Sidewalk Safety in New York
In her seminal work, Death and Life in the Great American Cities, New Yorker Jane Jacobs articulated her concerns with how the forces of suburbanization are destroying the vitality that has always been associated with great cities such as New York. Though many people believe that suburbanization results in clean and tree-lined sidewalks, Jacobs has found that the suburbanization process has simply increased the number of safe sidewalks in the City.
I have observed Jacob's argument firsthand in my own Brooklyn neighborhood in Canarsie. On the surface, 101st street between Avenues N. And M. present a pretty picture of the multicultural residents living harmoniously on a tree-lined sidewalk. The residents of this street include people of all ages. We have long-term Italian and Irish residents living next door to new immigrants from the West Indies. A casual observer would probably classify 101st street as a typical New...
At night, there is no one on the street to marvel at the modern architectural designs of our two and single-family housing units, our canopy of trees or our street lamp fixtures. Indeed, at night, Brooklyn's "beautiful residential area" turns into a deserted neighborhood.
Because the street was created for dwelling rather than business units, 101st street assumes a new character when the sun sets. Jacobs pointed out that "a deserted street is apt to be unsafe," a fact that feels true for 101st street at night. The canopy of trees that provide shade during the day and the dim streetlamps that enhance the suburban ambiance also provide good cover for crime.
As a woman, I feel very vulnerable walking along this street at night. The lack of pedestrian activity makes the street feel like a natural setting for…
It also seems rather short, and leaves the reader wondering if the researchers could have done more to create a more vital and important document. They did not find the Segway was unsafe, however, and many of the comments of the postal employees who used it were very positive. Other studies go father than many of the findings in this report, including the safety of the transport itself. Another study
This experiment showed that calcium chloride was the most effective substance tested in melting the ice, but only slightly compared to road salt and ammonium nitrate (3.5 minutes versus 4.25 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively). The results also showed that sand and cat litter required far longer (23 and 30 minutes, respectively) to complete the ice melting compared to 45 minutes for the ice that received no treatment at
Bike-Sharing in New York City Anchor intro: It's only been five months since the launch of New York City's bike-sharing program, Citi Bike, and it seems that everywhere you look New Yorkers are on the streets cycling. In fact, more than 200,000 New Yorkers are biking every day, sharing the roadways with motorists and pedestrians. Host: However, the adjustment to having new vehicles not the road has not been problem-free, says Dan
Community Nursing Generally, in any Hospital or Health Care Center, the patient would be looked after and taken care of by the Primary Care team, comprised of General Practitioners, Health Visitors, Practice Nurses, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Dieticians, and a team of Nurses, of which District Nurses or Community Nurses play a major part. Community Nurses or District Nurses usually work in a partnership with Acute Trusts, Hospices, as well as with Social

Police Crisis Intervention A crisis refer to a case, characterized by a precipitating stressor event, a view that an event will lead to distress, and diminished functioning when it is not possible to relieve the distress using known coping resources. Prior studies suggest that studies on crisis intervention started in the late 1940s in reaction to several stressor events. For instance, during the World War people underwent many tribulations, which called
