History


Babayevsky District

History

Historically the area was sparsely populated by Finnic peoples, of whom the Vepsians, a few still living in the district, are the descendants. Although this area formally became a part of the Novgorod Republic and subsequently of the Principality of Beloozero, none of the villages located in the area were mentioned in any documents until the end of the 14th century.Dmitry Donskoy's testament.

In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, a separate Novgorod Governorate was split off. The current area of the district was split between Belozersky Uyezd (north of the Kolp) and Ustyuzhensky Uyezd (south of the Kolp). In 1776, the area was transferred to Novgorod Viceroyalty. In 1796, the viceroyalty was abolished, and both uyezds were transferred to Novgorod Governorate. Babayevo, then a village, developed as a settlement around an iron production plant in the 19th century. Important historic route - St.Petersburg-Tikhvin-Belozersk tract - runs via this district and crosses the Suda River at Borisovo-Sudskoye. Borisovo-Sudskoye become important trading and fair location in the 19th century. Khvalevskoye Manor is located here, a country seat of Russian noble family Kachalov.

After Bolshevik revolution, in June 1918 five uyezds of Novgorod Governorate, including Belozersky and Ustyuzhensky Uyezds, were split off to form Cherepovets Governorate, with the administrative center in Cherepovets. In 1925, Babayevo was granted town status. On August 1, 1927, Cherepovets Governorate was abolished, and its area became Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, the uyezds were abolished and Babayevsky District was established. On September 23, 1937, Babayevsky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast.

Birchy Bay

For the town previously known as Birchy Bay North, see Baytona.

Birchy Bay is a small community found in Notre Dame Bay in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

History

The name Birchy Bay is derived from the many birch trees which were found on its shores many years ago. Birchy Bay was first home to the native people of the Island which would have used the river which flows through the community as a source of fresh water and also to procure salmon and trout.

Tradition shows that there was a European fisherman shot at but not killed by a Beothuk man who used a decoy to lure the man within shot. The local lookout as known today was also recorded to have been used by the Beothuk and a large pine tree which grew at its summit was relieved of all its bark from the natives climbing to watch over the surrounding land.

The first recorded family to come and stay in Birchy Bay was Andrew Canning Sr. a man with unknown origins but came from Barr'd Islands to salmon fish. The family lived on the tilt and latter returned to Fogo Island when his sons died he returned to Barr'd Island. The grandson of Andrew Sr., John Canning returned to Birchy Bay with his wife in 1886 along came his adoptive sister Amelia Diamond Mews and James Mews. They began to farm in the community after the agriculture act of 1886. Soon after families such as the Quinlans, Osmond's and Popes came to settle in Birchy Bay. Birchy bays chief income was the logging industry in the early 1900s the French family of Summerford opened a steam-powered sawmill procuring lumber from the country and driving it down the streams and brooks. Also the lobster fishery along with trapping was another means of income in the early days.

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Birchy Bay had a population of 511 living in 226 of its 267 total private dwellings, a change of -7.1% from its 2016 population of 550.49.33 km2 (19.05 sq mi), it had a population density of 10.4/km2 (26.8/sq mi) in 2021.

Brielse Meer

The Brielse Meer ("Lake Den Briel") is a long, narrow lake between the Dutch estuary islands of Voorne and Rozenburg in the province of South Holland.

The lake takes its name from Den Briel, a town on its shore. It was formerly a branch of the Meuse known as Brielse Maas (Den Briel Meuse), which ran from the Botlek strait near Rotterdam into the North Sea. The first stretch, between Botlek and the former confluence with the Het Scheur branch, was alternatively known as (the last stretch of) Nieuwe Maas.

When the Brielse Maas silted up in the late nineteenth century, the Nieuwe Waterweg ship canal was constructed (1872) and Het Scheur was separated from the Brielse Maas by a dam. As a precursor to the Delta Works sea barrier constructions, the Brielse Maas was closed off at both ends in 1950, becoming the Brielse Meer.

In his review for AllMusic, jazz critic Scott Yanow wrote: "The material is strictly pop fluff of the era and the great guitarist has little opportunity to do much other than state the melody in his trademark octaves. This record was perfect for AM radio of the period."The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote that, despite starting with a recent pop hit, the album allowed some glimpses of Montgomery’s jazz playing.

Albrecht Tischbein

Johann Heinrich Albrecht Tischbein (15 November 1803, Sternberg - 22 March 1881, Rostock) was a German engineer and shipbuilder; one of the designers of the first German iron screw steamers.

