49 year old woman | Key West, FL, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 400 miles
Positive and Upbeat
Upbeat, always ready with a smile... that's the way my friends have described me. I'm a native of South Florida, grew up in the Palm Beaches, and recently moved back to Key West. I am loving my life and my friends here, but would like to meet new people as well. I'm looking for a change in careers, but am financially secure. I want to enjoy every aspect of life, especially travel. I also enjoy dining out, trying new wines, listening to new music, and of course getting out on the water. I've already traveled a great deal, but there are so many more places I want to see and experience. I'm looking for someone who is adventurous, who loves to just have fun! Someone who is patient, kind, sincere and open minded, witty with a great sense of humor. After all, life would be awfully dull if we couldn't laugh at ourselves sometimes. I like a man to be a man, because I tend to have a fairly strong personality. I'm looking for someone who is thoughtful and caring, because after all, these are qualities I possess. I was recently told that one thing, I'm not, is boring... so here's to not being bored.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I like Dogs, Fish, Horses
Middle of the Road
Living in Key West is great, because there is always an event going on or a new club opening up. I enjoy the nightlife here. I also love to travel. I drove from Key West to Las Vegas a few years ago. It was an amazing trip! Going to Europe in Sept.
My favorite TV programs are Dexter, Mad Men, The Tudors & Breaking Bad. I love my DVR. I love Mexican food & any kind of Asian food, but sometimes just want a good burger. I want to travel more, even a spontaneous road trip can be fun.
I love going boating anytime I can. I also love the beach, having a barbeque on the beach with friends is the best. I watch a lot of movies, all kinds of movies. I love music, all except Country/Western. Small concerts are my favorite.
I've been reading Trinity by Leon Uris, an historical novel about Ireland. Before that, I read a couple of Wilbur Smith novels.

Green Vale Homes Domestic Violence Review 2008 Julie Bracewell May 2008 1 CONTENTS Background 3 Introduction 3 The STAR centre 5 Sanctuary Project 8 Care Line 9 Temporary Accommodation 10 Multi Agency Arrangements 11 Green Vales Housing Management 12 Anti Social Behaviour Officer 13 Male Domestic Violence 14 Future Plans 15 Housing Legislation 16 APPENICIES 2 BACKGROUND This review plans to assess the work currently being undertaken by Green Vale Homes to tackle Domestic Violence and also outline our plans for future service delivery. In addition it will look at its partnerships and joint working relationships with other services. INTRODUCTION Domestic violence has a devastating effect on victims, their families and the wider community, regardless of race, geography or social background. One in four women and one in six men will be affected in their lifetimes, with women suffering higher rates of repeat victimisation and serious injury. The total cost to society is an estimated £23billion a year in England and Wales. Domestic violence may be defined as: "Any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality." In light of recent legislation designed to address domestic violence the Rossendale Domestic Violence Forum has developed a strategy to address domestic violence. This builds on the Government"s domestic violence strategy "Justice for All," (2002). The strategic approach to domestic violence was developed following consultation in 2003 on 'Safety and Justice: The Government's Proposals on Domestic Violence. It is centred on three areas: prevention; protection and justice; and support. 1. Prevention and Early Intervention To promote awareness of domestic violence in Rossendale throughout voluntary and statutory agencies To facilitate the education of people in Rossendale in issues relating to domestic violence 2. Protection and Justice To offer support and advice to those people either suffering domestic violence or those people who are affected by it. 3. Support for Victims 3 To provide ongoing assistance through a co-ordinated response to people affected by domestic violence. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 placed a statutory requirement on Local Authorities to effectively monitor the level of domestic abuse in their communities and form partnerships to reduce the problem. The Rossendale Domestic Abuse Partnership is a multi agency initiative that was formed in 2006 and is the principle vehicle for developing services that address the issues around domestic violence. The forum meets regularly and reports to the Community Safety Partnership and the Council. Green Vale Homes delivers Rossendale Borough Councils Homelessness service through a dedicated Housing Options Team. Green Vales vision of Making a Difference to People, Homes and Communities reflects the principles of ensuring people have the right to choose secure housing where they will be safe and in an area of their choice. Green Vale Homes work in partnership with key agencies to develop existing advisory and support services so that customers can access the advice and support they need quickly and effectively and that services adapt and respond to individuals. In order to achieve this the Housing Options & Homelessness Action Plan sets out clear objectives over a 3 year period which will assist those people facing domestic violence: To ensure Initial Enquiry process is rolled out across agencies ensuring that people experiencing domestic abuse access relevant services/support at the very earliest opportunity. - To prevent homelessness where possible including cases due to domestic abuse - Support customers throughout their time in temporary accommodation and to make moving on as painless as possible. - Where homelessness is unavoidable to ensure there is an offer of permanent accommodation as quickly as possible. - Identify sources of funding to enable the sanctuary scheme to remain in place after 2011 The Government is encouraging local authorities to provide safe and secure accommodation to people fleeing domestic violence, and also to ensure they provide appropriate services to enable them to rebuild their lives. In addition to the objectives above Green Vale Homes Housing Options Team (HOT) aims to work strategically and closely with the STAR centre (Services 4 Tackling Abuse in Rossendale) and have arrangements in place to compliment the