the martial arts adorning is all about finding a style that you simply like perfecting your technique but, you may by no means grasp it till you are able to take what you've learned and reshape it till it is uniquely your personal work. Because when someone walks into your property you want it to tell them a story. The story of who you're as an individual, your likes along with dislikes and all the pieces that makes you, you. That is why we as decorators and designers continuously are on the look out for extra concepts.
If you ever wanted to get rid of that previous nasty carpet but didn't wish to pull out the big bucks for a professional to put in hard wood flooring then do I have the greatest thought for you. For those out there who always wanted hardwood floors but couldn't afford it there are snap in arduous wood flooring. Simply merely reduce them into per length and they actually snap in to position. This manner not solely do you get out of paying installation fees however you also get the flooring you at all times wished quick, easy and in a snap.
Decorating your bedroom is the toughest part of adorning for your residence. Normally if you wish to redecorate your room you would need to fully change your mattress set which means a new comforter, new sheets, new pillow circumstances, and a brand new headache. However, there's a simple and value efficient way to forestall this. Quilt covers are sadly the most underneath used and over looked bedding which is unfortunate. This bedding is great simply place the quilt cowl over your present comforter and button,zip, or snap close and you have a totally new bedding. There are duvet cover units that come with matching shams, sheets & pillows. When you look fastidiously enough there are lots of new and different ways to enhance your house simply.

A székelységet megjelenítő legrégibb címerábrázolások, a legkorábbi címerek, Zsigmond király uralkodásának időszakára, az 1387-1437 közötti évekre esnek.

Két féle változatot ismerünk. A címerpajzs formája lekerekített, hegyesszögű, és a háromszögcímer, mely mindkettőnél azonos. A legrégebbi 1436-ig használt változatban kék színű háttérben egy páncélos jobb kar látható, mely egy egyenes kardot tart. A kardon a markolatnál átszúrt, levágott medvefej, felette egy vörös szív, a kard végén pedig egy lebegő ötágú leveles korona figyelhető meg. (Hasonló ábrázolást láthatunk az egykori Háromszék vármegye címerénél, vagy Marosvásárhely és Székelyudvarhely jelenlegi címereinél.)

Miután a székelyek jól őrizték az ország keleti és délkeleti végeit, ezért Zsigmond királytól 1437-ben jutalmul új címert kaptak: az aranyló naparcot és növekvő ezüst holdarcot, mely a későbbiekben Erdély összetett címerében is megjelenik.

Christopher Columbus Essay Samples and Topic Ideas
The outstanding navigator Christopher Columbus entered Spanish history. You may be asked by a history or geography teacher to write a Christopher Columbus essay. In the article, you can tell the biography of the navigator. For example, note that Columbus came from a poor but respectful family of the weaver-clothier Dominico Colombo from Genoa. The future navigator worked in his father's workshop, but from an early age, he dreamed of traveling.
They also expect you to write about Columbus's famous expeditions. An equally exciting event is the story of his illness. In an essay, you can write what significance Columbus's discoveries have for the world. For example, Columbus's travels showed the possibilities of sailing on ships of that time across the ocean. Write how you feel about the sailor and why you are interested in this topic. If you don't have time to create paper, experienced writers can help you out.
Christopher Columbus used Ptolemy's estimation to travel to the Far East by his voyage but he ended up in a continent hiding 28% error from his target. It means Eratosthenes calculations and estimation of the earth's circumference was more accurate. Finding the Northwest Passage by the Kingdoms of the Western Europe was essential because it provided a way establishing relationships with countries like China and America to trade with and make lots of wealth out of it. Christopher Columbus established such routes and founded the continent of America in 1492 through the coastal regions of Africa among other adventurers like Martin Frobisher and John Cabot.

Huey Long
(person) by SheThing Mon Nov 13 2000 at 17:28:20
Huey Pierce Long, Jr., 1893-1935
Charismatic and autocratic Depression-era Louisiana politician, Huey P. Long emerged as one of the most extraordinary figures in the history of American politics. Known as the "Kingfish" of Louisiana, Huey's stranglehold on Louisiana politics overshadowed his social reforms and radical welfare proposals.