Biography

His father was the painter and art teacher, August Albrecht Christian Tischbein. His youth was spent in the port of Rostock, where he developed his interest in ships. With help from his cousin, the naval officer and engineer Gerhard Moritz Roentgen, he was able to train as an engineer in Seraing with John Cockerill.Rotterdam as a mechanical engineer, building steamships. In 1837, he constructed a wooden steamship for the Elb-Dampfschiff-Fahrts-CompagnieMagdeburg. From 1838 to 1849, he was the company's Technical Director.

1850 saw the creation of the "Rostocker Dampfschiff-Fahrt-Gesellschaft", with the goal of creating two iron steamships to provide regular service between Rostock and Saint Petersburg. After studying the situation there, Tischbein returned to Rostock and, together with the master shipbuilder Wilhelm Zeltz (1814-1864), established a shipyard and machine works.hp and could reach a speed of 9.25 knots. After only four years of service on the route, it was sold for financial reasons. Their second iron ship, the "Grand Duke Constantine", was completed in 1852.

George Ainslie (Virginia politician)

George Ainslie (October 10, 1868 – July 18, 1931) was the mayor of Richmond, Virginia, from 1912 until 1924. He was of English ancestry, all of which had been in Virginia since the 17th century.

Education

Ainslie received a B.S. at Virginia Military Institute in 1890 and an L.L.B. at the University of Virginia in 1893.

Mayor of Richmond

During Ainslie's administration, annexation nearly doubled Richmond's size. As a result of this expansion, Ainslie pursued an ambitious program of public improvements, including completion of a new waterworks and creation of a fully motorized fire department. He also advocated amendments to the Richmond city charter that in 1919 strengthened the power of the mayor's office. The Richmond newspapers often featured photographs of Ainslie greeting visiting dignitaries, including Marshal Ferdinand Foch (1921) and former British prime minister David Lloyd George (1923).

Ainslie lost the April 1924 primary to his ultimate successor, John Fulmer Bright, after Bright accused Ainslie of being a big spender who had placed the city in debt by borrowing money for public improvements.

After leaving office, Ainslie worked as an insurance agent. He was buried in Hollywood Cemetery.

Eclectic paganism

Eclectic paganism, also occasionally termed universalist or non-denominational paganism,modern paganism where practitioners blend paganism with aspects of other religions or philosophies, including the blending of separate pagan traditions.Handbook of New Age, Melissa Harrington states that "Eclectic Pagans do not follow any particular Paganism, but follow a Pagan religious path, that includes the overall Pagan ethos of reverence for the ancient Gods, participation in a magical world view, stewardship and caring for the Earth, and 'nature religion.'"North America and the British Isles.

Eclectic paganism contrasts with reconstructionist paganism: whereas reconstructionists strive for authenticity to historical religious traditions of specific groups or time periods, the eclectic approach borrows from several different cultures, philosophies, and time periods.

Some see benefits and drawbacks to the eclectic pagan label. It is broad and allows for various practices and beliefs and without concrete rules, practitioners can explore various religions, philosophies, practices, and cultures while remaining within the bounds of the label. Some also create their own beliefs, philosophies, and rules.

Use of social media

The use of social media within eclectic paganism is very common. Within cultures where pagan or occult beliefs and practices are a minority, social media can provide a safe haven for learning and discussion; and social media allows for the creation of pagan communities. With the advent of social media, information can be reached by nearly anyone, rather than being passed down through oral traditions and within families or covens, as was traditionally common.

The use of social media and the internet by eclectic pagans is not an isolated phenomena, and reflects wider trends of religious expression and communities online.

Arnold Lava Tube System

The Arnold Lava Tube System (or Arnold system) is series of lava tubes in Deschutes County, Oregon, in the United States. It is located several miles southeast of the city of Bend. The system starts in the Deschutes National Forest on the northern flank of Newberry Volcano, heads northeast onto BLM land before finally terminating on private property near Horse Ridge. The system acted as a conduit for the lavas from Lava Top Butte that later fed the Badlands rootless shield.Horse Lava Tube System.

History

The system got its name from Ronald Greeley of NASA who named it during his study of lava tubes for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.Americans as early as 1889 and referred to as the Crook County Ice Caves.NASA Ames Research Center.