housing options service we provide. THE STAR CENTRE The STAR Centre is a registered charity and was formed in 1996. The STAR centre is the main support agency in Rossendale for Domestic Abuse and provides a co coordinated service to women and their families. The STAR centre can be contacted on 01706 830600 Fax 01706 831586 Centre Manager Debra Molyneux Outreach Workers Alison, Gaye, Naz Admin support Irene The STAR Centre provides Practical and emotional support to women, their children and their families Coordinated support packages tailored to each individual Referrals to specialist agencies such as solicitors, refuges, witness service Ethnic Community Support Outreach services include Visiting women at safe locations throughout the valley Working in partnership with other agencies Sanctuary and safety packages The continued commitment from The STAR centre staff and Green Vale Homes HOT team has helped us better understand each other roles and assisted each of us in achieving our key objectives which are ultimately to prevent homelessness where possible and to support the safety and well being of women and children in the community. HOT team will continue to encourage ALL domestic abuse victims to go to the STAR centre to seek advice and support. STAR has a specialist ethnic minority worker that is sensitive to issues that effect women of Asian heritage and also speaks several languages. 5 All STAR staff has been trained in basic communication with the deaf and can arrange access to interpreters Reciprocal arrangements are in place for referral of individuals presenting with domestic violence issues. The HOT team deals with every initial enquiry relating to someone"s homelessness or potential homeless problem and advice as appropriate in an attempt to prevent actual homelessness occurring. This will either be through a planned move or sanctuary type measures. HOT staff are trained to recognise domestic abuse and fully understand that this can be both emotional and physical in nature. Many potential homeless cases are due to domestic abuse and are prevented due to the level of expertise STAR have which in return enhances our specialist housing advice and knowledge. Support networks are available to anyone identified as having experienced Domestic violence, whatever their preferred housing option which could be: To remain in the family home without the perpetrator To leave the family home on a temporary basis To leave the family home permanently Seek re-housing from private sector, RSL, family or friends Buy a property Where a victim chooses to remain in the family home additional safety measures may be put in place such as panic alarms, lock packages etc STAR CENTRE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE 2007/08 The Star Centre supported 3254 women. 42% of the women were given emotional support 25% of the women were given practical advice, such as counselling services, benefits advice, furniture schemes, social groups to attend, training courses etc 20% of users were helped with legal matters such as solicitor"s visits, support during court cases, 6 1% was referred to Green Vale Homes Housing Options Team presenting as homeless 11% were assisted with sanctuary such as panic alarms; lock packages, security lighting etc to allow them to remain safe in their homes. Less than a quarter of a percent of users were placed into refuges Helpline Summary 2000-08 4000 3823 3359 3448 3500 3173 3000 2834 2528 2500 Incoming 2000 2025 2087 Calls 1500 1363 1000 125 171 124 500 241 247 171 170 173 180 25 44 41 45 164 161 93 99 33 0 1999- 2000- 2001- 2002- 2003- 2004- 2005- 2006- 2007- 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Year Total Call Summary Comparison Total Calls Total Call Summary Comparison First Time Callers Total Call Summary Comparison Ethnic Minority Callers Service Users & TOTAL TOTAL Support 06-07 07-08 Total Incoming Calls 3359 3448 Ethnic minority total 94 99 Calls from Service Users 1198 1346 first time callers 124 180 Repeat Callers 1074 1166 Calls from Agencies 2161 2102 Although there was a drop in the overall calls to the STAR centre, further analysis shows the only area that figures are reduced are the total number of calls from other agencies and organisations. The last year gave the highest number (180) of new referrals since the STAR opened (as RDVF). The fact that the last graph shows a massive number of calls being made on behalf of our service users may explain the drop in calls coming from agencies 7 SANCTUARY Sanctuary Schemes were first piloted in Harrow. Such schemes can reduce homelessness due to domestic abuse as they help people to remain living in the family home and to feel safer by adding security measures to their property. The schemes have also been used successfully for families who have resettled in a new home, where the sanctuary measures have improved tenancy sustainment by freeing victims from fear of further attacks. In 2006 Green Vale Housing Options Team agreed to fund the STAR centre to provide a sanctuary project to vulnerable clients. This would give victims the option to remain in their home with additional safety such as lock packages, panic alarms, security lighting etc. This arrangement has been running successfully since 2006 and an agreement is in place for the HOT team to continue for the next 3 years to provide £8000pa for this service. In addition to the close relationship with HOT the STAR centre work very closely with Green Vale Homes Careline Team who provide the panic alarm systems for people suffering abuse in the home. By providing Careline alarms this enables victims of domestic violence to remain in the home whilst the perpetrator is no longer living in the property. Sanctuary Safety Scheme 2007- Sanctuary & Safety Scheme 08 costs Security & Safety Assessment 47 1175 Lock & safety Packages completed 47 4825 Unstill Alarm Systems Fitted 35 1994.63 Personal Alarms Allocated 30 150 Fire Safety Assessment 18 0 Advice packs issued 178 534 8678.63 8 CARELINE / STAR CENTRE ARRANGEMENTS A member of Careline staff takes the referral by telephone , the name , address and telephone number/s of the client are recorded and questions with regard to the circumstances are asked to assess the risk involved for visiting staff. On completion of the referral form (which is usually made over the phone), an appointment is made by an installation officer at a convenient time for the customer. It is accepted that this type of unit will be treated as an urgent referral and a same day appointment is