While the vegan movement is definitely becoming more mainstream, it has yet to become a standard in parenting. There are, however, quite a few good resources to help. Pick up a copy of VegFamily magazine which is filled with information, resources, recipes and more about vegan families. A few bonuses that come from raising vegan kids is that you usually don’t have to force them to eat their vegetables, and your children should have better health due to their nutrition.

Do a little research and you’ll find plenty of resources and products for those who want to parent the natural way. Google up a search for vegan baby care products and you’ll find various web sites that specialize in natural/vegan products like facial skin care products, apparel, and furniture for the baby, that will help you keep poisonous chemicals away from your child. A few notable stores include KidBean.com which sells a wide array of children’s stuff to the eco-minded parent. And Evo.com and foreue.com which both sell all-natural facial skin care products for the whole family(among other things).

The 19th and early 20th centuries, urbanization resulted from and contributed to industrialization. New job opportunities in the cities spurred the mass movement of surplus population away from the countryside. At the same time, migrants provided cheap, plentiful labor for the emerging factories. The present time world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in the history. In 2008, for the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population will be living in towns and cities. By 2030 this number will swell to almost 5 billion, with urban growth concentrated in Africa and Asia. While mega-cities have captured much public attention, most of the new growth will occur in smaller towns and cities, which have fewer resources to respond to the magnitude of the change. Urban growth, which is mostly due to natural increase, is unavoidable. In principle, cities offer a more favorable setting for the resolution of social and environmental problems than rural areas. Cities generate jobs and income. With good governance, they can deliver education, health care and other services more efficiently than less densely settled areas simply because of their advantages of scale and proximity. However, the speed and size of the growth are not fixed, and vary widely among regions.

Migration is a significant contributor to urbanization, as people move in search of social and economic opportunity.  According to World Bank’s flagship Development Report 2010, it has been said that “Half the world’s people now live in cities, a share that will rise to 70 percent by 2050,” said the World Bank report, citing UN Population Fund statistics. “Of urban population growth (5 million new residents a month), 95 percent will be in the developing world, with small cities growing fastest”. Environmental degradation and conflict may drive people off the land. Often people who leave the countryside to find better lives in the city have no choice but to settle in shantytowns and slums, where they lack access to decent housing and sanitation, health care and education. The more densely populated and more diverse a community is the more accentuated characteristics can be associated with urbanism. Urbanism causes decrease in per capita, and promotes urban violence, political instability, crime and aggressive behavior. Rapid population growth also responsible for poverty in urban areas. Another major issue being created by this social problem is the breaking of the traditional family structure. Our cities in especially in 3 rd world countries are not working well. Sanitation, safety, transportation, housing, education and even electricity are failing. So these urban areas become more vulnerable to any disaster because of its weak structures and poor service utility. During peace time because of frequently displacement of people within an urban areas makes job difficult for the humanitarian agencies to map the vulnerable group of people as a part of urban risk reduction process. Most humanitarian efforts and aid have been focused on rural development rather than the needs of the urban poor. About 810 million people already live in city slums, battling overcrowding, insecure tenure, landslides, flooding, poor sanitation, unsafe housing, inadequate nutrition and poor health. Other than urban earthquake preparedness, humanitarian agencies have not yet focused on emergency response in urban areas with due attention. Recent earthquake in Chile and Haiti point out the weakness and the new challenges, faced by the humanitarian agencies during emergency response.

In our country the GOB has established the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management (MoFDM) as a national focal point for disaster management in Bangladesh. It manages disasters through its three agencies: Disaster Management Bureau (DMB), Directorate of Relief and Rehabilitation (DRR), and Directorate General of Food. As a part of disaster management plan the GOB could initiate draft disaster management act. And regarding the city or urban areas the GOB mainly emphasis the earthquake. The research works and contingency plans are developing mainly based on structural point of view like collapse of building and traffics system, recovery etc. and less emphasis given on the non structural side. These are like physiological effect of the people, political complexity, violence and crime, social cohesion, and fluidity of people. So it needs to develop the urban disaster plan and its legal framework. And professionally act in emergency response phase to face those challenges which we had learnt from Haiti and Chile earthquake.