Though Americans lay claim to the discovery of the caves, they had been known long before to Native Americans and as early as 1370 AD. This was determined from carbon dating nearby Charcoal Cave no. 1.

Conservation

The lava tubes of the Arnold system have long been used by locals for varying purposes including recreational usage. Unfortunately, a major sector of the public remains uneducated and the caves repeatedly suffer from vandalism and human-induced degradation. The Central Oregon Conservation Task Force (COCTF), under the guidance of Larry King and Garry Petrie, documented the abuse of the caves.Rock climbing in and around the caves marred the natural beauty with that of climbing bolts and chalk residue.Native American rock art being ignored by rock climbers were commonplace.

In the times past, other kinds of destructive behaviors affected the cave system. Bats were seen as target practice by those who entered the caves with guns. Sometimes bats were killed and their bodies left behind.Townsend's big-eared bat.

In addition to the endangerment of the native bat species,mineral and gem collector notes the removal of rare lava stalagmites from inside Wind Cave in a chamber believed to have been previously unexplored.ancient artifacts from caves in the area.

Today, many people still enjoy the lava tubes and respect their beauty and the creatures that make it their home. Yet, reports still persist of vandalism to the caves. Cave gates have been broken and made useless by those persisting to enter caves during seasonal bat closures.


Arnold Lava Tube System

Conservation and restoration efforts are ongoing. The United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, in collaboration with the Oregon High Desert Grotto, maintain the cave system.National Speleological Society which shares the values of preserving these unique resources.

Bat closures

The caves of the Arnold system are closed during the hibernation period of the bats. The closure for hibernation is from November 1 to April 15.

Bat maternity colonies also exist in a few of the caves, though to what extent they still flourish is not determined. Closures for those caves with maternity colonies is between April 16 and September 30.

Caves

There are 20 caves in the Arnold system. Out of those 20, only 8 are longer than two to three hundred feet.

Lava tube caves

The major caves of the Arnold system are in this category. Wind Cave is the longest and most difficult to traverse at 3,839 feet in slope length.

Caves include:

  * Hidden Forest
  * HFBD
  * Charcoal Cave no. 1
  * Neighboring Cave

Bernard V of Melgueil

Bernard V (died 1172), son of Raymond Pilet d’Alès and his wife Mabel, of an unknown family. Count of Meigueil, by right of his wife (jure uxoris). Seigneur of Alès (as Bernard II d’Alès). Bernard became Count of Meigueil upon his marriage to Beatrix de Melgueil, in 1146. One source claims Bernard was in the First Crusade, but there is no evidence that this was the case.

Beatrix (1130-1190), also known as Beatrice, was the only child of Bernard IV, Count of Melgueil (d. 1132), and Guillemette de Montpellier (daughter of William V, Lord of Montpellier). Bernard IV inherited the countship from his father Raymond II, representing a lineage of Counts of Melgueil dating to 930. Beatrix became Countess of Melgueil in 1130 upon her father’s death. Because of her young age, William VI of Montpellier, the son of William V, was named regent of the county and remained so until Beatrix married her first husband Berengar Raymond, Count of Provence. Upon his death in 1144, Beatrix ruled the county.

Beatrix then married Bernard II d’Alès, who became Bernard V, Count of Meigueil. Beatrix and Bernard had two children:

  * Bertrand Pilet (d. 1191 or after)
  * Ermessende of Pilet (d. 1176).

This is where things become complicated in the ruling of the County of Meigueil. Bertrand was disinherited by his mother and unsuccessfully fought the arrangements made with the Counts of Toulouse by his sister. He swore homage to King Alfonso II of Aragon to help contest these arrangements to no avail.

Bertrand married a woman named Bonafosse (d. 1205) of an unknown family and had one child Raymond (d. 1129). Raymond swore allegiance to his brother-in-law Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, undoubtedly to help regain his inheritance. He married Sibylle d’Anduze, daughter of Bernard VII, Seigneur d’Anduze.


Bernard V of Melgueil

Ermenssende of Pilet married first Pierre Bermond IV, Seigneur of Sauve and Sommières. Her second marriage was to Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, son of Raymond V of Toulouse and Constance of France, daughter of Louis VI of France. The counts of Toulouse ruled Melgueil until 1211 when Pope Innocent III enfeoffed it to Guillaume d'Autignac, Bishop of Maguelone.

