Perth Amboy Post Sandy Plans for Rebuilding the Waterfront
CPAP volunteers were asked to review the plans by the City’s engineer for quickly rebuilding the waterfront area along Kill Van Kull and Raritan Bay. The area was badly damaged in the storm, and the city wanted to begin the repairs in time for the 20__ summer season on the waterfront. The volunteers attended a presentation by the engineer to the city officials, then, within several days, delivered a review of the proposals. The review affirmed the majority of the engineer’s proposals, and made some recommendations for making the waterfront more resilient in future storms.
South Ward Children's Alliance
The New Jersey Chapter’s CPAP team was invited by the South Ward Children’s Alliance in Newark’s South Ward to support the creation of a community needs assessment that could be used in their efforts to improve public education in the South Ward. The Alliance has become increasingly aware that addressing problems in the community, such as housing, crime and recreation, is a critical part of improving the South Ward’s public schools. The CPAP was asked to support their efforts to identify social issues in the surrounding neighborhoods and how they should be prioritized. The long list of social issues in the area creates unstable environments where education becomes a huge challenge for students. The overarching goal is to create a stable life for students so they can do better in school. A major component of the field work was to work with parents of children in the schools to ensure their points of view. The team conducted a review of data provided by the Alliance, researched additional sources for data, combined them with the views of the parents and produced a final presentation of the work, including maps, data, and results.
While this was a very different kind of project for the team, considering the close link with public education, the team was enthusiastic to do it. Two of the team members brought strong backgrounds in urban public education to the project. The team’s analytical approach provided the Alliance with important information they will use to consider programs to address the neighborhood’s most urgent needs.
The team members were:
• Molly Coon
• Michael Kolber
• Christopher Kok
• Nadia Mian
• Deborah Schulze
• Tom Schulze
A Vision for Revitalizing the French Street Commercial Corridor
APA-NJ CPAP was invited to New Brunswick by the Esperanza Neighborhood Project and New Brunswick Tomorrow to create a vision plan to enhance the French Street commercial corridor using input and recommendations from community residents, businesses, and shoppers.
The French Streets corridor is located in the heart of New Brunswick near Rutgers University and the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital/University Complex, the train station and other downtown offices. The corridor is about half a mile long and contains mostly small retail businesses that serve a mostly local customer base. The neighborhood has a rich Hispanic/Latin culture and many of the businesses there cater to that market.
The key goals for revitalizing French Street were:
• Beautify and improve Crime,
• Improve pedestrian safety and vehicle flow,
• Improve and create public spaces,
• Reduce crime and loitering, and
• Attract shoppers to the businesses along French Street.
The team conducted a community driven SWOT analysis for the area and extensive outreach and data collection to develop an ambitious set of strategies and recommendations for reaching the goals.

Cultural Restaurant
The document describes plans to convert a vacant commercial space into a cultural restaurant. It provides details about the space, including its size and features. It discusses desires to create a restaurant where different cultural groups can dine together on shareable foods while enjoying views from the windows. The restaurant would have indoor and outdoor seating and parking. Reasons given for why it is needed in the area include a lack of healthy options and an opportunity for the hotel and surrounding community. Potential funding sources and community support are mentioned. Concerns about noise, road closures, and wayfinding are addressed.
Corner Stop
The document describes an empty, dirty plot of land on a hill near a bus stop that is surrounded by trees and open space. It envisions transforming the area into an inclusive community space for children and adults to play and relax, helping meet people's needs and changing their perspectives. Potential issues that could arise include trespassing and littering. The document proposes installing fencing and a locked gate to address trespassing, and putting up signs asking people not to litter. The goal is to create a "world changing place for everyone" through positive transformation.
Changed Circumstances for Real Estate Demand
The document summarizes a presentation given by Jeffrey Otteau on changing circumstances for real estate demand. Some key points from the presentation include:
1) Globalization and technology have increased global competition and eliminated many jobs, constraining income growth in the US.
2) Households have adjusted to slower income growth by decreasing homeownership rates and migrating out of states like New Jersey.
3) Demand is shifting towards urban areas with transit access that offer walkability and technology sector jobs.
4) Four and a half years after the recession, the US economy is growing again but income growth remains constrained while profits rise, presenting challenges for the real estate industry.

Planning for Sustainable Communities: Master Plan Guidance for New Jersey Of...
Since the amendment to the MLUL in 2008 to include the Green Building and Environmental Sustainability Plan element (The Sustainability Plan) in the list of permitted Master Plan elements, towns across New Jersey have been taking sustainability planning more seriously. Especially in the wake of recent extreme weather, the need for short-term resiliency actions and long-term sustainability goals is more pressing than ever.
Therefore, it is with great pleasure that the Sustainability Committee of the NJ Chapter of the American Planning Association announces the release of a sustainability planning guide for planners and municipal officials. The new guide, “Planning for Sustainable Communities: Master Plan Guidance for New Jersey Officials”, deconstructs the traditional master plan and offers new approaches to each of the plan elements with sound local and global examples that any NJ municipality can tailor to their needs.

The American Planning Association - NJ Chapter's Community Planning Assistance Program was invited by the Coalition to Preserve the Palisades, Inc. to develop a community vision plan for a 6.55 acre site that lies on the Palisades Cliffs, a line of steep cliffs formed about 200 million years ago. Part of the James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park, the site is owned by Hudson County, but is currently closed to visitors. CPAP volunteers: conducted field visits to determine the existing site conditions; obtained and reviewed existing mapping and historical documents of the site; created and implemented a community visioning process in an effort to determine the community’s thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the site, and use the community’s voice as the foundation of this vision plan; and created the vision plan. The community visioning process included creation of and meetings with a steering committee that included the Hudson County parks and planning departments, and conduct of a public meeting. The vision plan included: a vision statement; conceptual designs and recommendations; project phasing and cost estimates; estimated project timeline; and funding options.

The residential and professional district in the south could encourage preservation of historic homes, limit new retail, and use design guidelines.

Something Delicious
The document proposes building a bakery on a vacant lot located at 139 Clinton Ave. It is currently an empty dirt lot surrounded by a fence and filled with trash. The future bakery would have a fresh smell, central air, security cameras, and pictures of products. It would provide jobs and offer something new to the area. Potential problems like construction noise would be addressed by limiting work to daytime hours and erecting barriers. The bakery aims to give the community new experiences and opportunities.
Manes
The document outlines plans to open a healthy restaurant in Newark to address the lack of healthy food options. It will start as a food truck and catering service to generate revenue before building the restaurant. The restaurant aims to help the local community by providing healthier alternatives to fast food chains and combating issues like obesity. It will offer foods from various countries beyond just salads. The founders plan to obtain startup funding through private investors and revenue from the food truck to cover building costs.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水

二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信bwp0011】即可