This study mainly looks for the root causes of those challenges which are faced by the humanitarian agencies during emergency response in Haiti and Chile. And try to focus those in detail with the support of secondary data. This paper took Haiti and Chile earthquake as a case study and tries to bring out the lessons which can be applicable for Dhaka or Chittagong for disaster management. And bring out the limitation of the legal framework and disaster management plan in urban areas by GOB with workable solutions. The limitation of the paper itself is absence of primary data due to time constraint.

For Urbanization a more technical definition is given by the United Nations as “Urbanization means movement of people from rural area to urban areas resulting population growth which is equal to urban migration.” The urbanization processes are largely driven by government development policies and budget allocations, which often favor urban residents over rural areas, tend to pull people into the urban areas. In the cities, public investment, which often misses the urban poor, with expenditures biased towards the higher-income classes and poverty among vulnerable groups such as new migrants force them into slums and squatter settlements. Urbanization may occur for the following reasons.

The urban areas offer better wage-labor opportunity than the rural areas due to the conglomeration of industrial and service sectors (primary and secondary economic activities). On the other hand the rural economic structure is waning because of a variety of reasons like: massive river erosion in rural areas (in Bangladesh), fragmentation of cultivation land, erratic monsoon and failure of crops etc.

When the head of the family is employed in any organization in the urban area, it is seen in many cases his family accompanies him there. So this results in movement to urban areas.

The premium institutes of higher educations are mainly located in the urban areas. So education results in migration to urban areas. Though on the surface it seems to be a temporary one but after education people don’t want to go back to the villages again and they settle in the urban areas for the lucrative job offers they provide. So the temporary migration becomes a permanent one.

When the cities grow the adjacent rural areas are gradually embedded in the urban area and form urban agglomerate. In this way though there is no absolute migration from rural to urban areas still it is a case of urbanization.

The people from rural areas migrated to urban areas for having a better life and enjoying the urban facilities like better medical care, sanitation and food supplies, which reduce death rates and cause populations to grow. In many developing countries, it is mainly the rural poverty that drives people from the rural areas into the city in search of employment, food, shelter and education.

The urbanization is a process and like other process it has got some side effect also. The first process of urbanization started with industrial revolution and afterwards the rate of urbanization increased beyond its capability to sustained especially in Asia, Africa and followed by Latin America. And the process turned into uncontrolled urbanization and creates number of hazards. These hazards can be classified also in the following manner, e.g.

(i)        

(ii)       

(iii)      

Over population due to migration causes a negative impact on urban development and causes pressure on its infrastructure like public transport, law and order situation, education facilities and health care. This unexpected migrant people create an immense pressure on land, water and life line systems of the urban areas. Most major metropolitan areas face the growing problems of urban slump, loss of natural vegetation and open space, and a general decline in the extent and connectivity of wetlands and wildlife habitat. The increased population creates tremendous pressure on demand and consumption of water. It becomes a challenge to supply drinking water especially in urban areas. The excessive use of ground water makes the ground water level lower in every year and creates the possibility of land slide in urban areas. The sanitation and drainage system are collapsed due to heavy rainfall and poor network system. Everyday as many as 30,000 people die from preventable water- and hygiene-related diseases and the children are most prone to the water borne disease. The urbanization process allows its dwellers to have easy accessibility to health care and proper medicine. But the uncontrolled urbanization creates health hazards due to polluted air, sound, water and as well as crime and lifestyle. Unplanned Urbanization has often had psychosocial consequences such as stress, alienation, instability and insecurity; which, in their turn, have led to problems such as depression and alcohol and drug abuse. The more densely populated and more heterogeneous a community is the more accentuated characteristics can be associated with urbanism. Urbanism causes decrease in per capita, and promotes urban violence, political instability, crime and aggressive behavior. Rapid

Since folks are living longer, caregivers now finish up in the position of doing more, in more demanding circumstances, for longer periods, with less help. If they feel they’d little choice in taking on the responsibilities, the chances are that they experience larger strain, distress, and resentment.

Family caregivers who provide care 36 or more hours weekly are much more likely than non-caregivers to exhibit symptoms of depression or anxiousness. For spouses the rate is six times higher ; for those caring for a parent the rate is twice as high.