Battle of Quinton's Bridge

The Battle of Quinton's Bridge was a minor battle of the American Revolutionary War fought on March 18, 1778, during the British occupation of Philadelphia. New Jersey militia companies defending a bridge across Alloway Creek in Salem County, New Jersey, were lured into a trap by British Lieutenant Colonel Charles Mawhood and suffered significant casualties.

Background

Main article: Philadelphia campaign

In late 1777, British forces under the command of General William Howe occupied Philadelphia, the seat of the Second Continental Congress, and viewed by Howe as the capital of the rebellious Thirteen Colonies.Continental Army and Patriot militia companies as part of a campaign by George Washington against British supply lines.forage for their own side and to interfere with the foraging operations of the other side.

On February 19, with the Continental Army in desperate need of provisions, Brigadier General Anthony Wayne led a force across the Delaware River south of Philadelphia on a foraging expedition through southern New Jersey. General Howe responded by sending a force of about 4,000 men to harass Wayne. However, Wayne moved rapidly northward, gathering provisions, forcing residents to move supplies he could not take away from easy British reach, and occasionally skirmishing with the chasing British.Charles Mawhood to forage and also to try to force Wayne into battle. On March 17, Mawhood led a mixed force of 1,200 men, consisting of British regulars and Loyalist companies of New Jersey Volunteers and John Graves Simcoe's Queen's Rangers, across the Delaware River into Salem County, New Jersey.Burlington, preparing to return to Valley Forge.

Alloway Creek in Salem County formed a natural line of defense, and the local militia, after learning of the British movement, established strong defensive positions at the two crossings nearest the Delaware, Quinton's Bridge and Hancock's Bridge, to prevent the British from crossing. Mawhood led his force to Salem, where they were met by some local Loyalists who told them that Colonel Benjamin Holme, along with 300 militia, was at Quinton's Bridge, only three miles (4.8 km) to the southeast. Holme had established his position on the north side of the bridge, and had taken up the bridge's planking to prevent its easy use.

Battle


Battle of Quinton's Bridge

Battle

Before dawn on March 18, Mawhood moved several detachments of men into position on the side of the creek opposite the American forces. He then displayed a portion of his force moving away from the bridge, as if to retreat. As soon as the Americans saw this movement, Captain William Smith replaced the planks and gave chase with 200 of the 300 men guarding the bridge. This force followed the British further along the road, eventually making contact with another group of soldiers that had been posted behind a rail fence. The remainder of the British force was nearby, posted in a house by the fence.

When Smith and his men were attacked, the soldiers posted in the house slipped out and ran to the Americans' rear, cutting off any retreat to the bridge. They then forced Smith's force to attempt another crossing of the creek. At this point the main body of British soldiers arrived at the bridge and attempted to cross over to the American position. They were stopped by Colonel Elijah Hand and his militia, who arrived with two guns in time to stop a complete annihilation of the American force. In the event, the Americans lost between 30 and 40 men in the engagement, most to drowning.

Aftermath

Although the force at Quinton's Bridge had taken significant casualties, Colonel Hand and his men stayed to reinforce the position. Mawhood attempted to force the militia to retire the next day, but they were well-positioned and could not be dislodged. Mawhood then detached Major Simcoe and his rangers to attack the position at Hancock's Bridge. Simcoe and his men returned to the Delaware, and maneuvered downstream to reach the south side of the creek. From there they marched, according to Simcoe's account through difficult terrain, to the southern end of Hancock's Bridge. There they completely surprised 20 to 30 men stationed in the house of local judge William Hancock, putting them all to the bayonet. Although they had not intended to kill Hancock, Simcoe's intelligence had reported that Hancock had abandoned the house when it was occupied by the militia; in fact he had returned home the evening before, and was among those slain.


Battle of Quinton's Bridge

Mawhood then sent a letter to Colonel Hand, warning him that if the militia did not put down their arms, he would "attack the militia wearing arms, burn their houses, and reduce them, their unfortunate wives, and their children to beggary and distress."Attila, and not of a gentleman, brave, generous, and polished."

Wayne's expedition through southern New Jersey heightened tensions between General Washington and New Jersey officials, since it brought on a wave of British violence, orchestrated by Colonel Mawhood. New Jersey had largely been left to its own defenses during the winter, and the British response to Wayne's movements led New Jersey officials to demand a Continental Army presence. One week after Wayne's departure, Washington sent a small detachment of Continentals into southern New Jersey, but it was wholly ineffective at preventing the crumbling of southern New Jersey militia organizations.

