Maicker Hunt I am also requesting authority, as part of the new system, to provide child care for the 450,000 children of the 150,000 current welfare recipients to be trained. The child care I propose is more than custodial. This administration is committed to a new emphasis on child development in the first five years of life. The cl,3y care that would be part of this plan would be of a quality that will help in the development of the child and provide for his health and safety, and would break the poverty cycle for this new generation. (President Richard M. Nixon)* The federal government of the United States is in the process of making a decision fraught with substantial possibilities for damage or benefit to the coming generation and to the future of the institution of the family. The Nixon Administration has proposed long needed reform in the system known as "Public Welfare."The reform embodied in the Family Assistance Act of 1970 (H.R. 16311) aims to correct the obvious defects of the old system of Aid to Families with Dependent Children.One provision provides for eligibility for federal assistance on the basis of low income alone.Another provision endeavors to encourage rather than discourage the incentive to work by allowing °lose eligible to keep a substantial share of wages from their work. Those ("tc; r c, are also required to register for and accept work or training for wor. rder to receive the benefits, although these stipulations do not ,pply to mothers with children under six years of age. This provision ineludes federal support for Day Care of the children of parents receiving assistance. Despite the words of President Nixon, the debate continues as to whether this Day Care will be essentially custodial or will have a strong education, mental health, and family fostering component.A variety of factors, including the increasing participation of women in the world of work, suggests that a revolution in child-rearing is very likely. Federal support of Day Care would encourage this revolution; thus, the nature of the Day Care fostered carries with it tremendous implications for the quality of the next generation and for the future of the family. Federal support for Day Care of young children has a history, but it has never existed on such a scale as that now contemplated--a scale which is sufficient to influence child-rearing and family life in America.Federal support for the Day Care of young children came into being in 1933 when President Franklin Roosevelt persuaded the Congress to authorize emergency nursery schools to provide work for adults on relief and to serve children of families with inadequate incomes.This concern has since taken various forms, for various purposes. In 1935, Title V of the Social Security Act authorised both grants-in-aid to the Public Welfare agencies of the states for child services which included Day Care and grants for research and Day Care. * Family Assistance Plan, August 11, 1969. II: The New Federalism: Addresses and Statements. Office of the President, p. 26. vi \ In 1936, Congress earmarked $6,000,000 of the funds appropriated for the Works Progress Administration for Day Care in order to provide jobs for women. At the peak of this program, approximately 75,000 children were served in 1,900 of these depression-instigated nursery schools. During this same year, the Farm Security Administration built Day Care centers for the children of migratory farm workers. In 1937, the Federal Housing Act was amended to permit loans for community facilities which included Day Care. In 1941, the Children's Bureau and the Office of Education organized a Joint Planning Board to provide child care services for mothers employed in the industrial efforts of World War II, and in 1943, the Lanham Act provided $51,000,000 for 3,100 local Day Care centers for the children of mothers employed in the war effort. When such federal funding was no longer available in 1946, almost all of these Day Care centers closed. By 1959, approximately five times as many women were working as in 1940; however, according to a survey conducted by the Children's Bureau and the Women's Bureau, Day Care was available for only 2.47. of working mothers in 1959. As a consequence, in 1962, Title IV-B, an amendment of the Social Security Act, provided for child welfare services that included Day Care. The initial appropriation of $400,000 grew to $6,000,000 in 19v:. Thus, although federal support for Day Care is not new, the amount of L'ais support has been too limited to have any appreciable effect upon the institution of the family or cn child-rearing customs. In Project Head Start, inaugurated in 1964 under the broad authority of the Economic Opportunity Act, the federal government recognized a responsibility for the inequalities of opportunity among pre-school children. Implicitly recognizing that many of the children of the poor lack the opportunities to develop which are taken for granted in a majority of the middle class families, Project Head Start initially mounted an eight week part-day program of nursery schooling in order to compensate children of the poor for opportunities their families could not provide. When it became evident that such programs failed to raise appreciably the achievement of those children of the poor who participated, the effort was extended to full-day, year-round nursery schooling.

    resources Article Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin Lea Becker, Sabine Wichmann and Volker Beckmann * Faculty of Law and Economics & Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, University of Greifswald, Soldmannstr. 15, D-17489 Greifswald, Germany; [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (S.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3834-420-4122 Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 12 December 2020; Published: 16 December 2020 Abstract: Reed has a long tradition as locally available thatching material, but nowadays thatch is a globally traded commodity. Germany and other major importing countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark rely on high import rates to meet the national consumption. This study aimed at providing a detailed picture of the thatching reed market in Northern Germany and at assessing the market potential for reed of regional origin. A written survey among all thatchers in Northern Germany was carried out in 2019, arriving at an effective sample of 47 out of 141 companies. The results revealed that for the responding companies the majority of the reed (59%) was used for rethatching roofs completely, 24% for newly constructed roofs, and 17% for roof repairs. Reed from Germany held a low share of 17% of the total consumption in 2018. Own reed harvesting was conducted by less than 9% of the responding companies and given up during the last decades by another 26%. The total market volume of reed for thatching in Northern Germany was estimated for 2018 with a 95% confidence interval at 3 0.8 million bundles of reed with a monetary value at ± sales prices of ¿11.6 2.8 million.