The strain of family caregiving has been shown to impact a person’s immune mechanism for at least three years after their caregiving ends, therefore increasing their possibilities of developing a prolonged sickness themselves.

]]>

What can family carers do to avoid some of these negative effects of caregiving?

Look after YOURSELF.

This is the most important thing you can do. It isn’t self-centered – it is essential. Research solidly shows the combination of loss, lengthened stress, the physical demands of caregiving, and competing demands on obligations and time place the caregiver at risk for significant health issues as well as an earlier death. If you can not help yourself, you can’t help anybody else, and everyone loses.

GET HELP.

Help can come from community resources, family, mates and professionals. Ask them. Don’t wait until you are overwhelmed and exhausted or your fitness fails. Reaching out for help when you need it is a sign of private strength. Many do not know how to ask for help. You do not want to’burden’ others or admit that you cannot handle everything by yourself . You do not have to do everything, nor does anyone else. Help them be useful, help yourself and help your loved one by building your support.

It gets cleaned properly and the fish mortality rate is also very low. As long as the fish gets more space to swim, it has a longer life. Further, the cleaning of tank and changing of water is also effortless in bigger fish tanks. Second important thing is selecting the fish breeds. The fresh water fish are easy to maintain as they can very well adapt to the environment. The fishes chosen must not harm each other.

Now, coming to one most popular myth of having fish aquariums, i.e. change the water of the fish aquarium every day. This is not right since experts’ advice that water should be changed once in a week and that too not completely. Fresh water should be added to the tank in the ratio of 70:30. Another thing is placement of the tank. Appropriate sunlight must reach the tank so that the fishes can live a healthier life. Next thing is to take care of the food for the fish which comes separately. Never over feed the fish which may even be fatal. More food means more excreta and you will need to clean the tank more often.

With these small and important tips, you can maintain a healthy fish tank. They are loved by children and adults. Their movements are so lovely and graceful that you feel at peace when you see them. Further, it is advised for heart patients to have an aquarium as the movements created by a fish in the water produces vibrations which are good for health. So if you want to maintain pets that too hassle free, without any doubt you must buy a fish aquarium. Sit and watch the fishes gliding in the water and you get what you want the most i.e. inner peace. You feel calm and composed.

Facts

To have an effective community policing the society must be ready and willing to collaborate with police officers in stopping crime. Since, police cannot control crime and uphold law and order simultaneously hence, the dire need for citizen to help them identify the epicenter of crime. For better service delivery, restructuring of police force is inevitable to facilitate smooth integration between citizens and police. There has been long lasting mistrust between these two groups as their conducts more often infringe the freedom and peace of the other one, thus many a times police and public have been at loggerheads (Erickson & Breci, 1998).

To measure effectiveness we are supposed to classify and track measurable and realistic goals for example crime rate. Therefore, effective community policing is of paramount importance to citizens as well as a country at large in safeguarding it prosperity and safety of its people. Crime vulnerable citizens tend to migrate to secure places to protect their properties and lives thus leaving the migrated area under developed. The government should therefore fund more community policing to bring up safer society where developers can feel safe to invest their money.

Violence Reduction

An area free from crime is popular among citizen as prices of such areas escalate tremendously for everyone aspires to reside there. This is then why a crime-infested area is deserted and little or no development takes place whilst reducing violence in such an area attract communities and business environment booms. However, effectiveness of community policing is not clear as carried out research states that foot patrols and community watch programs have no visible effects on violent crime. Other studies dispute community policing by stating that it has done little on elimination of urban aggression. For example according to MacDonald (2002) it is not community policing but upbeat and aggressive police tactics that minimizes homicides and robbery rates.

In spite of these opinions, police interviewed views otherwise, they says that community policing is effective and a fast means of restoring security, but it is only possible through cooperating community. They cite misunderstanding and community lack of cooperation as the greatest obstacle hindering effectiveness of community policing. They further claim that law offenders and criminals exist within communities hence, are well known and sheltered by some people in the very community they terrorize. This unearthing of events lives citizens as the best operators with capacity to terminate crime completely by collaborating with police officers.

