In Queens, They’re Up in Arms Over Shelter

Catherine Bakery, a patisserie, recently moved from downtown Flushing to College Point in Queens to save on rent costs. But now, the store will be across the street from a 200-person men’s homeless shelter, scheduled to open by September 2019.

Cindy Yang, a cashier at the bakery on 127th St., is worried that the business will suffer. “Customers won’t come to the café, if they see homeless men idling,” she said.

The proposed shelter at 127-03 20th Ave. has ignited intense controversy among College Point residents, storeowners and school officials for the last two months. There have been rallies, online petitions and a call to raise funds to sue the city if the shelter opens.

Much of the resistance is based on the proximity of the shelter to two elementary schools, one junior high and one all-girls private school, along with several day care centers and four businesses in the immediate area.

Hundreds of anxious residents showed up Monday night to a contentious town hall -style meeting with Department of Homeless Services officials and representatives of the not-for-profit organization, Westhab, which will provide services at the proposed shelter.

The atmosphere was raucous during the three-hour meeting at P.S. 29 in College Point. When DHS First Deputy Commissioner Jackie Bray tried to address residents’ concerns, the crowd drowned her out with boos and shouts of “liar.”

“I always know that when communities come out it’s really a signal that people are invested in their community, that they’re invested in what happens to their community,” Bray said as she pleaded with the crowd to show some “respect” and “decorum.”

“First of all, we have men, women and families in our shelter system who are from this community,” she told the crowd. She said the department “is trying very hard to open shelters where we have no shelters, so that people who are experiencing homelessness from those communities  can be sheltered closer to the important social supports that we know are critical to returning people to stability.”

But residents were not persuaded. “I feel College Point is a very generous community, we’ve always helped,” said Roseanne Leone, 56. “What is it is this community can’t take anymore. And then to put it right there with all these kids? Insane.”

Days before the meeting, a local locksmith, Mario Turriago, explained why he has a jar on his desk for residents to drop donations against the shelter.

“Who would want to come and shop when there are homeless people roaming around this whole area?” said Turriago, owner of Spectrum Locks, on 129th St., steps away from the proposed shelter. “Who knows, they can start selling drugs, panhandle or rob customers outside the stores. Why create a problem when we have no problem now.”

Carol Chen, owner of a day care center in the neighborhood, said that almost all parents of children at her center have asked her about the shelter.

“If parents move out because of the shelter, we would have to shut down our business,” said Chen, who has been running Best Child Care for more than 15 years. “We have 30 children studying in two classrooms every day, I don’t understand why they can’t put the shelter where there are less people.”

But Lin Chenwei, father of a 3-year-old girl and a homeowner in College Point, thinks that the shelter should be in a crowded neighborhood.

“I am not against homeless people, I am thinking about my wife walking alone late at night,” said Chenwei. “So, I really prefer if they put them in Downtown Manhattan where people are watching and can call the cops.”

Kelly Vega, a homeless woman at Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, said isolation is not the solution.

“Shelters should be built in an environment where we have access to things, everyone else has access to,” said Vega. “If you want homeless people to prosper and get jobs, being around other homeless people doesn’t make any sense, they need to be where they have access to food and education.”

Jamie Powlovich, executive director for the Coalition for Homeless Youth, said that shelters should be equally placed in all neighborhoods.

“Homeless people in the city must have an opportunity to remain in their existing community,” said Powlovich. “Individuals criminalize and stereotype this population a lot, and it’s unfortunate that we often see a ‘Not in My Backyard’ approach.”

As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume

Google Maps, updated continuously and delivered to more than one billion people on their devices, gets names of neighborhoods from third-party data, public sources, satellites and, often most important, users. If you were a Google Maps employee and one San Francisco neighborhood is simultaneously called (1) Rincon Hill, (2) South Beach, and (3) South of Market, and a nonprofit group is trying to clean up and rebrand the neighborhood as (4) “East Cut,” what name would you use on Google Maps? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?

