Waste COVER STORY I TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY I poses threat City seeks a solution by Cathy Thomas The issue of household hazar­ dous waste is now only marginally being addressed by the State of Delaware. However, the problem of disposing of the waste could become a major en­ vironmental concern in the future. "In small quantities, it's not a problem, but when it ac­ .cumulates in larger amounts, it ia a problem," said Fred Herald, Newark city administrative assistant. Household hazardous waste consists of such items as paints, oils, car batteries, pesticides, herbicides and cleaners. The City of Newark has studied ways to deal with disposal of such waste. The city considered setting up a hazardous waste collection point, but found such a project would not be cost-efficient for a community this size. "What we would do would have a small effect on the pro­ blem," said Herald. Currently there are no laws against residential disposal of household hazardous materials, although some trash disposal fl.rm8 have their own regulations regarding the disposal of certain items. ' Because there is no-state law regarding household hazardous waste disposal, much of it ends up in trash bags along the curb. There are several dangers with thia type of hazardous waste disposal.

  • PART I — the Budget by Functional Area
    PART I THE BUDGET BY FUNCTIONAL AREA EDUCATION, LABOR AND FAMILY ASSISTANCE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS MISSION The primary responsibility for oversight and administration of the State’s artistic and cultural resources is assigned to three existing entities — the Council on the Arts, the Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation and the New York State Theatre Institute. The 2003-04 Executive Budget proposes the establishment of the New York Institute for Cultural Education to administer a variety of statewide cultural education programs and important cultural institutions. Working together, these agencies expand access to the performing and fine arts, preserve the State’s cultural resources and promote greater public awareness of New York’s rich cultural heritage. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING The Council on the Arts is headed by a Chair and a Vice Chair and consists of 20 members nominated for 5-year terms by the Governor with confirmation by the Senate. The Council’s staff, headed by an Executive Director, is organized into an Administrative Division and a Program Division, both located in New York City. The Council has expertise in several major artistic disciplines (including dance, theater and music) and provides advisory services and financial assistance to New York’s arts community. During 2003-04, the Council on the Arts will have a workforce of 52 for the review, processing and administration of arts grants and loans to nonprofit organizations. The Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation (the “Egg”) was established in 1979 as a public benefit corporation to administer a performing arts center in Albany that offers a diverse array of cultural and artistic programming.

These early years defined, as Herman Gray suggests in Watching Race, all subsequent representations of blackness on television. This defining moment, I argue, is one inextricably tethered to the South and the region’s anxiety ridden and complicated relationship with television. This anxiety was rooted in the progress and increasing visibility of the Civil Rights Movement, concern over growing white southern audiences in the wake of the FCC freeze (ended in 1952), and the fear and threat of a southern backlash against racially progressive programming.

Colin, on May 13 and 14, 2021. Here is a sampling of Covid Mural and Poem writings from students. An acrostic poem by Cain Stone, grade 7 Many flowers Using many meanings. Remembrance And Life with gratitude. A tricube poem by Nava Schuerholz, grade 7 Lilacs and forget-me- nots can help people to remember those who have suffered during the pandemic. A reflection from the Mural’s Perspective by Gabe Price, grade 7 I arrived at Maple Hill High School on a sunny day. I was set up outside in their outside classroom. I was lonely until the children came to visit. The first class came down with older students. They loved looking at me and even put round stickers on me.I heard the kids talking and most kids thought I was interesting. I think I am important because I represent a disease that is going around. I support all that were affected. I love my moons which represent time. I am happy we are now getting closer to everyone not needing a mask. I have never seen anyone without a mask ! I love that I am a collection of bright flowers. One of the stickers was from a seventh grade boy who made a picture of a virus and crossed it out.

Fostering state and AND THE MENA REGION societal resilience stands out as a major goal of the strategy, con- HE M T ceived both as a means to enhance prevention and early warning and as a long-term investment in good governance, stability and prosperity. This book collects the results of a research project designed and implemented by FEPS and IAI exploring different understandings of resilience on the basis of six MENA state and societal contexts, mapping out the challenges but also positive reform actors and dynamics within them as a first step towards operationalizing the concept of resilience. U, RESILIENCE AND E FEPS is the progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007, it aims at establishing an intellec- tual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. THE As a platform for ideas and dialogue, FEPS works in close collabora- tion with social democratic organizations, and in particular national foundations and think tanks across and beyond Europe, to tackle the challenges that we are facing today. FEPS inputs fresh thinking at the core of its action and serves as an instrument for pan-Euro- pean, intellectual political reflection. IAI is a private, independent non-profit think tank, founded in 1965 on the initiative of Altiero Spinelli. IAI seeks to promote awareness of international politics and to contribute to the advancement of European integration and multilateral cooperation. IAI is part of a vast international research network, and interacts and cooperates with the Italian government and its ministries, European and inter- national institutions, universities, major national economic actors, the media and the most authoritative international think tanks.