Business Development

]]>

According to survey mandated by United States conference of mayors, community policing has been rated as an effective means of nurturing business development and participation in major states contrary to mixed outcome experienced in tackling atrocious crime. This was reinforced by frequent meetings made by community police men and women together with merchants and residents. For example in Denton, Norwalk, Texas and Connecticut residents of these states met and held constructive gathering where they resolved to identify and raise quality of security and order in their surrounding (Miller, Hess & Orthmann, 2010). This scenario opened the door for others as they imitated the same action as their role model, where faith-based and commercial units in Louisiana joined the fray to make crime a history.

Community policing led to escalation of gated community where a particular community was easily able to familiarize with its neighborhood by identifying any suspicious character. In some states like Florida they went high tech by using city enforcement codes to ease the operation of cracking down criminals and creating conducive environment for business and residence. Majority of cities indicated optimistic report from their community policing implementation for almost a decade. Further a report from Department of Justice in smaller towns on community policing advocated perpetuation of community policing strategies more so oral contact. It was found out that face-to-face interaction boosted trust and confidence among police, residents, faith based organizations and commercial entity resulting to apparent mutual cooperative projects.

Strategies in Community Policing

The origin of community policing idea was to foster relationship between community and police to eradicate numerous disorders and rampant crime that besieged that community. It had emerged openly that police were overwhelmed in combating crime; this could not be concealed anymore as it was a potential bomb that could explode unexpectedly. With this glaring reality in their mind, police departments moved with speed to craft community policing strategy to increase crime mitigation techniques through collaborating with citizens (Miller, Hess & Orthmann, 2010). This idea has proved to be worthy as crime rates in a city like Chicago has reduced drastically. However, for this strategies to be viable police must accommodate community in the process from its commencement.

The main goal of initiating this project was to enhance police community partnership. This new phenomenon of problem solving aims at addressing quality of life issues, crime phobia and origins of crime. Ostensibly many police are still reluctant to change making implementation of this idea drag behind. Their change resistance is an ineffective means of managing a police agency where they want to cling to old habit of ‘we can conquer alone attitude.’  For a robust effective community policing tactic there must be positive perceptions about community policing by the law enforcement officers. Second it matters a lot how administrators implement the policy of community policing in their stations and finally, police officers need to be thoroughly skilled with feasible skills needed in community policing. Albeit this strategy was commenced with utmost good faith some of administrators are taking its advantage by embezzling federal subsidies meant for improving community policing. Many questions are being raised about viability of this project if the already released funds are ending in the pockets of officers. Communities have started losing faith with some police department arguing that much of the money is used to hire officers who are in reciprocal doing little or none to fight crime.

Security concern is matter every sane individual care about. When a person wants to settle somewhere one of the major criteria he or she use is personal safety. An area manifested by crime is not conducive to reside as there is no assurance of seeing tomorrow.  As a result of this, how to address community policing and who is in charge of limiting lawbreaking is an issue. To successfully employ radical surgery to police service for maximum utilization of community policing departments need to come up with long term orchestrated strategy. To portray in detail how this policy works we shall assess the case of Chicago.

Chicago’s Community Policing

Community policing in Chicago has been hyped as the best remedy for city crime albeit many hurdles experienced in making it a reality. Chicago community policing almost two decades old as it was founded in 1993 (Peak & Glensor, 1999). It began as an alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) and developed to overall patrol division. CAPS changed citizen perception of police as majority of the resident rated police optimistically on performance, demeanor and responsiveness. Community policing was hoped to bridge the perception gap among different races that were present during introduction of the initiative. A research conducted in five neighborhoods shows that the initiative is upbeat and running citywide. It has been made possible by the support it receives from a well-entrenched mayor in addition to decisive inclusive grassroots participation.

Originally the skimboards had been made out of wood but the fashionable ones are product of either fiberglass or carbon fiber. The modern boards are extra advisable as they float better. They are also available in various shapes comparable to hyperbolic, swallowtail, pintail, etc. Choosing a skimboard in response to your weight is the first requirement. Additionally for being able to stability properly and keep and the board you will have to apply a particular wax. Another choice is to use tail pads identical to those utilized by surfers. These too will stop you from slipping off the board.