For decades, the district south of downtown and alongside San Francisco Bay here was known as either Rincon Hill, South Beach or South of Market. This spring, it was suddenly rebranded on Google Maps to a name few had heard: the East Cut.

The peculiar moniker immediately spread digitally, from hotel sites to dating apps to Uber, which all use Google’s map data. The name soon spilled over into the physical world, too. Real-estate listings beckoned prospective tenants to the East Cut. And news organizations referred to the vicinity by that term.

“It’s degrading to the reputation of our area,” said Tad Bogdan, who has lived in the neighborhood for 14 years. In a survey of 271 neighbors that he organized recently, he said, 90 percent disliked the name.

The swift rebranding of the roughly 170-year-old district is just one example of how Google Maps has now become the primary arbiter of place names. With decisions made by a few Google cartographers, the identity of a city, town or neighborhood can be reshaped, illustrating the outsize influence that Silicon Valley increasingly has in the real world.

The Detroit neighborhood now regularly called Fishkorn (pronounced FISH-korn), but previously known as Fiskhorn (pronounced FISK-horn)? That was because of Google Maps. Midtown South Central in Manhattan? That was also given life by Google Maps.

Yet how Google arrives at its names in maps is often mysterious. The company declined to detail how some place names came about, though some appear to have resulted from mistakes by researchers, rebrandings by real estate agents — or just outright fiction.

In Los Angeles, Jeffrey Schneider, a longtime architect in the Silver Lake area, said he recently began calling the hill he lived on Silver Lake Heightsin ads for his rental apartment downstairs, partly as a joke. Last year, Silver Lake Heights also appeared on Google Maps.

“Now for every real-estate listing in this neighborhood, they refer to it,” he said. “You see a name like that on a map and you believe it.”

Before the internet era, neighborhood names developed via word of mouth, newspaper articles and physical maps that were released periodically. But Google Maps, which debuted in 2005, is updated continuously and delivered to more than one billion people on their devices. Google also feeds map data to thousands of websites and apps, magnifying its influence.

In May, more than 63 percent of people who accessed a map on a smartphone or tablet used Google Maps, versus 19.4 percent for the Chinese internet giant Alibaba’s maps and 5.5 percent for Apple Maps, according to comScore, which tracks web traffic.

Google said it created its maps from third-party data, public sources, satellites and, often most important, users. People can submit changes, which are reviewed by Google employees. A Google spokeswoman declined further comment.

Yet some submissions are ruled upon by people with little local knowledge of a place, such as contractors in India, said one former Google Maps employee, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Other users with a history of accurate changes said their updates to maps take effect instantly.

Many of Google’s decisions have far-reaching consequences, with the maps driving increased traffic to quiet neighborhoods and once almost provoking an international incident in 2010 after it misrepresented the boundary between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

The service has also disseminated place names that are just plain puzzling. In New York, Vinegar Hill Heights, Midtown South Central (now NoMad), BoCoCa (for the area between Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens), and Rambo (Right Around the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) have appeared on and off in Google Maps.

Matthew Hyland, co-owner of New York’s Emily and Emmy Squared pizzerias, who polices Google Maps in his spare time, said he considered those all made-up names, some of which he deleted from the map. Other obscure neighborhood names gain traction because of Google’s endorsement, he said. Someone once told him they lived in Stuyvesant Heights, “and then I looked at Google Maps and it was there. And I was like, ‘What? No. Come on,’” he said.

In Detroit, some residents have been baffled by Google’s map of their city, which is blanketed with neighborhood monikers like NW Goldberg, Fishkorn and the Eye. Those names have been on Google Maps since at least 2012.

Timothy Boscarino, a Detroit city planner, traced Google’s use of those names to a map posted online around 2002 by a few locals. Google almost identically copied that map’s neighborhoods and boundaries, he said — down to its typos. One result was that Google transposed the k and h for the district known as Fiskhorn, making it Fishkorn.

