The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is launching a new public feedback initiative, building on the “How Did We Do?” effort to create a continuous feedback loop with the people we serve. Starting in September, 2021, New Yorkers who have filed a criminal complaint will receive a text message with a link to a customer service survey. This will help to identify customer service gaps, as well as strengths, and provide tangible data to inform policy improvements. The text message will arrive about a month after the complaint is filed, giving the NYPD an opportunity to investigate the case and ensure complainants of certain crimes, such as domestic violence and homicide, are not receiving texts.
This program is beginning in two precincts: the 25th precinct, encompassing the northern portion of East Harlem, including Marcus Garvey Park, Harlem Art Park, and the 125th Street Metro-North Station; and the 113th precinct, encompassing the southeastern area of Jamaica, Queens, along with St. Albans, Hollis, Springfield Gardens, South Ozone Park, South Jamaica, Addisleigh Park, and Locust Manor. This program is possible through the support of the New York City Police Foundation.

You should know that there was a time when becoming a Citizen of the United States and becoming an American was part of the American Dream.
Immigrants dreamed and looked forward to obtaining that beautiful blue passport that when presented identified them as a full-fledged American, and they felt that they had acquired part of that American Dream. Acquiring that American Passport gave those who possessed it prestige, liberty and the protections that came with being a citizen of the United States people of other nations could only wish for.
You should know that becoming an American Citizen came with pride and inalienable rights, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This came with the opportunities and the promise that anyone can prosper and acquire the happiness they seek with a good education and hard work. As American Citizens we are afforded the right to elect our leaders and representatives on the city, state, and federal levels. The beauty of America is that when you become an American Citizen all citizens become one people, the American People.
It is important for you to know that it is painful and disheartening to hear when New York City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez said that if American Citizens, do not like granting the undocumented immigrants the right to vote then “pack your bags and move to another city or to another country.” Wow! What nerve and audacity to say this to American Citizens who have fought for this country and have abide by our country’s laws and New York State Constitution.
Could you Imagine what we have come to! while some have waited in line, sacrificed everything, their lives, their families, their positions to obtain American Citizenship and others such as Puerto Ricans who shed their blood and sacrificed to obtained American Citizenship, Ydanis Rodriguez now tells us, that if we do not agree with him in violating the Constitution, which he swore to uphold, and allow non-citizens or the undocumented who entered this country without authorization, or documents, that we should leave our homes, City, State or even our Nation.
Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, who happens to be a Dominican, knows full…

Did you know the average American had nearly $93,000 in debt as of the end of 2020? This includes an array of debt types, like credit cards, personal loans, vehicle loans, mortgages, educational expenses and more. Living with extreme debt has become normal for many people — but that does not make it any less stressful, frustrating or expensive to be continually dealing with high debt levels.
Are you an American currently struggling with thousands of dollars in debt and seeking debt solutions? There are a handful of avenues worth exploring to figure out which one best suits your situation — here are six ways to get out of debt.
1. Minimum payments
Technically making the minimum payment will spare your accounts for falling delinquent or your credit report showing late payments. But this is the most expensive and longest path toward paying off what you owe because it maximizes the interest charges you will pay along the way.
NerdWallet outlines the downside of minimum payments with this example: Paying off $5,000 at a 16 percent interest rate making only minimum payments of $100 will take nearly seven years and cost almost $3,300 in interest. Funneling an additional $50 per month toward the same debt will decrease the timeline by almost three years and cut the amount of interest paid basically in half.
2. Strategic repayments
If you are planning to repay your debts on your own, using a repayment strategy can help you avoid that minimum payment trap. This approach involves squeezing every cent possible from your budget, then channeling this money toward prioritizing one account…

Basketball ranks first among the highest-paying sports in the world. The NBA, considered the pinnacle of professional basketball, pays its players around $8 million per year on average. Besides the big bucks, playing professional basketball also opens up another world of opportunities, including serving as a coach, mentor and finding a niche in broadcasting.
Unfortunately, the odds of making it into professional basketball are significantly low compared to other types of sports like baseball. Although this does not make it unachievable, it means that you need to work extremely hard to impress coaches, scouts and recruiters.
Here is what you need to become a pro-NBA basketball player today:
Develop Elite-Level Explosiveness
Explosiveness is an athlete’s ability to move from zero to maximum speed within a short time. On the court, explosive strength is a fundamental attribute that separates good hoopers from the pros.
Why is explosiveness crucial in basketball? The thing with explosiveness is that it is manifested in most basic movements of the game, from jumping to cutting and sliding. Whether you are trying to create space against aggressive defenders, close distance or beat an opposing player off the dribble, explosiveness will give you a tremendous advantage over other players.
Multiple studies are suggesting that explosiveness is linked to muscular architecture and fiber composition. However, despite its genetic coefficient, explosive power can also be optimally developed and improved. As a trait mainly influenced…