Huey Pierce Long was born in 1893 into a poor family. In spite of his meager upbringing, he obtained enough formal schooling to pass the state bar examination. Politically ambitious, he took a post as Railroad Commissioner at the age of 25. He constantly criticized giant Standard Oil, which won him popularity and praise. This led to an unsuccessful bid for governor in 1924. He ran again in '28 and won--largely due to the support he garnered from ignored rural areas. Long was the champion of poor whites and his flamboyant oratory style won him national attention. His stand on social equity provided a much needed diversion for his shady autocratic dealings.
Long surrounded himself with bodyguards and was known for dictating orders to his legislature with implied threats. When he made his Senate bid, he illegally fired the elected lieutenant governor and replaced him with one of his own yes men.
Once in the Senate, he developed his famous Share the Wealth program and coined the phrase: "every man a king." Much of the country was still licking its Depression-era wounds and the program Long outlined made him a smashing success. He had the presidency in mind and polls taken during this time showed that he had millions of supporters. Huey even published an autobiography called Every Man a King to bolster the idea that he was just a regular guy to the American people.
Unfortunately for Long, his dreams of the White House would end in 1935 when he was murdered by the son-in-law of a judge he had vilified in the press.

Huey Long is among America's most colourful and influential politicians, who ruled Louisiana with an iron fist from 1928-1935, before he was untimely gunned down by Dr. Carl Austin Weiss.
Huey Pierce Long, Jr. was born on August 30, 1893, in Winnfield, Louisiana, son of Huey P. Long Sr. and Caledonia Tison Long. He was seventh of nine children (four boys and five girls), and quickly showed talents of intelligence and memory from an early age. He attended the local Winn Parish high school, but was expelled in 1908 for circulating a petition asking to fire the principal.
From an early age Huey displayed a penchant for rebellion. He never got along with his overbearing mother, and hated being forced to attend church and school. From a young age he despised being told what to do, and always sought to dominate over others, a trait carried for the rest of his life.
Naturally, Huey would not live at home for very long, so in 1909 at age 16 his friend Harley Bozeman got him a salesman job with Cottolene, a company that made cooking oil from cotton seeds. Huey's territory was Northern Louisiana, and almost immediately he gained a reputation as being able to "sell anybody anything". He had the amazing ability to remember every face and person he visited; years later, when campaigning in northern Louisiana, this asset would come in handy, as people were impressed that he had remembered their names.
In 1910, as part of a Cottolene promotional, Huey had been assigned the task of organizing a Shreveport cooking competition. One of the entrees, Rose McConnell, immediately got Huey's attention, not for her chocolate cake (which Huey later admitted as being "sub-par"), but for her flowing brown hair and large chestnut eyes. Rose and Huey immediately hit it off, and on April 21, 1913, they were married.
Meanwhile, Huey had decided to focus his talents and get a law degree. He enrolled at Tulane University Law School (in New Orleans) in September 1914, and for the next eight months studied like mad, often forgetting to eat and sleep. In May 1915 he used a contact through his law teacher to take the Bar exam, which Huey passed, becoming Louisiana's youngest certified lawyer at age 22. He then moved back to his hometown of Winnfield, where he set up a law practice and was quickly renowned for his winning tactics and superb oratory skills in the court. He gained enough prestige to open a practice in Shreveport, Louisiana's second largest city, and quickly became well-off, financially.
Railroad Commissioner Long
Ever since he was a child, Huey had aspired to be a politician, and by the time he was 14, he knew exactly his goals, and how he was going to get there. As he told a friend in 1911, "I'm going to get a small-time position, gain a reputation, then run for Governor. From there, I'll run for the U.S. Senate, then the Presidency". Ultimately, Huey's goal was to be President and dominate everybody around him, a goal which may have been realized had he not been assassinated.