A former Detroit city planner, Arthur Mullen, said he created the 2002 map as a side project and was surprised his typos were now distributed widely. He said he used old books and his local knowledge to make the map, approximating boundaries at times and inserting names with tenuous connections to neighborhoods, hoping to draw feedback.

“I shouldn’t be making a mistake and 20 years later people are having to live with it,” Mr. Mullen said.

He admitted some of his names were questionable, such as the Eye, a 60-block patch next to a cemetery on Detroit’s outskirts. He said he thought he spotted the name in a document, but was unsure which one. “Do I have my research materials from doing this 18 years ago? No,” he said.

Now, local real-estate listings, food-delivery sites and locksmith ads use Fishkorn and the Eye. Erik Belcarz, an optometrist from nearby Novi, Mich., named his new publishing start-up Fishkorn this year after seeing the name on Google Maps.

“It rolls off the tongue,” he said.

Detroit officials recently canvassed the community to make an official map of neighborhoods. That exercise fixed some errors, like Fiskhorn (though Fishkorn remains on Google Maps). But for many districts where residents were unsure of the history, authorities relied largely on Google. The Eye and others are now part of that official map.

In San Francisco, the East Cut name originated from a neighborhood nonprofit group that residents voted to create in 2015 to clean and secure the area. The nonprofit paid $68,000 to a “brand experience design company” to rebrand the district.

Andrew Robinson, executive director of the nonprofit, now called the East Cut Community Benefit District (and previously the Greater Rincon Hill Community Benefit District), said the group’s board rejected names like Grand Narrows and Central Hub. Instead they chose the East Cut, partly because it referenced an 1869 construction project to cut through nearby Rincon Hill. The nonprofit then paid for streetlight banners and outfitted street cleaners with East Cut apparel.

But it wasn’t until Google Maps adopted the name this spring that it got attention — and mockery.

“The East Cut sounds like a 17 dollar sandwich,” Menotti Minutillo, an Uber engineer who works on the neighborhood’s border, said on Twitter in May.

Mr. Robinson said his team asked Google to add the East Cut to its maps. A Google spokeswoman said employees manually inserted the name after verifying it through public sources. The company’s San Francisco offices are in the neighborhood (as is The New York Times bureau), and one of the East Cut nonprofit’s board members is a Google employee.

Google Maps has also validated other little-known San Francisco neighborhoods. Balboa Hollow, a roughly 50-block district north of Golden Gate Park, trumpets on its website that it is a distinct neighborhood. Its proof? Google Maps.

“Don’t believe us?” its website asks. “Well, we’re on the internet; so we must be real.”

WFMV

Walked down 7th Avenue, past the gorgeous Greenwich Locksmiths, and stopped at Morton Street. There’s a tiny triangle of pavement right there with a tiny, fenced, triangular park. Since I’d just been on my old triangular block a little ways north, and the building I grew up in is triangular, I decided that maybe it was good luck to walk on triangles today. So I crossed the street and led my two dog charges past this minuscule park, just in case it was. You’d be surprised how frequently my precise dog-walking route each day is determined by thoughts like this.

I noticed lettering on the side of the black iron fence. It read:

WFMV, 2006

?????!!!?!?!?!??!???!???

That’s it. Just “WFMV” and a date. The whole purpose of my writing this post this afternoon was to tell you that, in case there’s an explanation out there. Being a radio DJ, my first thought was to immediately Google those call letters, which as it turns out belong to a gospel station in Columbia, South Carolina. It’s entirely possible that someone involved with that station sponsored a patch of land in downtown Manhattan, but if so, I feel like there would be a little more information on the gate about that. Perhaps I’m wrong. My next thought was to wonder if possibly, maybe, “WFMV” could be a bastardization of the call letters WFMU, my own station. But if one of our listeners did this in 2006, surely we would have been told. Wouldn’t we? To further complicate things, the name is ALSO one letter away from our neighbor on the dial and sometime bitter rival, WFUV.

