Pollution
Pollution is a major issue that scientists are working to address. There are many causes and types of pollution, including chemical pollution of seas and air as well as air pollution from greenhouse gases. This contributes to problems like global warming. Recycling and reusing solid waste is one solution that has been proposed. Recycling saves money and energy compared to processing new raw materials. However, incineration of waste also has advantages like reducing volume but disadvantages like air pollution. Scientists are pursuing additional solutions like capturing energy from footfalls and more energy efficient electronics to help address pollution problems. Everyone can help the environment in small ways like proper waste disposal.

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

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.

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.
APA-NJ CPAP - BCU Final Plan
The BCU Neighborhood Plan was created through an extensive community engagement process involving hundreds of residents and stakeholders over several years. Workshops were held to develop a shared vision for the neighborhood, identify strategic priorities, and formulate a draft plan. The plan focuses on improving safety, developing an urban village atmosphere, fostering diversity and affordable housing, and strengthening local businesses and job opportunities. Near-term priority actions were also identified to help guide initial implementation efforts led by the BCU steering committee and neighborhood volunteers. The plan serves as a framework for ongoing resident-led revitalization of the Bergen Communities neighborhood.

Bergen Communities United Presentation
In January 2012 Women Rising submitted an application to the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-NJ) for pro bono support to update its community plan. Their plan had been written in 2005/2006. The application was made to APA-NJ’s Community Planning Assistance Program (CPAP), which provides pro bono planning support to municipalities and community groups. Recipients are selected through a process that begins with a formal request for proposals. Submitted proposals are then evaluated and two to three projects are selected each year. Women Rising’s proposal was one of three projects selected for 2012.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