In 1917, a year before the Louisiana general election, Huey had been mulling his choices for the position he had wanted to run for. He had considered running against his brother Julius for district attorney of Winn Parish, but declined in return for Julius' support elsewhere. Huey's friend Harley Bozeman pointed out that the North Louisiana seat on the three-member Railroad Commission was vacant, and urged Huey to run for this post. Huey agreed, and in 1918 campaigned all over north Louisiana, visiting (and remembering) some of the same homes he had visited years earlier selling Cottolene and Wine of Cardui. Huey defeated his challenger, Burk A. Bridges, a patrician landowner, by a vote of 7,286 to 6,651.
As a lawyer, Huey had been renowned for fighting against big business - namely, John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. Now that Huey was one of three railroad commissioners (who regulated railroads and oil and gas pipelines in Louisiana), he carried his fight on the political scene. He immediately attacked anyone who would not support him as "feeding out of the hands of Standard Oil", and made moves to declare the pipelines as public utilities, which would bring them under his control. In 1922, he was made Chairman of the commission, and after launching vitriolic attacks against then-governor John M. Parker, decided to run for Louisiana governor in 1924, at the tender age of 31.
Long Our Next Governor
Long knew from the outset that he was a long shot for Governor, but his inherent impatience dictated that he at least try. He had many factors running against him - he did not have any real political organization set up (as opponents Fuqua and Bouanchaud did), he didn't receive the endorsement of any newspapers, and he was relatively unknown in the Cajun or Florida parishes, in South and East Louisiana.
One must remember that Huey wasn't running for governor against Henry Fuqua and Hewitt Bouanchaud, rather he was only running in the Democratic primary to nominate their gubernatorial candidate. However, like in other Southern states, the Democratic party was virtually the only party around - the Republicans were identified as the party of Yankee northerners and blacks - so the Democratic primary was essentially the election. As such, Huey campaigned tirelessly across Louisiana, trying to increase his state-wide profile, and made twice the speeches and covered three times as much ground as any of his other opponents. Here he also met the future Lousiana Secretary of State, and Huey's personal secretary, confidant and mistress, eighteen-year-old Alice Lee Grosjean.
On election day, January 15 1924, cold, wind-whipped rains fell across Lousiana, driving away many of the country folk, Huey's pillar of support. This was reflected in the results, Bouanchaud 84,162; Fuqua 81,382; and Huey Long, 73,985. Despite his shortcomings and difficulties, Long did remarkably well, winning an absolute majority in 21 (of 64) parishes, and having a plurality of votes in 7 others. State-wide, he had 20% of the vote, but in New Orleans, critical for any aspirant governor, he only received 17.7% of the city total. Long's supporters would later flock to Fuqua in the run-off, making Henry Fuqua Lousiana's next governor.
Biding His Time
Huey Long did not fret over the loss; the fact that he received nearly 74,000 votes was remarkable in itself. Huey knew that he had to do three things: 1, Establish a state-wide political organization; 2, Increase his votes in the South; and 3, Increase votes in New Orleans. Huey immediately campaigned for the re-election of US senator Joseph Ransdell, who was Catholic and held some sway in the South. Two years later, in 1926, Huey campaigned for the re-election of US Senator Edwin Broussard, a French Catholic from the Cajun parishes. This greatly increased Huey's exposure in the South, and cemented his popularity there.
Huey also developed a political organization, which soon grew large after a Shreveport businessman donated $40, 000 to Long for representing him in court. He and his supporters went around Louisiana, trying to drum up support, and Huey's vitriolic, energetic speaking style attracted most poor, rural voters. Despite Huey's gains in popularity, though, New Orleans still remained a hostile place toward him. However, by 1928, Huey Long was ready for another try at the Governorship, and this time, nobody would stop him.
