Poptropica is a fun website for kids that was launched in September 2011 by the family education Network. Poptropica is aimed at children from age 6 to 15 and exists in an educational format where children play games, tour and review with each other only at a safe level. Though the game's format remains the same, there is a new game (called an island) that changes every so often. Players are given advanced observation when an island will end and a new one is created.
Before 2010, membership fees did not exist. Memberships begin at .95 Us per month for one month; .95 Us for six months; and .95 Us for an annual membership. Prices vary according to what country a player is from - naturally click on the corresponding country and the price for that country will automatically be displayed. Paid members get free access to items in the Poptropica store (but do not own them). They also get early access to new islands. There is a free membership for children; however, their movement within the virtual world is limited. Players can also gain access to special costumes for their avatar and gain exclusive abilities by purchasing Poptropica credits. These toll can also be obtained by completing online games. Poptropica requires a broadband internet connection, at least 512Mb of Ram and the facility of Adobe Flash Player. The game is played straight through Poptropica's website.

The main focus of Poptropica is the avatar's travels straight through the islands that are released throughout the year. These are mini-adventures which effect a plot that regularly involves players solving puzzles, riddles or clues from past historical events that are educational in some manner. Some of the plots may be too complex for younger players, but since there have been a myriad of islands created, there is no shortage of article from which to choose from. In July 2011, Poptropica made all older islands available to players to play again. There are now over 20 islands to choose from.
What's Good
Poptropica is an educational website that will request for retrial generally to children from age 7 to 15. The wide range of request for retrial is generally due to two factors: the absence of graphic violence and non-safe chat; and the educational component and above-average plots of each island. Creating an educational Mmorpg that is a success is a challenge because it must be able to hold the attentiveness of older players who are more than used to adult-themed games. For Poptropica to be a success, the educational component must use humor, light-heartedness and a sophisticated but understandable plot. Poptropica has succeeded in these key areas.
What's Bad
Acquiring merchandise for their avatars and toys face the game may be an issue, but the positives far outweigh this minor negative.
Online Safety
The part of all virtual worlds that get negative marks is online chat. The owners of Poptropica have wisely decided not to go down this path. The only chat available is safe, pre-scripted chat. No personal data about children is ever collected and since there is no chat, it is never shared. A parent is in control when paying and renewing a membership. The safety policy is prominently displayed and written plainly.

During the Great Depression, women made up 25% of the work force, but their jobs were more unstable, temporary or seasonal then men, and the unemployment rate was much greater. There was also a decided bias and cultural view that "women didn't work" and in fact many who were employed full time often called themselves "homemakers." Neither men in the workforce, the unions, nor any field of government were ready to accept the reality of working women, and this bias caused females intense hardship during the Great Depression.
The 1930's was particularly hard on single, divorced or widowed women, but it was harder still on women who weren't White. Women of color had to overcome both sexual and racial stereotyping. Black women in the North suffered an fantastic 42.9% unemployment, while 23.2%. Of White women were without work agreeing to the 1937 census. In the South, both Black and White women were equally unemployed at 26%. In contrast, the unemployment rate for Black and White men in the North (38.9%/18.1%) and South (18%/16% respectively) were also lower than female counterparts.
About The Civil War For Kids
The financial situation in Harlem was bleak even before the Great Depression. But afterward, the emerging Black working class in the North was decimated by wholesale layoffs of Black market workers. To be Black and a woman alone, made retention a job or seeing someone else one nearly impossible. The racial work hierarchy replaced Black women in waitressing or domestic work, with White women, now desperate for work, and willing to take steep wage cuts.