My last guess was that “WFMV” are somebody’s initials, somebody modest and nice who dedicated this park and pays to maintain it. Or maybe the initials of that person’s deceased relative.

I let one of the dogs lift his leg and pee against the iron bars-- a small amount of pee, since we’d already been out for some time-- and then kept walking west on Morton Street. The triangle might not have been good luck, but it certainly provided something extra to my day.

Locksmiths Don't Just Break Locks

Right from when our world started, man has been creating his own spaces, homes, work spots, safe spaces, and storage areas and so on. The reason why the need arose for these spaces that are distinct in their structure and function is almost obvious, nevertheless let's look at the explicable two fold reasons for this distinction.

Two was for the higher purpose of safety of certain articles that are of higher value and undeserving of the onslaught of open areas where weather and other factors could deplete their condition and eventually value.

Business Development, How The Experts Do It

The best strategies for business development include focusing on the outcome of the endeavors such as about the market demand for a product or service. There are several fascinating products that are simply limited by the universal application of the product. Therefore, the strategies must include a focus on a niche or wider market. The new business may provide a service that is not offered by the current competitors such with services for mobile windshield replacement. The service would allow the customers to have a windshield installed at a home or office location.

Market

The market may have several competitors that offer a variety of services for a wide range of prices. Therefore, the target market for the new business should be identified with demographic details, occupational details, economic details and details about the method for doing business. There are several things to consider to develop a business such as the information about the customers who will use and purchase the services. The product or service must have a marketable value to customers, which could include homeowners or songwriters.

Prices

The prices for products can be lowered with more advanced methods of production. Large corporations make huge investments in equipment and machinery, which can produce an individual product for less costs than would be incurred if the product was made by a skilled craftsman who had used hand tools. Therefore, the product should not be an item that can be mass produced more cheaply such as a plastic toy. The best approach for lowering prices is to offer products that are unique or to offer customized services, which includes landscaping services.

Outsourcing

Some of the functions within the business may need to be outsourced. Several companies may not be able to afford the costs for monitoring a phone line for 24 during each day. Those same companies may also prefer to not have recorded messages from the customers because the managers want to be advised immediately about any concerns. Therefore, those companies may need to use an answering service or outsourced customer service department that will contact a manager if there is a problem such as with hazardous wastes.

Partners

Some companies may form a network of partners who can work together to complete a project. There could be system designers, experts who make models, software engineers and plumbers who work together to install a new plumbing system in a building. The software engineers could write code for new software that would be used to make virtual presentations that would be presented to the customers for the projects. Therefore, the best strategies for business development include planning for solutions to any potential problems such as with finding an electrician who has the necessary skills to complete a project.

Quality

The business organization should have a structure with ethical business practices. The customers should receive the best services, which must be protected by a promise from the company to correct any problems. There is no attraction for a customer to do business with a company that does not stand behind the services and products because a lawsuit is the only way to achieve a resolution. Therefore, there are several things to consider to develop a business, which may be financed with the personal investments from entrepreneurs who only want to succeed.

How to Change A Door Lock

Changing a door lock is a challenging task, and we won't always advise a non-professional to do it. As if you are not careful, it can do permanent damage to your lock or the door. But it might be necessary for you to do it by own while moving into a new home or experience a burglary. If you do not want to replace the whole set, there are kit available for the same brand, which you can use to rekey the lock. It is also easy to repair the deadbolt if needed. Purchase a piece of equipment labeled for your lock's brand.

How to Replace Knob Lock:

1. At first, you need to remove the screws from the old lock. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver. Unfasten the screws positioned on the inside knob plate. Now pull the knobs form each side away from the door.

2. Some knobs won't have screws on it. In that case, you need to enter a paperclip into the small holes of the doorknob. The knob latch of each side will be released, and you will be able to pull off the knobs.

3.You must buy a lock of the same brand that fits your door.