Governor Long
In 1927, Huey Long announced for Governor and immediately launched into a frenzied, 600-speech 15,000-mile campaign. Long's reputation for ad hominem attacks were cemented during this time; an example is when he gave a speech in Shreveport, denouncing the anti-Long mayor "Wet Jug" Thomas, where he accused Thomas of:
Being friends with black Republican leader Walter Cohen (back then, it was embarrassing to be friends with either a Republican or a black, let alone both)
Being so odorous that a skunk could not stand being in the same room as him, and
Being a trough feeder and a low-down, dirty thief and liar
A Shreveport newspaper said that Huey made so many insults, that "if code duello was still in force, Huey wouldn't live a week"
Despite his vitriolic speeches, Huey did have some real platform issues. In 1928, Lousiana had the worst highway system in the entire US, having only 331 miles of paved roads and three bridges statewide, none over the Mississippi River which divided the state in two. Huey Long pledged to immediately begin road and bridge construction, which would help infrastructure and employ thousands of poor. As well, Louisiana also had abysmal health care and education systems, so Long pledged free schoolbooks for all primary schoolchildren, improvement of Louisiana State University, and improvements to health care.
With a solid platform and massive support, opponents Riley J. Wilson and Governor Oramel Simpson (Fuqua died in 1926) realized they had no chance against Long. When the votes were counted after election day January 17 1928, the results were as follows: Long, 126,842 (43.9%); Wilson, 81,747 (28.3%); and Simpson, 80,326 (27.8%). Although Long did not have the needed 50% majority to win outright, Oramel Simpson pledged his votes to Long, in return for a lucrative Long government post. In the "real" governor's election in April, Long beat a Republican nonentity 92,941 to 3,733.
Almost immediately after election, Huey began his stranglehold on Louisiana. He appointed the Senate president and speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, but in an unprecedented move told them exactly which legislators to appoint to the various councils and committees (only 18 of 100 representatives were pro-Long, and 9 of 39 senators. Huey knew who to put on committees). As well, Huey would often stride into the Legislature uninvited, and tell the legislators what to do. Once, a representative thrust a copy of Louisiana's State Constitution in his face, to which Huey replied "I'm the Constitution around here now". By the end of the 1928 legislative session, Huey had managed to ram through his most important legislation, free schoolbooks for children and a $30 million bond issue to build highways and bridges.
In addition to legislative means, Huey also used patronage and intimidation to get supporters. Through patronage appointments he gained control of the State Health Board, the State Transportation Board and the Public Services Commission, among others. As well, any anti-Long legislators or politicians who threatened to vote against Huey were told that one of their relative's asylum pasts would soon become front page news on Long's newspaper the Louisiana Progress. Long also required all managerial-level state employees to sign undated letters of resignation, including his Lieutenant-Governor Paul Cyr.
By March 1929, Huey Long had predictably angered a lot of people. A group of 29 representatives, called the "Dynamite Squad", met regularly to discuss anti-Long tactics. There were grumblings of impeachment everywhere, but the shoe finally dropped in late March 1929.
Huey Long had proposed a 5 cent barrel tax on any oil refined in Louisiana, which meant that would directly affect Standard Oil's giant refinery in Baton Rouge. Standard Oil threatened that they would pull out of Baton Rouge if the measure passed (thereby unemploying half the city's workforce), but Huey pressed on nonetheless. This enraged the Squad, who on March 26, after a wild day in the legislature, submitted 18 articles for impeachment of Huey Long.
For the next month, these articles were debated and voted upon by the Louisiana House of Representatives, whom Huey was unable to buy or bribe. In the end, they approved eight articles of impeachment, including:
Bribery and attempted bribery of legislators
Seeking to intimidate the press
Misappropriation of state funds
Incompetency, corruption, and gross misconduct
Using "vile, obscene and scurrilous language"
Although the House voted for impeachment on eight articles, it didn't mean anything until they reached the 39-member senate, who could impeach Huey if they voted on any one of the articles. If impeached, Huey would be stripped of his title as Governor, and forbidden from running for political office again in Louisiana, which for the power-hungry Huey would be worse than death.
Huey's "dream team" of lawyers found a loophole: the Senate had to approve of the articles by a 2/3 majority, so if Huey's team could get 14 senators to pledge support for him, then the proceedings could not continue (this legal strategy is called a Round Robin). Huey and his team managed to "convince" 15 senators to vote in his favour, and they all signed an affidavit saying they would vote against impeachment no matter what. Since Huey had over the 1/3 needed to prevent the proceedings, the judge overseeing the proceedings declared them to be "useless", and adjourned the senate. Huey had beat impeachment, and he had emerged a more power-hungry, extreme man.