encouraged. For personal safety purposes two members of staff visit the property to install the pendant alarm. One member of staff installs the equipment whilst the other determines any further detail required including a password known only to the client ,Green Vale staff and the response centre. In the event a call is activated and the password is given it indicates there is no problem at the property , either the client has made a mistake or is testing the equipment. The response operator will clear the call down with no further action. The response centre operators are trained on receiving a call from a domestic violence unit not to speak until they hear the password at which point they can acknowledge the caller and clear the call down. In the event the password is not given the operators are trained to listen and hold the call open whilst making a call to the police on 999 , giving them the name, address and details of the activation of the unit and the police are aware of the need to attend with some urgency. The call to the response centre is held open and recorded , this recording may be used as evidence in court if required at a later date. We are not informed by the Star Centre as to how many of their clients have activated calls and how many times the police are called out but we do receive information from the management reports from Astraline ( the response centre ) that shows call history. When the threat has abated for the Star Centre clients a request is made to remove the unit , an appointment is made with the client by a Careline member of staff and one member of staff visits to remove the alarm. The response centre are notified of the removal and asked to record this as a designated domestic violence for allocation. When a panic alarm alone is not felt appropriate or indeed sufficient the STAR centre will then contact their contractor to add further sanctuary such as window 9 locks, alarms, security lights, cctv camera and if necessary full sanctuary to a room in the house. Lines of communication between Green Vale Homes Housing Options and Careline Teams remain open at all times and the need to respond to immediate and emergency need is always acknowledged in the event of emergency accommodation being required. TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION Often temporary accommodation can take a number of forms, whether it is used as "respite" accommodation before returning to the family home, or is prior to permanent re-housing. Victims who wish to return to the family home or who may be unsure of longer term housing decisions can access temporary accommodation such as respite accommodation and refuges without having to present as homeless and usually the STAR centre will arrange this on our behalf. If at any point in the process it is deemed inappropriate for the victim to remain in the home then temporary accommodation will be arranged, under part VI of the Housing Act 1996 (see code of guidance appendix 1) The STAR centre has access to a national database of refuges and bed spaces available etc and so can if needed arrange this on HOTs behalf at their request. They work particularly closely with our neighbours in Bury, Burnley and Blackburn. However if no suitable refuge is available then HOT team will arrange suitable alternative temporary accommodation. Communication must take place throughout the temporary accommodation transition to ensure the victim is supported and disruption minimised. Once temporary accommodation is established the HOT team will continue through the homeless procedure in accordance with part VII Housing Act 1996 (see code of guidance appendix 1). 10 MULTI AGENCY ARRANGEMENTS Green Vale Homes is represented at RDAP (Rossendale domestic abuse partnership) and attends the meetings every 2 months. . RDAP"s role is to provide strategic direction to agencies, DV Forum and other external partnership agencies in Rossendale. In addition the group has responsibility for driving forward the implementation, review and evaluation of the Rossendale DV Strategy SURE START Sure Start projects can provide some support to domestic violence victims if they are resident in designated Sure Start areas and have children aged 4 or under. LANCASHIRE CONSTABULARY Lancashire constabulary regards domestic violence as a crime which is no less serious than street violence and is often more so. Although the great majority of domestic violence incidents relate to male perpetrators and female victims, the constabulary recognise that this is not always the case. The Lancashire Constabulary Domestic Violence policy recognises that all categories of victims may need to be treated differently but sets out a minimum level of support all victims of domestic violence can expect. Specialist domestic violence officers are available in each division to offer secondary level of support to victims. These officers work within a multi agency setting and with the intention of solving problems over a long term basis. MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conferences) A named representative of Green Vale Homes attends MARACs which are held monthly. The purpose of a MARAC is to ensure appropriate steps are taken to protect victims of the most serious cases of domestic abuse and their children from further suffering and to hold the perpetrators to account for their actions. 11 GREEN VALE HOUSING MANAGEMENT STAFF Green Vale Homes has signed up to the Government"s RESPECT Standard for Housing Management. This standard aims to ensure that local agencies tackle unacceptable behaviour including domestic violence and help build stronger local communities. A lot of the work is already centred on acting early in order to prevent anti-social behaviour occurring. New initiatives include: Introduction of starter tenancies Ensuring regular contact with all tenants, to identify any early warnings Appointed a dedicated Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, who is trained to assist with all types of nuisance problems. The purchase of noise monitoring and a portable covert digital CCTV system to improve evidence gathering. More close working with partners, e.g. Police, Youth Services and Rossendale Borough Council, to identify areas that are causing concern, and provide a more visible presence on local estates. Green Vale Homes is committed to taking a non-judgmental and non-questioning approach in all instances when domestic violence is brought to our attention. Domestic violence is often very difficult or impossible to "prove". Indeed, it