4. Once you have removed the knobs, it's time to fit the new one, measure the diameter of the lock's hole. The distance from its middle to the edge of the door is also needed. Check the current door lock's brand name. Then find a lock that matches the specification and matches the dimensions at nearby home improvement stores.

5.The next step is to remove the latch. You need to unhitch the two screws that secure the latch plate in place.

6.There will be a cardboard template with instructions on how to fit the lock onto the door.

7.Put this template above the hole in your door and see if it matches. If it does not match exactly with the hole, then the lock you bought is wrong.

8.If the template matches precisely, use the new screws through the holes and secure the latch with the door. You should use the original screws that came with your kit.

9.The last step is to put the door locks together. Put the outside knob with the keyhole and the inside knob on their corresponding sides. Then slide them through the lock chamber toward each other. They will meet in the middle and connect. You don't need to force them together; they will slide together easily.

Rekeying a Lock:

1 .The first thing you need to do is purchasing a rekeying kit that is designated for your lock's brand. You can purchase online or from hardware and home improvement shops. But read the instructions thoroughly before you buy it.

2. The next step is to remove the exterior knobs. There will be a thin, wire-like tool that you can use to remove the knobs.

3. Unlock the door by inserting your key.

4. Use the wire-like tool on the interior doorknob to release the knobs and then pull the outside knob out of the lock.

5. After removing the exterior lock, check if any plastic or metal is holding the lock cylinder in place. Push them out and put pressure on the key - the lock cylinder will make pop from the back of the knob.

6.Use the wrench-like tool to remove the retainer ring. Then you can slide the device around the horseshoe-shaped ring. After that, turn the tool and pop off the ring.

7.The kit includes a cylinder follower or tube-shaped tool as well. You can use it to slide the plug out of the housing.to pop out the plug. You will have to push it through the cylinder housing from the side opposite the keyhole.

8. After that, remove the old pins from the cylinder plug. The instructions manual will show how to remove your plug's old pins thoroughly.

9. After removing the old lock pins, slide the new key into the keyhole. There will be colored or numbered pins in your new kit. The instructions will include a code. Insert the pins into the plug's slots using the tweezers included in the kit so that they match the code.

10. The final step is to reassemble the lock. After installing the pin, push the plug back into the cylinder housing. Slide the retainer ring back into place. Then pop the cylinder back into the doorknob and replace any plastic or metal sheets.

11. Push the exterior door back into its slot in the lock. Rotate the key till it the knob pops and secures into place.

Changing a Deadbolt:

1. The first step is to remove the faceplate of the old deadbolt. After removing the screws, either pull the interior faceplate out or rotate it counter-clockwise and remove it. Then pull out or twist to remove the outer plate.

2. The next step is to remove the set plate and bolt. The set plate and bolt are attached to the edge of the door with screws. Once you remove the screws, pull out the set plate and bolt to uninstall the old deadbolt.

3. After removing the deadbolt, pop out the cylinder housing from the exterior faceplate .then rekey it as you would a knob lock. If the key is lost, you can take the parts to a locksmith and have a new key made.

4. At last install, the new deadbolt's set plate and bolt to replace the entire lock, insert the bolt through the hole where the old bolt fit.

5. Finally, you need to attach the new faceplates and secure them with screws.

While locksmiths have that special role for our varied needs when it comes to locks, their skills and specializations also vary. Locksmiths can either specialize in residential or commercial locksmith services. Whatever locksmith service you need, you should be careful in choosing the locksmith to hire and you should set that certain set of standards for you not to waste on some who render unprofessional service.

Residential locksmiths offer light automotive locksmith services like opening locked doors and duplicating or making new keys. Meanwhile, commercial locksmith apparently specializes on government and corporate clients who usually need high-end and sophisticated lock facilities and equipments. They are most likely hired to ensure that security in the commercial facilities is ensured.

Today, most locksmiths can address any problem pertaining to locks, while ensuring added security given the high-technology locksmith equipment available in this era. Now, locksmiths have the ability to design and manage key control system important for establishments or homes which are in need of high-end security systems.