Battle of Quechereguas (1814)

The battle of Quechereguas occurred on 8 April 1814, during the War of Chilean Independence.

Background

The Royalists had taken the key Patriot town of Talca in March, 1814, and an army, under the command of Gabino Gaínza, now threatened to advance on the Patriot capital of Santiago itself. Bernardo O' Higgins, the famous Patriot leader, attempted to intervene to prevent this.

The battle

Gabino Gaínza had crossed over the Maule river with his forces, advancing northwards. O' Higgins was unable to pursue him during the day, because of the size of the Royalist force. During the night, however, O' Higgins secretly made the crossing, marched rapidly to the north and placed himself at the site of Quechereguas, in between the Royalist force and the road to Santiago. Gabino Gaínza responded by attacking the next day; O' Higgins' men firmly repulsed the attack, forcing the Royalists to fall back on Talca once more.

Brockhill Newburgh

Colonel Brockhill Newburgh (c. 1659 – 11 January 1741) was an Irish politician.

Ballyhaise House, Co. Cavan

He was the second son of Thomas Newburgh and his wife Mary, the daughter of Brockhill Taylor, M.P, of Ballyhaise, who had represented Cavan Borough in the Irish House of Commons. He inherited the estate of Ballyhaise in 1697High Sheriff of Cavan for 1704.

From 1715 until 1727, Newburgh sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for County Cavan. He was chairman of the Linen Board. He built Ballyhaise House, and did much to improve the village of Ballyhaise, erecting the first stone bridge there.

Brockhurst, Staffordshire

Brockhurst is a hamlet in Staffordshire, England, 1 mile sorth-west of Blymhill. It is part of Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard civil parish within South Staffordshire district.

Today the hamlet consists of Brockhurst farm, a red brick 18th farmhouse, and two blocks of semi-detached houses built in 1954. The buildings rest on the site of a much earlier settlement, as evidenced by medieval earthworks. These include a square moat to the south-eastern side of the farmhouse, with raised mound within, and the line of a second moat seventy-five yards to the south-west.

Raven speculates on the origin of the name 'Brockhurst':

'Broc' in a place name usually means either stream or badger. 'Hurst' can mean either a wood or a hill, or a wooded hill or even a sandbank in a river. As there are no streams, hills or sandbanks here it might be fair to interpret the name 'Brockhurst' as meaning 'the wood (or clearing in the wood) which has a badger sett'.


Avia 60-MP

The Avia 60-MP was a French motor glider with a wing based on that of the Avia 32-E, an advanced training glider. It was intended as both an advanced trainer and as an atmospheric research aircraft.

Design and development

In 1933 Avia introduced two designs based on their earlier training gliders but fitted with low powered engines, placing them amongst the first motor gliders. Both were based on earlier Avia true gliders; the Avia 60-MP (MP for moteur planeur or motor glider) was the more advanced of the two and was a development of the Avia 32-E. It was intended as a suitable aircraft for pilots wishing to go beyond the B brevet to the C and was also intended to map the vertical thermal structure of the atmosphere, crucial to glider flight but not well known at the time.

The Avia 60-MP had a gull wing with its roots attached to the lower fuselage and with linearly tapered inner sections of increasing chord and strong dihedral. These inner sections extended over about 30% of the span to an elbow where the dihedral was much reduced and the wing plan became convergent straight tapered to rounded tips, carrying long differential ailerons.spars and had plywood covering around the leading edge, with the rest of the wing fabric covered. Each wing was braced with a pair of sloping V-struts between two points on the upper wing surface at the elbow to a long, narrow central streamlined pillar, roughly rectangular in profile.


Avia 60-MP

This pillar also mounted the Avia's 19 kW (25 hp) pusher configuration Poinsard flat twin engine with its cylinder heads exposed for air-cooling. A 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) diameter propeller rotated over the wing behind the rear bracing strut within the inner section of the wing.spruce longerons, with formers to round the cross section, and was ply covered.cockpit was immediately ahead of the central pillar in a forward fuselage with a roughly prolate elliptical section. Aft of the pillar the fuselage was more slender and flatter sided. The horizontal tail was mounted on a small step with a curved leading edge; the straight swept tailplane was little more than a faired hinge for full, tapered, balanced and elliptically tipped elevators. Its fin was also small, with a tall, deep curved rudder that extended to the keel;trailing edges was needed for rudder movement. The fixed parts of the empennage were covered with ply and the control surfaces with fabric.

