in office or multimedia uses, along side the retail, and restaurants. They believe that new residents will bring with them new ideas about what is desirable and attractive, including standards for architecture, landscaping, public behavior, noise, and nuisance. Those who uphold the need for gentrification tend to argue cities need urban development to increase a diverse industry to thrive. They see inevitable economic benefit of gentrification though tax revenue, contending that they are able to collect on new businesses and property tax to further support their communities. Developers realize the potential of the neighborhood’s and the new demographic. The demand means they can now invest in better housing options, new retail, office parks, etc. The middle class, artists, musicians, and young working professionals move to poor, crime-ridden neighborhoods. These neighborhoods also tend to have gang activity, drug issues, etc. As a result of the new people moving in they make the area 'cool ', safe, and invest in their surroundings. Maybe open new shops, maybe open a gallery or music space, etc. They see this as a benefit to their new community and attempt keep the affordable. The will argue that they are only evicting the squatters and drug addicts -due to increased police presence. The argue for a safer community, without the loss of memory. Where’s the middle ground? Gentrification is neither good, nor bad - its a byproduct of evolving economies and evolving…

Over the course of the semester I have been volunteering with American Public Square. I have completed around eleven hours so far and have been helping at events hosted by the group. At events I have helped attendants find seats, passed out programs, collected questions from the audience, tracked demographics, and cleaned up once attendees have left. While my acts have seemed small to me, those putting on the programs have said these little things amount to a large burden off their shoulders.…

Communal Areas Cleaning London Do you own a large commercial property, student property, flat share or office block? If you do, then you will have to address cleaning communal areas. The reason is because you must provide residents or visitors to such property with healthy living conditions that stand up to certain standards. You could try and take on such task on your own, but odds are it will be too large a job. By outsourcing the job to a communal areas cleaning company, you can take the…

Also, space would be as free as possible to allow the traffic to flow between activities. For example, I create a cozy area where the children will be free the noise (Mayesky, 2015). Space requirements: My ideal infant classroom would be for 8 infants between ages between 6 weeks to 12 months. It would have a proximity of 500 sq. feet where each child should have a minimum of 35 square feet of usable indoor floor space and 30 sq. feet of sleeping space per child. I should have a minimum 2 feet…

knew there was only one rectangle. After figuring out how many rectangles were in a 1x1 grid I moved onto the 2x2 grid. However, this time I could not briefly look at the grid and know how many rectangles there were. This time when counting the squares I decided that I was going to label each square in the 2x2 grid, like the grid below. Now with the entire 2x2 gird labeled I could give each rectangle I found a “name”. The rectangles that I found for the 2x2 were A, B, C, D, AB, AC, BD, CD,…

Before the man even looked at him, he climbed onto the stage and began writing on the stone. “Can I clear a few things up?” he said. “The book, the title is written in Akkadian. It says, On Triangles, written by Sudines. And the spell? It’s a theorem that can find the length of the hypotenuse of any right triangle. It’s amazing, but it’s not witchcraft.” Using the chalk he sketched out two square frames, each filled with different shapes. “The square frames are equal in size, but there are…

Starting cash: $5,000 Saturday Morning: Wow… I slowly turn in circles looking around. All the buildings are huge and there are so many people. I am standing on the corner of W 47th street and Broadway, standing in front of a Starbucks. I should probably find a hotel.. I pull my phone out of my pocket and pull up google maps. I find the Night Time Square right down the road just past 7th Ave is only about $88 a night, so I grip the straps of my backpack and start walking. I walk past the Phantom…

Ever noticed how quickly time fly’s by? A single day retains only twenty-four hours; ones individual life is contrived up of these single seconds, hours, and minutes. Before it’s even realized that time has passed. How that time was spent is inconsequential. I realized that no matter how that time was used; that day will come to a halt. When it ends there is a series of questions you can ask yourself. In my opinion there is one question that trumps the others. Did I have a positive effect on the…
