Infill sites can be challenging, but they can also provide great opportunities for builders - as many of today's buyers want to live in close, walkable communities. Infills offer buyers the unique opportunity to live in a new home with modern conveniences and energy efficiency while enjoying the benefits of an established community - with parks, restaurants, entertainment and a variety of other attractive amenities located nearby. Learn how creative land planning and innovative single and multifamily home designs can maximize infill sites, while strategically targeting buyers and driving sales.

Planner volunteers worked with the Tri-City People's Corporation to develop a strategic plan for this struggling neighborhood in Newark's Central Ward. The community has a long list of challenges, including high crime, significant poverty, troubled schools, inadequate housing, mortgage and tax foreclosures, and little or no strong community organization to steer the strategic plan. Positive aspects of the neighborhood are several organizations with long term commitments to the neighborhood, such as Tri-City Peoples Corporation, many houses of worship willing to support the effort, a beautiful county park at its center, West Side Park, and a growing commercial district along Springfield Avenue, where Home Depot, a movie theater, a newly opened Shop Rite and a several restaurants have opened.
While the team of volunteers investigated the neighborhood and collected data and other information to support their work, they worked closely with the staff at Tri City to create a steering committee, inviting community representatives from various organizations in and around the neighborhood, including several houses of worship, elected officials, and Rutgers School of Criminal Justice in Newark. Organizing the steering committee was a significant effort. The team presented their findings with a list of strategies for continuing to organize the area, and begin to address the more pressing challenges. The first challenge will be to maintain the steering committee, which lacks strong leadership. The long term hope is that the steering committee can maintain the effort, strengthen the community organization, and apply for a planning grant from a foundation to develop a redevelopment plan.

This presentation was featured in a webinar that explored evidence-based approaches to engage youth and young adults from foster care in the prevention of unintended or untimely pregnancies. The webinar also highlighted effective supports for young people in care as parents as they tend to their own developmental needs.
Alicia Van Orman, from the Population Reference Bureau, shares techniques and resources for collecting publically-available data and disaggregating it by race during a recent webinar. Using disaggregated data allows researchers to uncover patterns or other information that could lead to targeted and efficient investments.

In a webinar in the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Using What Works to Improve Child Well-Being series, an expert panel discusses how the Youth Experience Survey, one of the key tools in the Evidence2Success framework, generates data on risk and protective factors that help communities address problems for youth before they start.
The webinar, “Getting to Permanence: The Practices of High-Performing Child Welfare Agencies,” highlights the importance of prioritizing family relationships and ensuring children and teens in foster care have enduring connections to loving, nurturing adults in their lives.
Authentic youth engagement is critical to improving outcomes for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood. This point recently was emphasized in Maximizing Youth Engagement in Court Reviews and Case Planning, a webinar hosted by the Casey Foundation’s Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative.
Tackle troublesome behavior among youths before it leads to poor outcomes like violence, delinquency, dropping out of school, substance abuse and teen pregnancy. That lies at the heart of “prevention science.
This presentation explored key recommendations in the Annie E. Casey Foundation's publication, "A Child Welfare Leader’s Desk Guide to Building a High-Performing Agency," including strategies for collecting and analyzing data about disparities.
Learn how court oversight can be a powerful tool in ensuring the benefit of the normalcy and youth engagement/participation provisions of the Strengthening Families Act (SFA) positively affect the everyday lives of youth.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
