What degree should I get to open/develop a community center?
I'm in my senior year graduating with a bs in public service and public policy. I want to become involved with community development and eventually open a community center on my own-I think I'll need my masters. I want to do community development, but my college doesn't offer that. I'll have to go out of state to get a ms in community development, or do online degree from penn state perhaps. I however could get my ms in public administration from my current college. Will either of these masters get me the education I need to develop a community center, or is something else better?? Or maybe I don't even need a masters?
I really need to know wat are the prices of community centres in dhaka, Bangladesh?
I knew about Bashundhara Convention Centre's hall rent at Taka 170,000.00. For other types of community centres the amount hovers around Taka 20,000.00 to 50,000.00. One of my friend's daughter got married at China-Bangla Int'l Conference (Now Bangabandhu) that was around Taka 400,000. Falcon used to be Taka 50,000.00, but I am not sure what they charge now. Hope above helps.
If atheist community centers were built, would atheists go to them or would they be abandoned?
They'd probably stand abandoned. Atheists, in general, have real lives (real as in founded in reality as we understand it).On that basis alone, atheists don't feel any need to find others like themselves solely for the rather vicarious purpose of propping up their philosophical ideology. They are more likely to seek social activities based on their interests, such as sports, arts and crafts, book clubs etc. Such groups have the social richness which comes from any eclectic group of people: they may share a common interest, but the rest of their lives will be richly diverse, making for stimulating socialization.Many theist communes thrive on the fact that too many religions' dogma drive their followers into a sort of self-imposed isolation. Those places can too often become recruiting centres, where the weak of will, the poor, and the needy can be preached at and eventually -- they hope -- converted.By contrast, atheists have no proselytising agenda. We don't give a fig about numbers, and I personally could not care less if I were the only atheist on Earth.
I got blacklisted from my local community center which has a library yet I have a great passion for reading. What should be my course of action?
A bibliophile and a pugilist: 26th President of the United States Teddy Roosevelt would have approved. Not only was he a boxer and scholar at Harvard, he boxed in the White House; on one occasion this led to him injuring an eye, costing him part of his sight.Like Teddy, perhaps you should keep your sporting and reading limited to appropriate locations. In the meantime, you may:Write a nice letter or email of apology to the librarians who banned you, expressing both your sincere regret for your actions and frustration at not having access to their reading materials. Eventually, they are sure to relent in the face of courtesy and bibliomania.Borrow from the school library, if you are a student,Purchase your own reading materials at your local bookstore or over the Internet, soon accumulating a library of your own,Download materials for free from the library system, or from sites such as Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine @ Archive.org or http://gutenberg.orgJoin a boxing gym or dojo for the martial art of your choice.

Need to get fit but hardly no money. Ideas?
do more work outs and eat less. It doesnt really have to cost money to stay fit. For your jogging problem, you can actually buy one of those reflective cuffs which they sell at any sports shop to warn drivers that someone is walking or jogging if its foggy or if its dark. try getting a bike if its really too dangerous or try some sporting activities, like badminton, which you can do even in your drive way or street corner with a friend. Ultimate frisbee is also a good activity, or even walking your dog.
What are some good ideas for a four year old birthday party?
Only invite a few young children. Try for either after breakfast or just after nap time. Fatigue and hunger can increase agitation. Get as much supervision as you can, and talk to the other supervisors before about getting signals and solutions straight.Ask clearly, with age-appropriate terms, if anybody needs to use the bathroom. Keep asking at various times through the party.Young children have trouble with transitions. If you have an activity before the cake, tell them beforehand. ("In five minutes we are going to play with balloons.") Try to have gentle play, if any, after cake time: some of them are novices on this digestion thing.I say go for broad, silly, and affordable ideas. Our local baseball team is the Pirates. Our church had a Pirates vs. Vikings party, where children could dress either as pirates or vikings: you can imagine the activities. Is there a farm or zoo nearby? (Ask if the children have allergies before any party.) What about a jungle party in a public playground? Face painting so the children can look like animals, dollar store animal figures for party favors (large, so they can't be swallowed), and animal-themed activities: for example, elephant walks for slow races. If you have a large, concrete-paved area nearby, ask if you can have a sidewalk chalk party with the large chalk. (Specify old clothing for the children.) You could make a chalk obstacle walk with appropriately age-appropriate challenges. How about a science party for a shady, grassy area? If the day is hot, give them folded paper boats in different styles, and ask if they can predict which one will float best. As a transition, slowly drop droplets of food coloring into a big, translucent container of water: that will calm the kids down. Pass out dollar store magnifying glasses after the cake and cookies, and ask them what the bugs look like. A robot party, with cardboard box robots! A star party, with cardboard tube constellations! (Night pictures with crayons on black pieces of paper.) Even the tried and true themes -- patriotic themes, seasonal themes, desert islands and cats and dogs -- are new to them.
What are worthwhile community service projects or activities to particiapate in?
I've often preferred to do a variety of things within the community. You local volunteer center can help you find the volunteer activity that best matches your interests and meets the community needs. To find your local volunteer center, use the following resources: Hands On Network: http://www.handsonnetwork.org/our-networ... Points of Light Foundation: http://pointsoflight.org/centers/find_ce... Or you can work through your local United Way office. They also specialize in finding worthwhile service projects for volunteers. http://www.unitedway.org All of these resources can help you find one-time, short-term, or long-term volunteer opportunities, and connect you with other non-profit agencies that can benefit from your help. Good Luck!