Senator Huey
As you may recall earlier, Huey's plan from childhood was to become governor, then senator, then president. Now, in mid-1929, after fighting off impeachment, and his popularity rising, Huey decided to run for United States Senator in 1930. Immediately, he began campaigning again against Sen. Joseph Ransdell, whom Huey had supported back in 1924. They both fought a bitter, long, protracted fight, but in the end, Huey was the victor, winning 149,640 (57.3%) votes to Ransdell's 111,451(42.7%).
Despite his victory in Louisiana, Huey wanted to remain governor until 1932, the next scheduled governor's election. He had recently had a disagreement with Lt. Gov. Paul Cyr, and so until Long could find a replacement for his Lt. Governor, he could not resign as governor because he, quote, would not "let Cyr be governor for a single goddamn minute". In the meanwhile, he consolidated his grip on Louisiana, instituting the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), a separate organization responsible only to the governor, which could arrest and detain anybody without warrant. This meant that Huey had complete control of his opposition. In 1931, Huey dismissed Cyr on a technicality, and replaced him with pitiful yes-man Oscar K. Allen, who was elected "governor" in 1932. In reality, Allen took all of his marching orders from Long, and didn't have an independent bone in his body, allowing Long to be both senator and control Louisiana at the same time.
On January 25, 1932, Long arrived in Washington to accept his title as senator, in a typically lavish private coach. Immediately upon being seated in the Senate, he became a massive nuisance, spewing vitriolic insults at senators from his own party (Democrats), and his first bill proposed to "prevent anyone in America from making more than $1,000,000 per year". Naturally, this was defeated, but it didn't stop Huey from proposing more and more absurd bills, including one that would require all Jew's harp manufacturers to make them according to his specifications.
While Huey initially supported Franklin Delano Roosevelt, after his election Roosevelt refused to give Huey patronage power for federal positions in Louisiana, which greatly undermined Huey's own power there. As soon as New Deal legislation was passed in 1933, Roosevelt's own men distributed welfare checks across Louisiana, making him more popular than Huey, understandably enraging the junior senator. Huey countered by releasing his autobiography "Every Man a King" in September 1933, which outlined his populist stances on welfare reform and taxation while highlighting his own poor, working-class roots.
On August 27, 1933, things became worse for Huey. While attending a birthday party on Long Island, Huey proceeded to drink himself stupid, and did all sorts of rude things such as taking a fat woman's food away, saying "you're too fat already. I'll eat this", and urinating on a man who was blocking the urinals. The press had a field day with this, dubbing him "Huey Pee Long", and nationwide, especially in Louisiana, his popularity began to plummet. While on a speaking tour in Louisiana to boost his popularity, he was pelted with rotten fruit, vegetables and eggs. In a desperate bid to reverse this trend, Huey decided that the time had come to implement new populist economic measures in Louisiana and nationwide, culminating in the Share our Wealth club.
Share Our Wealth
Founded by Huey Long on February 5 1934, the Share Our Wealth society was a plan to make "every man a king". Huey encouraged people across America to set up local clubs, and if they wrote to Huey Long's senate office they would be officially recognized. The basic tenets of SOW went like this:
No family in America would make less than two or three thousand dollars per year
The average family income would be $5,000 per year
All fortunes over $5,000,000 would be confiscated
All yearly income, or gifts/inheritances of over $1,000,000 would be subject to a 100% tax (confiscation)
This wealth would be redistributed to the poor through money, goods, and company stocks
Naturally, in the depths of the Depression (where less than half of America's families were making more than $1,250 per year), this was extrememly appealing to many Americans. By July of 1935, A year and a half later, there were 7,682,768 members in 27,431 clubs in all 48 states, and approx. one in every 20 Americans was a member. There were even 17 clubs meeting in Ontario, Canada, where Huey's radio broadcasts could be heard. This created a massive, grassroots support base for Huey, who began to present an actual threat to FDR in the 1936 election.
