Mortgage Fraudster Caused Victims to Lose Out on Dream of Homeownership

‘Kensington Blues’ gives devastating picture of drug addiction in Philadelphia

By Erin Blakemore | The Washington Post

March 16 

cnbnews graphics file

 

In 2017, more than 1,200 people died of drug overdoses in Philadelphia. The vast majority were caused by opioids. Fentanyl, heroin and painkillers all took their toll. And the city’s Kensington neighborhood, once a working-class bastion, is the epicenter of its opioid epidemic.

Jeffrey Stockbridge, a Philadelphia photographer and fine-art printer, has spent a decade in Kensington, documenting the lives of neighborhood residents with substance-use disorder. Photographs, recordings and videos from “Kensington Blues,” his award-winning project about Philadelphia’s opioid crisis, are on view at Drexel University’s Paul Peck Alumni Center through March 30.

The 2017 toll was a record for opioid deaths in the city. Although overdose deaths may have dropped last year, Philadelphia is still grappling with how to tackle opioid use. City officials are trying to raise awareness of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use. The city’s attempt to establish the nation’s first supervised injection site faces opposition from the Justice Department.

“As a citizen, I am deeply concerned that not enough is being done to help those who are suffering,” Stockbridge writes. “This exhibition is a call to action.”

Benefits You Will Receive from Renting Private Wedding Transport

 

The wedding vehicle is an important aspect to consider when planning a wedding. You cannot go to different places without a car. You might even be late for the big day. If you have a car at home, you can use it for the event. Ask someone else to drive it for you. Since it is a wedding vehicle, you need to decorate it to match the occasion.

 

Dealing with all these details could be stressful. Instead of using your car and asking someone you know to drive it, you could instead hire a private wedding vehicle. In London, you can reserve one at weddingcarhire.co.uk if you want a quality car to use for the big day. These are some benefits you will receive by doing so.

4 Home DIY Ideas For Beginners

 

When it comes to doing DIY at home there are a number of things that you can do to make your project stand out from any other. We shall take a look at some of the areas within the home that you could have a go at decorating/updating yourself.

 

1. Painting

 

It’s a simple task to start but changing the colour of your walls could freshen and brighten up your home. However, you can take this concept a step further by using different types of paints e.g. blackboard paint for a child’s bedroom, stencilling or stamping designs or even creating a feature wall using wallpaper. For ideas when it comes to stamps try a Singapore rubber stamp as there are a multitude ofdeigns on offer for youto choose from. Also, look to different paint textures. An example of this as we said above is to cover a whole wall in blackboard paint. This will be great for younger children who can then draw their own designs in chalk as they see fit. As also mentioned before, you could also look at creating a feature wall. Usually the feature wall is the wall opposite  the entrance to the room. Think about how the light will reflect off the wallpaper before choosing your wallpaper design.

Common Signs that Your Loved One is Battling Addiction

 

(March 14, 2019)--In a country where the rate of addiction is growing daily and the opioid epidemic becoming more severe, you need to keep an eye on your child, sibling, and loved ones. It is a bad image to see your best friend or child slipping down in addiction and eventually being wrecked by the drug or alcohol. Of course, you don’t want such a thing to happen to your loved one.

That’s why you need to be there to help and support your loved one especially if they are battling with alcohol or drug addiction. You have to understand that they will never come forth to tell you of their struggle. That makes it very important for you to know the signs a person struggling with addiction portrays. When you see the following signs in them offer your support to them:

1. Mood swings and behavior changes

You will notice that your loved one has some weird behavior in social interactions and if they are working or studying, they will probably cause problems. Sometimes they will be happy and within some minutes they will be sad without any definite reason.

Some who are extroverts may just start keeping quiet and avoid any eye contact. They may also become easily irritable or depressed. In case they are driving, they could just be reckless. These are great pointers that you should start looking for some of the best addiction rehabs in NJ.

cognitive impairment

Newswise — SAN FRANCISCO – March 11, 2019 – Researchers from the Duke Eye Center have shown that a new, non-invasive imaging device can see signs of Alzheimer’s disease in a matter of seconds.