is not considered appropriate for the victim to have to "prove" that they are experiencing domestic violence. Housing Management staff has had necessary training to identify domestic violence issues and how to refer victims to the Housing Options Team. An Initial Enquiry form is in use which allows staff to refer victims to the Housing Options Team for housing advice in accordance with the Homelessness Act 1985 (2002) Act When a person approaches the Green Vale Homes and advises that they are subject to domestic violence, we act in all instances without questioning and the victim must always be treated in a sensitive and supportive manner. It is policy to take action against perpetrators of domestic violence. If evidence is available, staff will use powers available under the Housing Act 1996 to initiate eviction proceedings. Under these circumstances it would most certainly involve the STAR centre and the Police, and possibly be subjected to a to a MARAC if felt appropriate. 12 As part of Green Vales commitment to support victims of domestic violence steps will be taken to minimize the risk of a violent partner being inadvertently re-housed near to the victim. ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR OFFICER Green Vales Anti Social Behaviour Officers role is to work across the borough tackling issues of anti social behavior. This is done in conjunction with Housing Officers, Income Generation Team, front line staff, and staff working out on the estates. More recently the Housing Options Staff and the ASB officer have taken a more joined up pro active approach. Green Vale Homes has introduced a very detailed database (ReAct) for recording ASB. Witness statements are now recorded, as is the type of incident, perpetrators details, photographs, other agencies involved. Customers can now also report on line via our website and by phone using our Out of Hours telephone number. We recognize that some of the incidents reported are related to violence or regarding threats of violence and some will in deed be domestic. It is at this stage that the ASB officer will make a referral to the Housing Options Team. The teams Initial Enquiry form has been added to the REACT system to allow an electronic enquiry be sent. The Housing Options Team will then make contact regarding the enquiry and offer advice and assistance as appropriate. This link between the two teams is crucial in order to ensure we are maximizing delivery of the homelessness prevention agenda and more recently the RESPECT agenda. Recognizing Domestic Violence and the circumstances surrounding it are essential and many of Green Vales front line staff has received training on this matter. The introduction of the Sanctuary scheme and the funding of this have clearly demonstrated Green Vales commitment to tackling Domestic Violence and have reduced homelessness. Front line and estate management staff are aware of how to refer victims to the STAR centre for support and also other support mechanisms in the area to enable them to rebuild their lives whilst remaining safe in their homes. Homeless acceptances due to domestic violence over the lasts 2 years 2006/07 - 13 cases equating to 26% of all our acceptances for the year 2007/08 - 10 cases equating to 21% of all our acceptances for the year 13 MALE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Green Vale recognises that men can also experience domestic violence and so will refer men to relevant support services. Also we understand that a male victim may wish to request another male officer carry out the interview therefore we do have the service of a Senior Male officer available within the Housing Options Team. Victim Support Male Helpline 0800 328 3623 The Mankind Initiative 0870 794 4124 14 FUTURE PLANS Whilst Green Vale is confident we are addressing the issues of domestic violence appropriately, there are some internal and external agency improvements to be made. All HOT staff to be trained on how to use the ReACT database The following actions have been identified in the draft Rossendale DV strategy There needs to be more agency involvement at Rossendale Domestic Abuse Partnership (RDAP) Green Vale are represented at RDAP however not all appropriate agencies across the borough are and more needs to be done to encourage greater representation. One of the STAR centres main objectives over the next 2 years is to address provision for children of victims. And to look at what a family has to go through whilst recovering from trauma. One of the key factors here is keeping the family stable and in their own home and avoiding moving areas, schools etc, it is therefore crucial that we secure funding for the Sanctuary work indefinitely. Other future developments for the STAR centre in conjunction with Green Vale and other agencies are to role out MARAC training. This would allow staff to get more involved with their clients who may be high risk DV victims and would allow them to share relevant information to help them with support and getting key services. One of the biggest gaps in Rossendale is the provision of temporary accommodation for Domestic Violence victims, this is to be addressed by Rossendale Borough Council through their homelessness strategy. 15 HOUSING LEGISLATION Housing Acts 1985 & 1996 Under Ground I Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1985, a possession order can be granted where an obligation of the tenancy has been broken or not performed. The Housing Act 1996 added Ground 2A of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1985. Under this Act, possession action can be taken against a remaining tenant where their partner has left the family home because of violence or threats of violence and does not intend to return. This ground can be considered when the partner (whether or not they are a tenant) has been re-housed because of violence and the perpetrator is left in occupation (particularly as they may be under-occupying a family sized unit). In such cases sufficient evidence of violence having occurred is required, which can include evidence provided by a social worker. In addition, Housing Authorities can take injunctive action against a tenant if they are shown to be in breach of the terms of the tenancy agreement. The 1988 Housing Act extended the same powers to Housing Associations. Other anti-social behaviour legislation also allows Housing Authorities powers to act against perpetrators in respect of their tenancies. Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act In 2004, the Home Office brought new legislation into force to tackle domestic violence. The Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 20041 has given criminal justice agencies new powers to deal with domestic violence. The new legislation makes common assault an arrest able offence and strengthens the law to ensure that same-sex and co-habiting couples have the same rights to occupation and non-molestation orders as married couples. The legislation also provides a code of practice, binding on all criminal justice agencies, to ensure that all victims receive the protection, support and advice that they need. 16 Appendix 1 CODE OF GUIDANCE REFERENCES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 6.17. Under s.177, it is not reasonable for a person to continue to occupy accommodation if it is probable that this will lead to domestic or other violence against him or her, or against a person who normally resides with him or her as a member of his or her family, or any other person who might reasonably be expected to reside with him or her. Violence includes threats of violence from another person which are likely to be carried out. Inquiries into cases where violence is alleged will need careful handling. It is essential that inquiries do not provoke further violence. It is not advisable for the housing authority to approach the alleged perpetrator, since this could generate further violence, and may delay the assessment. Housing authorities may, however, wish to seek information from friends and relatives of the applicant, social services and the police, as appropriate. In some cases, corroborative evidence of actual or threatened violence may not be available, for example, because there were no adult witnesses and/or the applicant was too frightened or ashamed to report incidents to family, friends or the police. In many cases involving violence, the applicant may be in considerable distress and an officer trained in dealing with the particular circumstances should conduct the interview. Applicants should be given the option of being interviewed by an officer of the same sex if they so wish. 6.18. In cases where violence is a feature and the applicant may have a local connection elsewhere, the housing authority, in considering whether to notify another housing authority about a possible referral of the case, must be aware that s.198 provides that an applicant cannot be referred to another housing authority if he or she, or any person who might reasonably be expected to reside with him or her, would be at risk of violence in the district of the other housing authority Domestic violence or other violence 8.19. Section 177(1) provides that it is not reasonable for a person to continue to occupy accommodation if it is probable that this will lead to domestic violence or other violence against: i) The applicant; ii) A person who normally resides as a member of the applicant"s family; or iii) Any other person who might reasonably be expected to reside with the applicant. Section 177(1A) provides that violence means violence from another person or threats of violence from another person which are likely to be carried out. Domestic 17 violence is violence from a person who is associated with the victim and also includes threats of violence which are likely to be carried out. Domestic violence is not confined to instances within the home but extends to violence outside the home. 8.20. Section 178 provides that, for the purposes of defining domestic violence, a person is associated with another if: (a) They are, or have been, married to each other; (b) They are or have been civil partners of each other; (c) They are, or have been, cohabitants (including same sex partners); (d) They live, or have lived, in the same household; (e) They are relatives, i.e. father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, son, daughter, Stepson, stepdaughter, grandmother, grandfather, grandson, granddaughter, Brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew (whether of full blood, half blood or By affinity) of that person or of that person"s spouse or former spouse. A person is also included if he or she would fall into any of these categories in relation to Cohabitees or former cohabitees if they were married to each other; (f) They have agreed to marry each other whether or not that agreement has been Terminated; (g) They have entered into a civil partnership agreement between them whether or not that agreement has been terminated; (h) In relation to a child, each of them is a parent of the child or has, or has had, Parental responsibility for the child (within the meaning of the Children Act 1989). A child is a person under 18 years of age; (i) if a child has been adopted or freed for adoption (s.16 (1) Adoption Act 1976), two persons are also associated if one is the natural parent or grandparent of the child and the other is the child of a person who has become the parent by virtue of an adoption order (s.72(1) Adoption Act 1976) or has applied for an adoption order or someone with whom the child has been placed for adoption. 8.21. The Secretary of State considers that the term "violence" should not be given a restrictive meaning, and that "domestic violence" should be understood to include threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between persons who are, or have been, intimate partners, family members or members of the same household, regardless of gender or sexuality. 8.22. An assessment of the likelihood of a threat of violence being carried out should not be based on whether there has been actual violence in the past. An assessment must be based on the facts of the case and devoid of any value judgements about what an applicant should or should not do, or should or should 18 not have done, to mitigate the risk of any violence (e.g. seek police help or apply for an injunction against the perpetrator). Inquiries into cases where violence is alleged will need careful handling. See Chapter 6 for further guidance. 8.23. In cases involving violence, housing authorities may wish to inform applicants of the option of seeking an injunction, but should make clear that there is no obligation on the applicant to do so. Where applicants wish to pursue this option, it is advisable that they obtain independent advice as an injunction may be ill-advised in some circumstances. Housing authorities should recognise that injunctions ordering a person not to molest, or enter the home of, an applicant may not be effective in deterring perpetrators from carrying out further violence or incursions, and applicants may not have confidence in their effectiveness. Consequently, applicants should not be expected to return home on the strength of an injunction. To ensure applicants who have experienced actual or threatened violence get the support they need, authorities should inform them of appropriate organisations in the area such as agencies offering counselling and support as well as specialist advice. 