Presidential Aspirations
By 1935, Huey had achieved all of his objectives in life, and saw no reason why he would not eventually be the President of the United States. He knew he couldn't win in 1936, but this was part of his plan to the Presidency. He would announce as a candidate for the Democratic party in 1936, against incumbent Franklin D. Roosevelt, and make a lot of noise. When he lost, he would announce a third party, a "Share the Wealth" party, whose candidate (not Long himself) would draw millions of liberal votes away from FDR, thus defeating him. After four years of misery under a Republican president, Huey planned to rise to the platform in 1940 as "America's Saviour". Had Huey not been killed in 1935, this plan may have worked, and would have almost certainly defeated FDR. While Huey worked dilligently on this plan throughout 1935, he didn't think he had enough power yet in Louisiana, so he started to implement almost draconian measures there, many of which infringed on freedom of speech and press.
Throughout late 1934 and 1935, Huey Long had called numerous "special sessions" of the Louisiana legislature to implement new policies. By this time, there was no effective opposition, and most of the legislators were mindless yes-men. Apparently, Huey decided he needed more power, so he passed a series of stifling motions, some of which included:
The state government could appoint any teacher, councillor or city position, removing the power of municipalities.
New Orleans Tax Act: Prevented the city of New Orleans from collecting any taxes, effectively bankrupting the city. Later repealed when they joined Huey Long's ranks.
State Board of Censors Act: This board, responsible to the governor, could prohibit any movies from being shown in Louisiana, including newsreels
Henry B. Pavy: This sole anti-Long judge on the Louisiana Supreme Court was gerrymandered out of his seat, as were several other anti-Long district court judges.
State Civil Service Commission: Gave complete power over all fire and police stations to the Governor, who could arbitrarily hire or fire any policeman or fireman
State Elections Board
: Had the power to count and confirm all ballots cast in a Democratic primary - essentially gave the power of elections to Long, and only for those elections that mattered.
State Printing Board: would solely determine which newspapers were to be the "official printer" for a region - namely, printing notices for parishes, municipalities and school boards. For many small newspapers, this meant the difference between life and death, and as a result many small anti-Long newspapers drastically changed their stances to pro-Long
Advertisement Tax: stated that a tax of 2% would be levied on all advertisements for newspapers with over a 20,000 person distribution. Since all newspapers that size in Louisiana were anti-Long, some, like the New Orleans Times-Picayune, became pro-Long in a hurry, to encourage a tax "exemption".
Huey Long also became increasingly violent with his enemies. When, on January 25 1935 a group of 300 armed protestors overtook the East Baton Rouge Courthouse to protest Long's policies, Long responded by placing Baton Rouge under martial law, and forbidding the formation of crowds and the "carrying, transporting, selling or buying of firearms". Baton Rouge was renamed "First Military District", and put in the command of the BCI commander, General Guerre. Martial Law was imposed until July.
On Sept. 8, 1935, Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, Louisiana's formeost eye-ear-and-throat doctor, rose from his family's dinner table and said he was going to make a "house call" on a patient. Instead, he put a cheap Belgian .32 automatic pistol in his pocket, and set out for the capitol building. He had been angered at the fact that Huey was going to claim that Judge Pavy (mentioned above) had "tainted blood" (basically, that he had black ancestry in his blood). This was the highest insult anybody could give anyone in Louisiana, and as it happened, Judge Pavy's daughter was Dr. Weiss' wife. It could ruin the family's reputation, as well as Weiss' thriving practice.
At approx. 8:45 PM, Weiss walked into the large, marble lobby of the Capitol building, and waited for Huey to arrive, standing behind a large marble pillar. At 9:15 PM, Huey came striding out of his office with his entourage of bodyguards, and at once Weiss stepped out and shot Huey once in the abdomen. Huey yelled out and ran back down the hall, when his trigger-happy bodyguards opened fire and riddled Weiss' body with over 60 bullets. One of the bullets ricocheted off the marble wall, hitting Huey in the lower spine, when he promptly fell. After being rushed to hospital, Huey died 30 hours later from a kidney infection caused by Weiss' bullet.