Clients, however, should always ensure that quality service is rendered by the locksmith they hire for certain "locksmithing needs." As a client, you should make sure that you dealing with a licensed locksmith. This helps you to be confident enough that the locksmith is well-trained who could give out the quality of service you expect.

If you are going to hire an individual locksmith, make sure to check necessary documents to check if he is a licensed one. Some clients find it more practical to hire services from well-known locksmith shops, if their budget permits them to do so. But if you are on a tight budget, it is still possible to find someone who could render a kind of service you deserve as a client.

A good locksmith, aside from being a licensed one, is someone who knows what he is doing. The number of years in the business could be one of the benchmarks to check this aspect. You may ask the locksmith you have in mind on the different sides of locksmithing he is familiar of. This would also help you assess the abilities of the locksmith. Getting feedback from the past clients of a locksmith shop, for instance, could also be a concrete basis if they deserve your time and money or not.

A good locksmith should also be a reliable one. It means he should be someone who would be there whenever you need a locksmith at home or at the office. Professional locksmiths make sure that their clients would get the time and attention they need, no matter how simple the problem of each client is.

Help In Finding a Professionally Trained Locksmith

A little known fact is that the locksmith industry is not regulated in any way by the Government, Police or any official regulatory body. Unfortunately this means that anyone can work as a locksmith regardless of their capability, skill or training.

Finding a fully trained and skilled locksmith can be difficult if you don't know what you are looking for and it is very important to make sure that the locksmith you use is knowledgeable and capable of carrying out the job or venture that he or she has been assigned with.

With no official regulation to fall back on want do you do? Well, first off my advice is to keep away from large call centres as they will more often than not let anyone onto their books with little or no vetting and most of the time you don't even know what company in fact turned up and whether they were in actual fact a locksmith at all. keep in mind, this is somebody you are letting into your home, someone you are putting a lot of confidence into, you don't want a third party simply sending anyone out to you.

So what is a locksmith call centre? There are a number of these call centres up all over the country at trying to cash in on the price comparison trend. They are fundamentally an agency offering locksmith services, but are not locksmiths themselves. These centres tout themselves as having 1000's of calls a week for locksmith services and small independent locksmiths are cold called and convinced to sign up with the guarantee of work.

Locksmith call centres claim to have locksmiths in every area of the country, yet people who have used them have found this to be incorrect after waiting 4 or 5 hours for a locksmith then being told by the locksmith that he/she has travelled 100's of miles hence the 4/ 5 hours wait. The charges are also very high and normally include an expensive call out fee, bear in mind the call centre needs to take their cut from each job.

My recommendation is to always use an independent locksmith that you have found yourself for emergency call out services, fees will be less as there is no middle man taking a cut and many don't even charge a call out fee, they will just bill you for the job. A lot of people turn to the internet to search for a locksmith particularly after a lock out where you are only equipped with a smart phone.

A local locksmith with typically have a local number, this is the easiest way to spot a local independent locksmith, some may have a nationwide low rate number if they cover quiet a large area, if this is the case then a quick visit to their website should disclose their locality, if a locksmith doesn't have at least an address on their website keep away from them as there is something not quiet right.

A competent locksmith will more often than not have a decent mobile optimised website that will have their address at the very least and maybe a location map showing their location or the areas they cover. You will usually find a list of services they offer and most locksmiths offer an emergency call out service for home/business lock outs but not all locksmiths offer automotive services so make sure you check that they are suitable for the job.

One more thing to check for on a locksmith website is certification logos and references. Even though the locksmith industry is unregulated there are a number of private bodies that a locksmith can be a voluntary member of, being a member of a number of these unofficial bodies is a good signal that they are qualified and experienced.

LT Locksmiths Lancaster offer a 24 hour 7 days a week emergency locksmith services throughout Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire covering all the major towns and cities including Lancaster, Morecambe, Kendal, Heysham, Windermere and Bentham