8.24. When dealing with cases involving violence, or threat of violence, from outside the home, housing authorities should consider the option of improving the security of the applicant"s home to enable him or her to continue to live there safely, where that is an option that the applicant wishes to pursue. In some cases, immediate action to improve security within the victim"s home may prevent homelessness. A fast response combined with support from the housing authority, police and the voluntary sector may provide a victim with the confidence to remain in their home. When dealing with domestic violence within the home, where the authority is the landlord, housing authorities should consider the scope for evicting the perpetrator and allowing the victim to remain in their home. However, where there would be a probability of violence if the applicant continued to occupy his or her present accommodation, the housing authority must treat the applicant as homeless and should not expect him or her to remain in, or return to, the accommodation. In all cases involving violence the safety of the applicant and his or her household should be the primary consideration at all stages of decision making as to whether or not the applicant remains in their own home. 8.25. The effectiveness of housing authorities" services to assist victims of domestic violence and prevent further domestic violence is measured by Best Value Performance Indicator BVPI 225 Having left accommodation because of violence 10.28. A person has a priority need if he or she is vulnerable (as set out in paragraph 10.13 ) as a result of having to leave accommodation because of violence from another person, or threats of violence from another person that are likely to be carried out. It will usually be apparent from the assessment of the reason for homelessness whether the applicant has had to leave accommodation 19 because of violence or threats of violence (see Chapter 8 for further guidance on whether it is reasonable to continue to occupy accommodation). In cases involving violence, the safety of the applicant and ensuring confidentiality must be of paramount concern. It is not only domestic violence that is relevant, but all forms of violence, including racially motivated violence or threats of violence likely to be carried out. Inquiries of the perpetrators of violence should not be made. In assessing whether it is likely that threats of violence are likely to be carried out, a housing authority should only take into account the probability of violence, and not actions which the applicant could take (such as injunctions against the perpetrators). See Chapter 6 for further guidance on dealing with cases involving violence. 10.29. In considering whether applicants are vulnerable as a result of leaving accommodation because of violence or threats of violence likely to be carried out, a housing authority may wish to take into account the following factors: i) the nature of the violence or threats of violence (there may have been a single but significant incident or a number of incidents over an extended period of time which have had a cumulative effect); ii) the impact and likely effects of the violence or threats of violence on the Applicant"s current and future well being; iii) Whether the applicant has any existing support networks, particularly by way of family or friends. Other special reason 10.30. Section 189(1)(c) provides that a person has a priority need for accommodation if he or she is vulnerable for any "other special reason". A person with whom such a vulnerable person normally lives or might reasonably be expected to live also have a priority need. The legislation envisages that vulnerability can arise because of factors that are not expressly provided for in statute. Each application must be considered in the light of the facts and circumstances of the case. Moreover, other special reasons giving rise to vulnerability are not restricted to the physical or mental characteristics of a person. Where applicants have a need for support but have no family or friends on whom they can depend they may be vulnerable as a result of another special reason. 10.31. Housing authorities must keep an open mind and should avoid blanket policies that assume that particular groups of applicants will, or will not, be vulnerable for any "other special reason". Where a housing authority considers that an applicant may be vulnerable, it will be important to make an in-depth assessment of the circumstances of the case. Guidance on certain categories of applicants who may be vulnerable as a result of any "other special reason" is given below. The list below is not exhaustive and housing authorities must ensure that they give proper consideration to every application on the basis of the individual circumstances. In addition, housing authorities will need to be aware that an applicant may be considered vulnerable for any "other special reason" because of 20 a combination of factors which taken alone may not necessarily lead to a decision that they are vulnerable (e.g. drug and alcohol problems, common mental health problems, a history of sleeping rough, no previous experience of managing a tenancy). 10.32. Chronically sick people, including people with AIDS and HIV-related illnesses. People in this group may be vulnerable not only because their illness has progressed to the point of physical or mental disability (when they are likely to fall within one of the specified categories of priority need) but also because the manifestations or effects of their illness, or common attitudes to it, make it very difficult for them to find and maintain stable or suitable accommodation. Whilst this may be particularly true of people with AIDS, it could also apply in the case of people infected with HIV (who may not have any overt signs or symptoms) if the nature of their infection is known. 