Dank’s work is based on The National Institute of Justice funded study interviewing 249 prostituted youth in New York City. Her study of the data generated a prevalence rate in addition to an explanation of the attributes of the CSEC networks and its members. Social capital theories explain how youth become involved in the CSEC market and why it is difficult for them to leave. Findings suggest that youth who possess social capital before entering the market are more… More >>
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Three New York City teachers have been fired for improper conduct with students on Facebook.
In addition to “friending” too many students and posting inappropriate comments, one teacher’s Facebook friendship with a former student led to a sexual relationship.
Chadwin Reynolds, Laurie Hirsch and Stephen D’Andrilli apparently “liked” too many students and have now prompted a teachable moment.
Reynolds, 37, wrote “This is sexy,” under some of the girl’s Facebook photos. Reynolds, a former Fordham High School for the Arts teacher, even allegedly tried to get a teen to go on a date with him. He got her phone number and sent her gifts including flowers, candy and a teddy bear.
Hirsch, 30, a former paraprofessional at Bryant High School in Long Island City, Queens, was let go in May when her Facebook dealings with a student became known. She posted a picture of her kissing the male student, which prompted an investigation. The boy told authorities that he and Hirsch had sex in her apartment 10 times. Hirsch said nothing occurred until after the student left the school.
“I was suspended indefinitely” for using a cell phone too frequently during school time, she said in a New York Post report. “And it didn’t seem in any way, shape or form that I was getting my job back” when the relationship with the boy took off.
D’Andrilli’s interactions were a bit more creepy. The former Manhattan substitute teacher “friended” numerous female students at Essex Street Academy. School investigators say he even tried to visit one female student during her Saturday classes and told another girl that her “boyfriend [did not] deserve a beautiful girl like you.”
Currently there is no school board policy that addresses teacher-student communication on Facebook

Finally decided to start your own company but having problems finding the necessary startup capital in order to get it running? Have no fear, the Government is here! Yes, I did just say The Government. The US Government offers free grants to small business owners as a way to help encourage growth and stability. While there are thousands of these offers available every year, very few are even applied for? Why is that? Because most people don’t even know they exist!
Every new entrepreneurs dreams to take his business to the Forbes 100 List but most of them fail to realize realistic goals. One of the largest contributing factors to this is a lack of startup capital or initial investment. Running your own business is expensive, something that is easy to miss-judge. For this reason, the Government offers free grants that are available to boost new business here in America.
So how can I get one of these small business grants? Simple, you need to search one of the many thousand offers available to find one that fits your needs and requirements. Some guidelines regarding that process as well as some tips on what to look for in a grant offer can be found at the Small Business Grant Money Guide. Once you’ve found the offer that fits your company you then need to submit a business plan/grant application.
Some important things to keep in mind when applying to offers:
1. Presentation of the business plan -
The first important step is the presentation. Any small business grant distributor will be interested primarily in how you tend to use the money if they give it to you, and also how you plan on using the funds to make a profit. The difference between a bank loan and a federal grant is you don’t have to show them how you’ll repay it (grants are cash gifts), which means you should focus on the ultimate goal of your business rather than the small steps you plan on taking to generate revenue along the way.
2. The message conveyed in the business plan –
The business plan is the cornerstone of any grant application This plan give a clear idea of your goals and vision as well as a rough timetable for accomplishing these goals. The potential in your business is shown in your business plan and it is the plan itself, which increases the confidence that the grant distributers will have in you.
3. The Eligibility for small business grants sanction -
Small business grants are readily extended to small business industries to help them grow, only if they have a potential.
Small business grants bodies have their own objectives and give grants money to those satisfying them in the best possible manner.
The location of the business is one big reason for sanction of small business grants. The government wants decentralization of industries in order to avoid migration toward cities. For example, you’d have an easier time securing a government small business grant if you planned on being headquartered in upstate New York rather than downtown New York City.
The Small Business Grant Money Guide provides detailed information on how to find and get a grant to help finance your small business.