Skimboarding is not as easy as it looks. It takes years of apply, dedication and occasional bruises to be good at this sport. Balance is the essential key to even try skimboarding. First you must discover ways to get on to the board. You must stay on the shore with the skimboard in your hand and await the waves to break. The moment you see the perfect opportunity you run in direction of the ocean with the board in your hand. When you reach the wet sand the board is dropped and soared onto the water. Keep in mind you need to simply drop your board and never throw it. The board can be taken by the waves as quickly as you drop it so try balancing yourself on it. Stand upright in order that the board does not lose its momentum. To slip you will have to bend your knees.

It’s going to take a fair quantity of practice to have the ability to carry out this process the way it has been mentioned. However, once you grasp this half you’ll be able to move on to boarding on the waves farther from the shore and ultimately even attempt some tips and stunts. Some extremely skilled skimboarders are capable of performing methods like those professional skate boarders perform. Some highly gifted skimboarders may also carry out aerials. In case you are a person who loves beaches and water sports activities, skimboarding is a sport you should strive out. Who is aware of, you could possibly actually become a master at the sport!

The context of construction for this paper is relatively simple and focuses on a personal need to bring one area of life to a close while opening the door to another. Three years of academic study of Youth & Community work – often related to a Northern Irish context – in England is concluding, while a career in that profession combined with further study beckons. Therefore  a need for the author to fully understand the circumstances in which Northern Ireland resides in 2010. It is also intended that this paper will form the basis of the next period of academic study, further pursuing the issues and history which are touched on briefly in this paper.

To achieve the above, the important historical events which created and shaped the secular communities of Northern Ireland will be analysed and critically discussed. Using arguably the most important document of Anglo-Irish politics, it will be seen how secular has become singular, however is still challenged by the socio-religio-cultural web of influence which has been present. This paper is not placed to answer the questions of what went on previously, perhaps that is a discussion for the future. It will however, analyse key events, people and organisations in respect to the culture, politics and religions of Northern Ireland in order to link it to Community Work’s past failings. Once this has been achieved, recommendations will be drawn out, set out for all interested and engaged parties to see what a viable pathway for development is.

The history of Northern Ireland since it’s conception in 1921 is laden with key events, both positive but often negative. Such is the complexities of the community framework; these historical events have been instigated on very different but interrelated realms, including the influences of; political parties; religious sects; cultural organisations; community & residents groups; the British & Irish governments; international leaders and paramilitary organisations.

When attempting to analyse where our current facet of community has come from, it’s important to look at more recent key events rather than delving into the deep rooted past of over twenty years ago. This said, context remains important, and will be primarily called into question to understand developments of the society.

On the 30th of January, 1972 (Museum of Free Derry; 2005), thirteen men were shot dead by the British Army in Londonderry while taking part in Civil Rights Movement march which had been banned. While many believe these actions – and others relating to the social mobilisation of Catholics in this period – by the British Army to be the conception of thirty years of violence in Northern Ireland (Probert; 1978), the march itself was part of a wider series of events organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) (Widgery, Lord; 1972) who were organising against the corruption of a majority protestant local government (Minahan, J.B; 2000 & Lydon, J; 1998) lead by Faulkner. Prior to this in 1970, born out of the uprising of ill-feelings from the nationalist community, the Provisional IRA was created, a ruthless band of militants preparing to take the British State to account with the use of force (McCreary; 1975, Probert; 1978). There has indeed been a number of positive examples of community power coming into action within the country such as The Peace People led by 1976 Nobel Peace Prize winners Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan (Nobel Web AB; 2010 & Peacepeople.com; no date). As the example of the NICRA shows, it can often be overshadowed by the violent acts surrounding it. The NICRA movement and that key march in Londonderry, in personal opinion, must be accredited massively with being the catalyst of change against a corrupt Protestant majority oppressing a Catholic minority. Instead, it is memorialised – and rightly so – by many due to the losses and violence it suffered, and accused by some in the loyalist community as being trouble makers who deserved what they got. Wilson (1998) We will never know if NICRA’s peaceful means could have brought down the Northern Ireland government, rather than it being dissolved into direct rule due to the violent crisis in which the British Government had to be seen to be dealing with swiftly and effective. It is the opinion of this paper that it would have achieved this in a peaceful manner, however the timescale would have been much longer and the struggle against the sectarian government at Stormont much greater.