10.33. Young people. The 2002 Order makes specific provision for certain categories of young homeless people (see paragraph 10.2). However, there are many other young people who fall outside these categories but who could become homeless and be vulnerable in certain circumstances. When assessing applications from young people fewer than 25 who do not fall within any of the specific categories of priority need, housing authorities should give careful consideration to the possibility of vulnerability. Most young people can expect a degree of support from families, friends or an Institution (e.g. a college or university) with the practicalities and costs of finding, Establishing, and managing a home for the first time. But some young people, Particularly those who are forced to leave the parental home or who cannot remain there because they are being subjected to violence or sexual abuse, may lack this back up network and be less able than others to establish and maintain a home for themselves RISK OF VIOLENCE 18.23. A housing authority cannot refer an applicant to another housing authority if that person or any person who might reasonably be expected to reside with him or her would be at risk of violence. The housing authority is under a positive duty to enquire whether the applicant would be at such a risk and, if he or she would, it should not be assumed that the applicant will take steps to deal with the threats. 18.24. Section 198(3) defines violence as violence from another person or threats of violence from another person which are likely to be carried out. This is the same definition as appears in s.177 in relation to whether it is reasonable to continue to occupy accommodation and the circumstances to be considered as to whether a person runs a risk of violence are the same. 18.25. Housing authorities should be alert to the deliberate distinction which is made in s.198(3) between actual violence and threatened violence. A high 21 standard of proof of actual violence in the past should not be imposed. The threshold is that there must be: (a) No risk of domestic violence (actual or threatened) in the other district; and (b) No risk of non-domestic violence (actual or threatened) in the other district. Nor should "domestic violence" be interpreted restrictively 22

For more than fifty-five years the air in a comparatively quiet but progressively decaying area of Queens just outside Jamaica, reverberated to the thunder of horse's hooves as they beat around an elliptical course known as the Jamaica Race Track. Then progress in the form of a population-explosion out stripped the facilities of the Jamaica track, and on August 1, 1959 the last race was run at Jamaica. The possibilities of erecting a large housing development on the 170 acre site of the Jamaica track was the vision of Robert Moses, the then Chairman of the Slum Clearance Committee and City Construction Coordinator. The Jamaica Race Track was demolished in 1960 to make way for the complex, which was built for $ 86 million as a middle income cooperative.
Since Rochdale Village was to be the largest single cooperative housing community ever to be undertaken at that time, considerable thought was given to endowing it with an appropriate name. Because it was expected that the development would set a precedent for establishment of future "cooperative villages" around the country, the name most fitting seemed to be that of the little English village of Rochdale which gave birth to the Cooperative movement in 1844. This lead to the Rochdale Principles of Cooperation. Thus did Rochdale Village derive its name.
The architect's concept for Rochdale Village was an attractive community covering 122 city blocks, that would provide the residents with the park-like setting and facilities of suburbia within the limits of the urban Jamaica area.
Rochdale Village in southeast Queens opened in 1963 ( pop. over 25,000), lying within South Jamaica and bounded to the north by Baisley Boulevard and Bedell Street, to the east by Bedell Street, to the south by 137th Avenue, and to the west by Guy R. Brewer Boulevard. When the village first opened in 1963 it was the largest private housing complex in the world (later surpassed by Co-op City). The population was at first heavily Jewish but became mostly black in the early 1970s.
Rochdale Village is composed of 20 buildings, each with 3 sections, 13 floors. In addition, there are two shopping malls with parking lots, 11 cooperator parking lots (3,200 spaces) and a community center. This complex has its own power plant, its own post office, police precinct, 3 schools and is surrounded by other stores on Guy R.Brewer Boulevard.
Rochdale Village library was built to serve the Rochdale Village-Springfield Gardens area . The library was planned for the north side of 137th Avenue and the west side of 173th Street. In 1965, Mayor Robert Wagner approved preliminary plans for the proposed library branch. The nearest libraries are the South Jamaica branch and the Baisley Park branch. The library was dedicated on April 21, 1969 and invited then mayor John Lindsay, Municipal Service Administrator John G. Duba, Borough President Sidney Leviss, and trustees of the Queens library board. The Rochdale Village library is the 55th branch of the Queens system.
In 1985, the Rochdale Village branch opened its new Adult Learning Center to serve adults who wanted to improve their basic reading skills. Now it has been expanded to a full-fledged center, with computer-assisted instruction and a full range of instructional materials both for learners and teachers of Adult Basic Education.

Jury selection for the trial of John Taylor, who is accused of masterminding the killing of five people at Wendys in downtown Flushing two years ago, will begin in September, a State Supreme Court judge recently decided.
At a pretrial hearing May 1, Judge Steven Fisher set the date for jury selection to begin Sept. 10 in Taylors trial.
Taylor, 38, faces the death penalty on multiple murder charges. Prosecutors contend that Taylor planned and participated in the execution-style murder of five employees of the Wendys restaurant on Main Street on May 24, 2000.
Craig Godineaux, 32, confessed to his involvement in the massacre and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Before Godineauxs plea, his attorney argued in front of Fisher that her client was mentally retarded and therefore was ineligible to be put to death by lethal injection.
District Attorney Richard Brown asked for 60 days to review the defenses claim. After speaking with family members, friends and parole officers and reviewing a test that showed Godineauxs I.Q. ranked in the lowest 1 percent of the population, Brown opted not to seek the death penalty for Godineaux.