The Avia 60-HP's first flight was made from Saint-Cyr at the beginning of April 1936 or shortly before.Saint-Germain on 17 May but was seriously damaged on 28 June 1936 after an in-flight engine fire. Its pilot, Nessler, made an emergency landing and the airframe was stored but destroyed early in World War II.

Boone's Chapel

Boone's Chapel, Lee, London

Boone's Chapel is a single-storey building attributed to Sir Christopher Wren and built in 1683. The chapel is very small, measuring just 45 square metres and is constructed of red brickwork with Portland stone details to window architraves, rusticated quoins and a pyramidal roof with an open wood cupola. The chapel is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.

It is located adjacent to the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors almshouses on Lee High Road in Lewisham, London and is one of only two Grade I-listed buildings in the borough of Lewisham (the other is St Paul's, Deptford).

History

Rear of Boone's Chapel

Christopher Boone, a member of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to design the chapel. The Boone family lived in Herefordshire and income from their estate was used to build almshouses for the elderly of Lee and also to educate twelve poor children.

Though Wren may have been commissioned to build both the chapel and almshouses, it appears that Robert Hooke, a friend and colleague and another member of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, actually undertook construction.

Although the almshouses that were built to the left of the chapel along Lee High Road were demolished in 1877,Grade II-listed almhouses dating from 1825 just up from the chapel. Following the end of the second world war, the chapel fell into disuse.

Mausoleum

Grave of Christopher and Mary Boone, Boone's Chapel, London

Both Christopher Boone (1616-1686) and his wife, Mary (c1638-1722) are interred within the chapel.

Restoration

By the late 1990s, the Grade I-listed chapel was suffering from decades of neglect and was placed on English Heritage's London Buildings at Risk register. To combat this, a new charity was set up - The Blackheath Historic Buildings Trust - in 1999.

The charity received Heritage Lottery Funding and support from the London Borough of Lewisham, livery companies and the support of local residents through the Lee Manor and Blackheath Societies. The funding allowed for the chapel to be completely renovated.


Boone's Chapel

Following the raising of over £500,000, Boone's Chapel was renovated in 2008. A small physic garden was also added during the renovation.

The chapel is now used by a firm of architects but is open to the public 30 days a year.

Blue boy trial

The blue boy trial (ブルーボーイ事件, burū bōi jiken) was a trial regarding the legality of sex reassignment surgery in Japan.

In the mid-20th century, the term "blue boy" was slang for a transgender or transvestite person who was assigned male at birth.

In 1965, a doctor performed sex reassignment surgical operations on three trans women. The doctor was prosecuted for violating eugenics laws and was found guilty of violating Clause 28 of the Eugenics Protection Law.

After the trial, sex reassignment surgeries were not performed again until 1998.

California Division of Juvenile Justice

The California Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), previously known as the California Youth Authority (CYA), is a division of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that provides education, training, and treatment services for California's most serious youth offenders. These youths are committed by the juvenile and criminal courts to DJJ's eleven correctional facilities, four conservation camps and two residential drug treatment programs. The DJJ provides services to juvenile offenders, ranging in age from twelve to 25, in facilities and on parole, and works closely with law enforcement, the courts, district attorneys, public defenders, probation offices and other public and private agencies involved with the problems of youth. The DJJ is undergoing reorganization as required by a court agreement and the California State Legislature after widespread criticisms of conditions at its youth prisons. The agency's headquarters are in Sacramento, California.

Mission and Vision

The DJJ's stated mission is:

  * "To provide opportunities for growth and change by identifying and responding to the unique needs of our youth. We do this through effective treatment, education and interventions in order to encourage positive lifestyles, reduce recidivism, strengthen families and protect our communities."

Education

The DJJ is legally required to provide a high school education for every ward who does not already have a diploma. However, students are sometimes kept from class because of safety and security situations or teacher vacancies. Validated gang associates are sometimes kept from classroom or vocational training for institutional safety and security reasons relative to gang tensions or conflict. Academic teachers and vocational instructors are credentialed through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The education area of the institution is referred to as the "Education Corridor" or "Trade Line", reflecting the vocational training focus of the institution. The Trade Line is monitored by security professionals known as "Youth Correctional Officers" (YCO). Students are escorted to the Trade Line from their living areas by "Youth Correctional Counselors" (YCC). The educational system in the DJJ is part of the California Department of Education, and each site is required to maintain accreditation through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