Huey's funeral on Sept. 10, 1935, was the largest ever in Louisiana history. Over 175,000 people packed the square in front of the Capitol building to see the funeral procession. After Huey's death, O.K. Allen became the actual governor, and in 1939, his brother Earl K. Long would become governor. Huey left an indelible mark on Louisiana politics for the next 30 years, and he was the closest thing America ever had to a dictator. Many attempts have been made to discover his true character, but Huey himself put it best when he said "I am Sui Generis - Leave it at that (one of a kind)".

Royal buildings
Whitehall Palace - places within
Cockpit (Whitehall Palace)
Cockpit (Whitehall Palace): Summary
Constructed in 1529 as a tennis court, a bowling alley, and a tiltyard, and also for cock fighting, it was redesigned in 1629 by Inigo Jones for Charles I as a private theatre. Charles II updated it in 1662. Samuel Pepys attended several plays here.
The location shown on the map is approximate, based on this 1680 map and p.478 of the Latham & Matthews Companion .
Paul Miller on 3 Feb 2003 • Link
Cockpit, against the Privy Garden, W. It is a part of the Royal Palace of Whitehall, standing in a Street situated betwixt two Gateways; the one fronting Charingcross, and the other Westminster Abby. Here the Principle Secretaries of State generally keep their Offices.

"In 1680, it [the Cockpit] was occupied by the Duke of Albemarle in his official capacity as Master of the Great Wardrobe, and later by Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu in the same capacity."

In this article about the history of Downing Street, it says that prior to the Restoration Mrs. Hampden lived in Hampden House at this location. Downing had to wait for the end of the extended Hampden lease before he could build the famous street we know today.
During Charles II's time Hampden House became known as "the House at the Back" and the Albemarles lived there.
The article includes a painting of the Palace of Whitehall by Hendrick Danckerts c. 1660–1679, as viewed from St. James's Park. The "House at the Back" is on the right; the octagonal building next to it is the Cockpit.
So maybe Albemarle used the Cockpit as his office, and Her Ladyship ruled from the House at the Back?

Community Sweeping Away Three Problems at Once
Sweeping Away Three Problems at Once
By David J. Glenn
Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at 9:58 pm | ח' טבת תשע"ה
BROOKLYN -
State Sen. Simcha Felder on Monday speaking with some of the men who will be cleaning 18th Ave. every weekday. (Office of Sen. Felder)
Cleaner streets. More jobs. Better business climate.
When state Sen. Simcha Felder, Assemblyman Dov Hikind and Councilman David Greenfield announced on Monday in front of Goldberg's Supermarket that they would bring all this to Boro Park, it may very well have sounded like simple campaign promises.
But the three were re-elected in November, and are not currently running for anything. The announcement was for something already taking place — Project Sweep.
Felder secured a $100,000 state grant for the project, designed to reduce litter on the street, give jobs to people having difficulty finding them, and help merchants keep the sidewalks clean.
Project Sweep is "wonderful for the community," a manager at an 18th Avenue store said, adding that it will help local businesses avoid at least some of the tickets often given out by the city's Department of Sanitation.
Sanitation agents "will pounce on you as soon as there's a piece of paper on the sidewalk in front of the store," she said — in fact, she had to hire a full-time employee just to make sure the sidewalk would be clean all day.
"A clean and litter-free commercial area instills community pride and encourages more people to visit and shop, which is a win for the neighborhood," Felder said.
The Midwood Development Corporation manages Project Sweep for parts of Brooklyn. In Boro Park, five people are deployed each day Monday through Friday to cover 13th, 16th, and 18th Avenues from McDonald Avenue to 65th Street. They're paid the minimum wage of $8.75 an hour.
"They make us feel appreciated," said Vincent, 38, from Brownsville, one of the recently hired workers. "I really feel good about helping to keep the neighborhood clean."

Preadolescents, teenagers and college-age students all find Dr. Russell Hyken very approachable and so will parents and educators. Parenting an older teen or young adult has many challenges and transitioning into adulthood can be difficult.