  • Farmhouse Can Xicarró
    FARMHOUSE CAN XICARRÓ GRAPHIC AND HISTORICAL STUDY OF THE FARMHOUSE IN VILANOVA I LA GELTRÚ AUTHOR: SERGIO LÓPEZ BAREA BUILDING ENGINEERING TUTOR: BENET MECA ACOSTA FINAL DEGREE PROJECT CALL: OCTOBER 2012 Introduction After making various visits and compiling a variety of information, the focus of this thesis will be on The farmhouse Can Xicarró which is located in Polygon 1 42 (b) Vilanova i the Geltrú (Barcelona) This thesis will focus on the masía’s astonishing history and architecture, factors which inspired me to research and study this project. In order to develop this thesis, a series of sketches were carried out in which information about floors, elevations, sections and details were compiled. On the other hand, in order to complete the historical analysis, photographs and books about farmhouse were researched. The records of this spectacular construction show that there has been housing in Can Xicarró since 1497, in other words, only five years after the discovery of the Americas. It should be noted that it was formally known the Farmhouse of the Planas which was owned by Pere Ballester. Subsequently Manuel Olivella Sama acquired it in the nineteenth century, and converted it to a Neo-Mudejar style characterized by stone arches, ornate tiles and brick. At this time it was fashionable to demonstrate wealth. The location had many hectares of vineyards, which were used for the production of the wine and were stored in the warehouses adjacent to the main house. Due to the small stature of the owner, the name of Las Planes was changed to Xicarró, meaning “little man” in Catalan.

Park, Australia 1 ISBN 978-0-6485799-1-5 Preface and Acknowledgements Since the ICOMOS International Wood Committee, IIWC, was established in 1975, the need for a set of conservation principles has been a continuous theme in the Committee’s ongoing discussions and activities. In a session of the of the 19th General Assembly of ICOMOS held in Delhi on 15th December 2017 the new IIWC ‘Principles for the Conservation of the Wooden Built Heritage’ were adopted as ICOMOS doctrinal text. These new ‘Principles’ replace those adopted previously in 1999. After the success of the 2018 symposium organized in York (UK), the challenge was to take a step further with the organization in the Basque country of a symposium and a course intended to amplify the effort in order to give a focus of a holistic approach to wooden heritage conservation that extends beyond structures to include together with the materiality of wood construction, its complex intangible side. Its scope included the diversity of professions involved, possible approaches and processes, from a global perspective and their adaptations to the conservation of local wooden heritage. This document is the publication, result of the papers presented at the 22nd IIWC International Symposium, held in Bilbao between September 29 and 2 October 2019, under the umbrella of the Summer Courses of the University of the Basque Country. This Symposium wouldn’t have been possible without the support, help and involvement of many people and organizations.

  • Family Route
    FAMILY ROUTE Distance: about 800 m Duration: about 75 minutes The open-air museum Hessenpark offers an especially interesting and diverse experience for families. The family route lets children and adults alike discover how people in Hesse used to live and work in the olden days. The tour eventually leads to the playground. Just across, you will find the Martinsklause, an inn of which the interior invokes style of the 1950s and a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal and something to drink. 1. House from Rauschenberg The ground floor of the three-story building accommodates a pharmacy with an adjoining laboratory typical for smaller towns with basic equipment dating from the early 19th century. This includes ovens, retorts, crucibles, tongs, condensers, mortar and pestle as well as a pill machine. The two upper storeys of the house are home to an exhibition on the history of communications technology in Germany. 2. House from Schadeck The 17th-century house accommodates a colonial goods shop resembling those from the 1950s. The broad range of products in colourful cans and boxes in the predecessor of the supermarket amazes visitors. The shop offered everything needed for everyday life. The customer was handed the goods personally, often without packaging or in a cone-shaped paper bag. These were carried home in the aprons of the customers or in bowls which people had brought along. 3. House from Eisemroth The fully furnished building, which once housed a family of ten, illustrates the cramped living conditions in the countryside in 1928. The furniture and interior of the kitchen, parlour, bedroom and pantry have been chosen with the help of contemporary witness and former resident of this house Frieda Sommer.