Originally accused of acting in concert with Godineaux, Taylor was hit with a supplemental indictment in April 2001 in which prosecutors said he masterminded the five murders.
Although Brown said he had hoped the trial would begin before this summer, lawyers on both sides of the case said they thought waiting until September was a good idea.
It seems like an appropriate date to set, said John Youngblood, one of Taylors lawyers, of the Capital Defender Office.
Youngblood said the jury pool was often thin in the summer, and that due to the high profile of the case, he wanted a large jury pool to increase the chances of selecting jurors who held few preconceptions about the case.
The defense has been striving through various motions to make sure the jury pool is as expanded as possible, and we dont want to lose jurors in the summer, he said.
Betsy Herzog, a spokeswoman for the Queens district attorneys office, said the prosecution is turning its attention away from pretrial motions and is now preparing for the trial.
Assistant District Attorney Daniel Saunders said it would be unduly burdensome to make jurors sit through a lengthy summer trial, Newsday reported.
The decision to wait until September also allows both sides to see the results of a pending appellate court case that may have implications for whether or not Taylor can be sentenced to death if convicted, lawyers said.
The case of Darrel Harris, a Brooklyn man sentenced to death for multiple murders, was taken before the New York State Court of Appeals last week.
The legal discussion over Harris is the first time a death sentence has gone before the states appeals court since Gov. George Pataki reinstated the death penalty in the state in 1995.
Whether or not the court decides to uphold the death penalty will influence how both sides of the case handle Taylors trial, Youngblood said.
David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the states Office of Court Administration, said the more than 27 months between the date of Taylors arrest and the beginning of jury selection in his trial was not atypical in a capital case.
Capital cases come with much more complex legal issues, said David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the Office of Court Administration. They are a different beast.

The STEM technique used at Brookhaven Lab provided the definitive answer. Though by itself, STEM cannot determine the structure of the viral protein coat, it is able to put boundaries on the number of molecules in each "turn" of the spiral-shaped structure. That is, it doesn't tell you the shape of the molecules but it can count them.
"STEM measures the number of electrons scattered from a length of filament, thereby 'weighing' the segment relative to a standard in this case, tobacco mosaic virus," said Brookhaven's Joe Wall. "Knowing the mass per unit length, the subunit size, and the axial repeat gives the number of subunits per turn." According to Stubbs, "The number of molecules per turn in the helix is the key. It allowed us to determine which structure of the alternatives we'd come up with from other techniques was correct."
One surprise was that the two viruses the scientists studied, though from unrelated families, turned out to have very similar structures: thin filaments with a spiral structure featuring just under nine molecular subunits per helical turn. "The spiral is so tightly packed that it could not be seen by conventional electron microscopy," Stubbs said.
Some scientists had predicted there would be similarities between these virus families, but there was a lot of disagreement. This study provides the first experimental evidence that they are indeed similar in shape. That could speed up the pace of discovery because what sc

Fricken sweet, though I can't really grasp much from the trailer. Seems like a bit of a b-movie, hopefully it won't be as bad as Beowulf (the live action one)
Problem is, pagan Vikings are where its at, the Christianized ones shouldn't really be associated with Valhalla right?

Probably on the cusp. Vikings were raiding the Scottish coast in 500+ and looting monasteries. Things are never as tidy as they should be.....
Edit; remember, we're talking Hollywood here. They had Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth meet at one point. Never actually happened.... and let's not think about Braveheart......

Or what was that steaming pile from a few years ago.....Pathfinder?
September 16th, 2009 #7
Yeah unfortunately viking movies tend to be really bad. Pathfinder was junk. Beowulf & Grendel wasn't much better. The look of Vallhalla Rising reminds me a lot of Beowulf & Grendel. B movie feel but nice locations. I wouldn't expect much from it though.
Heres an even lower-budget low budget viking movie:
Seems its finally available on netflix. I'll have to rent. Vikings vs Native Americans vs Christian Missionaries. I expect it to be horrible. Apparently there is a scene of one of the vikings pooping. And another scene where one of the Native gals rapes one of the vikings. Classy.
Its sad, the idea of a lone guy (viking) washing ashore in a completely alien wilderness (North America) could be a really nice intro into an interesting story. If it were more about alienation, paranoia, loneliness, and culture clash instead of sword swinging and pooping.

I think this is just a Viking movie.
There's no mention of the Norse gods like Odin, Freya, etc. Not what I was hoping for. Seriously one is made for the the Norse gods in the future because it will be so amazing.
There's a viking movie which was quite good called The 13th Warrior starring Antonio Banderas. Book was written by Michael Crichton.

Hadn't heard about that film before. I also love Viking films, adore the Norse mythology, so I might check it out, even though it does smell a tad like a b-film!
And since we're sharing info about other Viking films, you gotta check out an Icelandic Viking film from 1984 Called 'Hrafninn flýgur' or 'When the raven flies'. That lame excuse for a trailer is definitely bad, but the film is the shit! It even seemed if the whole thing is available on YouTube, for those interested--but uh, not subtitled :/