What sets Dr. Hyken apart from other educational consultants is not only his demeanor, but also his integral knowledge of the many regional and national programs. His breadth of experience, which includes a tenure as a teacher in addition to work as a school administrator and psychotherapist, is also unique and valuable. His experience in many aspects of teens lives gives him a unique understanding of the problems and the solutions.
Educational evaluations are appropriate not only for young children but are also helpful for high school and college students. Some students find that while they did not struggle in elementary school, their high school years are presenting new challenges and learning difficulties. Educational testing provides strategies to assist these students and help them reach their maximum potential. Dr Hyken's years of experience conducting comprehensive educational evaluations brings not only answers to why a teen or young adult is struggling but also recommendations to determine the right path for your at-risk youth or troubled teen.
It's human nature to hope the difficulties facing your student, troubled teen or young adult will go away, but they often don't. Finding the root of the problem and working on support strategies should be your top priority.
Knowing when a loved one has a serious mental health problem or addiction issue and needs more help than you can provide is difficult to determine and scary to consider. Each troubled individual is different and one's problems may fall on a spectrum from mildly erratic actions to major personality changes. The common thread, however, is that those close to the afflicted person know there is a problem.
Addicts can be stopped. Through a well choreographed intervention with the assistance of an educational consultant, the bottom can be raised and the addict or mentally ill person can find sobriety, stability, and happiness. Further, most individuals want to be helped, but they just don't know where to turn or how to ask. Dr Hyken will bring parents support and direction to get the help their teens so desperately need.
Many families think that addiction issues are primarily related to external substances like drugs, alcohol, and, more recently, legal synthetic drugs. While this is true, addiction can also take many other forms including internet, social media, gaming, and gambling. These internal issues can be difficult for parents to understand because there are not any identified substances. On this show, we will speak with Cali Estes, the addiction coach, about different types of addiction, what behaviors signal a problem, and what parents can do help their struggling family member.
Depression, Bipolar, and ADHD: Dr Hyken and his guest will discuss how symptoms can overlap, confusion with the diagnosing these different issues, personality characteristics of each, and how to determine the proper diagnosis.
Special Needs Financial Planning: How to take care of a family member's needs with J Todd Gentry, Special Needs Financial Planner of MetLife.
As a parent, you want to fix the things that break. If the car breaks, you fix it. If the dishwasher breaks, you fix it. If a leg is broken, you fix it. But when a family member experiences emotional or mental distress, how do you "fix" that? And is it fixable?.
Through "Trust of Care", canines help students develop love, responsibility, and accountability through meeting the physical needs of canines. Students learn how to feed, water, groom, train, exercise, clean up after and, of course, play with the dogs. Through this process, kids better understand trust and emotions as they learn how to train, discipline, lead, and regulate canine behavior. This process lays the foundation of troubled teens to learn empathy, and empathy is the fertile soil where attachment and trust can grow.
Today's discussion will focus on underlying issues, prevention, and signs of eating disorders/body image issues. Ms. Pace will also discus how to create an emotionally safe family environment to initiate discussion about health and nutrition.
Ellen Sheffield Pace is a Psychotherapist in private practice in Richmond Heights. Missouri. Ellen specializes in the treatment of eating disorders and works with individuals and their families affected by this illness.

Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust was established by the Ministry of Defence, English Heritage and other local authorities in the mid-1980s.
Its purpose was to take responsibility for the conservation and future sustainable use of historic buildings, docks and land formerly owned by the Ministry of Defence, and which have a connection with HM Naval Base Portsmouth. These cover a geographical area stretching to Calshot in the west and Sandown, Isle of Wight, in the south and east.
The Trust's main function is that of landlord and guardian of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The majority of buildings and structures in the Historic Dockyard are Grade 1 and Grade 2* Listed Buildings. The Trust is responsible for keeping the historic buildings in a good state of repair and for refurbishing empty or redundant buildings for appropriate new commercial uses. This ensures that the historic buildings and structures are safeguarded for the enjoyment of future generations.
Since its formation in 1986 by the Ministry of Defence and Portsmouth City Council, the Trust has been responsible for over 20 major building projects at a total cost exceeding £90m.