Many believe The Good Friday Agreement (GFA) was only born out of talks taking place in Stormont from the new year of 1998 up until Easter, however this is a misconception. Many commentators (Craig, J; 2002, Morton, A; 2009) suggest the roots of the GFA where planted at the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1984. Personal feelings sugesst that the Downing Street talks of 1991 and the subsequent risks taken by John Hulme was the catalyst for change. Simply put; there can be little argument against the fact that the events of 1991 sparked a change in paramilitary circles, leading the IRA and Loyalist Ceasefires of 1994. For the first time in almost thirty years, the people of Northern Ireland faced a minimal level of conflict, albeit briefly.

The British Governments acceptance of Sinn Fein lead to a change of psyche within republican circles, and was a long way from the voice bans of the Thatcher years only three years prior (BBC News; 2005). Republicans were accepted into the political talks with British government officials, which not only angered unionists, but hard line republicans in the process as well, in the end, forcing a split which resulted in the Real IRA. It would be foolish to say that this was a cataclysmic event in republican communities, however the choices which the Loyalist and Unionist community of Northern Ireland were about to face would be much more demanding. In personal opinion, the key event which directly led to the development of the GFA was the democratically elected ‘Northern Ireland Forum’ of 1996 (Whyte, N; 2003). This was the first major step towards devolved, cross community government by getting political representatives from all sides of the divide to begin communicating with each other.

In majority Catholic areas, “Concerned Resident’s Groups” received a large amount of publicity by the press surrounding their objections to Loyal Order parades through their areas. These received a lot of criticism in Loyalist circles, as often there would be a distinct connection to Sinn Fein as well as the ‘chairperson’ of many of these groups being found to be not from these areas. A well known example is that of the Garvaghy Road, were Brendan McKenna was leader of the local residents group in protesting against Portadown Orange Lodge’s demands to walk down that particular road (BBC News; 2007). While being leader of this particular residents group in Portadown, he was a resident of West Belfast, over thirty miles away.

Where community work in republican areas have always been associated closely with Sinn Fein, in loyalist areas, the links have not been with political organisations, but more with the paramilitary groups associated with the ‘policing’ of the local area. Of course there have been aligned Political parties such as The Progressive Unionist Party (PUP), and to an extent historically, Ian Paisleys’ Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) were closely aligned to the loyalist workers movements of the 1980′s and was seen as the face of the Ulster Workers Council strike of 1974 due to his opposing of the Sunningdale Agreement (BBC News; no date, Probert; 1978). Indeed, Paisley is regarded as the godfather of Ulster Loyalism and the face of Northern Irish Politics, his famous speech in November 1985 cemented his legacy and outlined the depth of opposition felt towards a more extensive agreement, the Anglo-Irish Agreement, which Prime Minister Thatcher supported due to wanting to create better links between Britain and the Republic of Ireland. In this renowned speech to over 100,000 people at Belfast City Hall, Reverend Paisley stated;

“I want to ask a question today. And the question is simple. Where do the terrorists operate from? From the Irish Republic! That’s where they come from! Where do the terrorists return to for Sanctuary? To the Irish Republic! And yet Mrs. Thatcher tells us that that Republic must have some say in our province! We say NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!”

(Youtube.com; 2009).

This is not to say that the paramilitary’s themselves were openly the face of community work, rather it was well known names of the organisations or ex-members being seen in the press as ‘community workers’ (BBC News; 2009). Grass-roots, front line community workers have a great deal of scepticism surrounding them due to this, and it will take a lot before the general public will be won over by the profession.

Although not totally explicit in its intentions, The Good Friday Agreement does make quite a number of references to Community Work, particularly in respect to reconciliation initiatives (Northern Ireland Office; 1998). In respect to institutions which would be established; The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission would have a “…membership from Northern Ireland reflecting the community balance…” (Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity –  Human Rights -Section 5); Equality Commission to replace four sub-commissions (Section 6) and discussions to further consider a dedicated Department of Equality (Section 7).

Critically, it is Section Twelve of The Agreement which made the most impact for community provisions in Northern Ireland by