Survival Entrepreneurs At the start of the Depression, while one study found that homeless women were most likely premise and service workers, domestics, garment workers, waitresses and beauticians; someone else recommend that the charm commerce was a major source of revenue for Black women. These women, later known as "survivalist entrepreneurs," became self-employed in response to a desperate need to find an independent means of livelihood."
Replaced by White women in more primary domestic work as cooks, maids, nurses, and laundresses, even skilled and educated Black women were so hopeless, ''that they beyond doubt offered their services at the so-called 'slave markets'-street corners where Negro women congregated to await White housewives who came daily to take their pick and bid wages down'' (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:246). Moreover, the home domestic service was very difficult, if not impossible, to coordinate with house responsibilities, as the domestic slave was commonly on call ''around the clock'' and was field to the ''arbitrary power of individual employers.''
Inn Keepers and Hairdressers Two occupations were sought out by Black women, in order to address both the need for revenue (or barter items) and their domestic responsibilities in northern cities during the Great Depression: (1) boarding house and lodging house keeping; and (2) hairdressing and charm culture.
During the "Great Migration" of 1915-1930, thousands of Blacks from the South, mostly young, single men, streamed into Northern cities, seeing for places to stay temporarily while they searched for housing and jobs. Housing these migrants created opportunities for Black working-class women,-now unemployed-to pay their rent.
According to one estimate, ''at least one-third'' of Black families in the urban North had lodgers or boarders during the Great Migration (Thomas, 1992:93, citing Henri, 1976). The need was so great, multiple boarders were housed, prominent one inspect of northern Black families to article that ''seventy-five percent of the Negro homes have so many lodgers that they are beyond doubt hotels.''
Women were commonly at the town of these webs of house and community networks within the Black community:
"They ''undertook the greatest part of the burden'' of helping the newcomers find interim housing. Women played ''connective and leadership roles'' in northern Black communities, not only because it was considered primary "woman's work," but also because taking in boarders and lodgers helped Black women combine housework with an informal, income-producing performance (Grossman, 1989:133). In addition, boarding and lodging house retention was often combined with other types of self-employment. Some of the Black women who kept boarders and lodgers also earned money by development synthetic flowers and lamp shades at home." (Boyd, 2000)
In increasing from 1890 to 1940, ''barbers and hairdressers'' were the largest segments of the Black enterprise population, together comprising about one third of this people in 1940 (Boyd, 2000 citing Oak, 1949:48).
"Blacks tended to gravitate into these occupations because "White barbers, hairdressers, and beauticians were unwilling or unable to style the hair of Blacks or to supply the hair preparations and cosmetics used by them. Thus, Black barbers, hairdressers, and beauticians had a ''protected buyer market'' based on Whites' desires for public distance from Blacks and on the special demands of Black consumers. Accordingly, these Black entrepreneurs were sheltered from exterior competitors and could monopolize the trades of charm culture and hairdressing within their own communities.
Black women who were seeking jobs believed that one's appearance was a crucial factor in seeing employment. Black self-help organizations in northern cities, such as the Urban League and the National Council of Negro Women, stressed the point of good grooming to the newly arrived Black women from the South, advising them to have neat hair and clean nails when searching for work. Above all, the women were told avoid wearing ''head rags'' and ''dust caps'' in public (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:247, 301; Grossman, 1989:150-151).
These warnings were particularly relevant to those who were seeing for secretarial or white-collar jobs, for Black women needed level hair and light skin to have any chance of obtaining such positions. Despite the hard times, charm parlors and barber shops were the most numerous and viable Black-owned enterprises in Black communities (e.g., Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:450-451).
Black women entrepreneurs in the urban North also opened shop and restaurants, with modest savings ''as a means of securing a living'' (Boyd, 2000 citing Frazier, 1949:405). Called ''depression businesses,'' these marginal enterprises were often classified as proprietorships, even though they tended to control out of ''houses, basements, and old buildings'' (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:454).
"Food shop and eating and drinking places were the most base of these businesses, because, if they failed, their owners could still live off their stocks."
"Protestant Whites Only" These businesses were a necessity for Black women, as the preference for hiring Whites climbed steeply during the Depression. In the Philadelphia public Employment Office in 1932 & 1933, 68% of job orders for women specified "Whites Only." In New York City, Black women were forced to go to cut off unemployment offices in Harlem to seek work. Black churches and church-related institutions, a primary source of help to the Black community, were overwhelmed by the demand, during the 1930's. Municipal shelters, required to "accept everyone," still reported that Catholics and African American women were "particularly hard to place."
No one knows the numbers of Black women left homeless in the early thirty's, but it was no doubt substantial, and indiscernible to the mostly white investigators. Instead, the media chose to focus on, and publicize the plight of White, homeless, middle-class "white collar" workers, as, by 1931 and 1932, unemployment spread to this middle-class. White-collar and college-educated women, commonly accustomed "to quarterly employment and garage domicile," became the "New Poor." We don't know the homeless rates for these women, beyond an educated guess, but of all the homeless in urban centers, 10% were recommend to be women. We do know, however, that the examine for "female beds" in shelters climbed from a bit over 3,000 in 1920 to 56,808 by 1932 in one city and in another, from 1929 -1930, examine rose 270%.
"Having an Address is a Luxury Now..." Even these beds, however, were the last stop on the path towards homelessness and were designed for "habitually destitute" women, and avoided at all cost by those who were homeless for the first time. Some whole ended up in shelters, but even more were not registered with any agency. Resources were few. crisis home relief was restricted to families with dependent children until 1934. "Having an address is a luxury just now" an unemployed college woman told a public employee in 1932.
These newly destitute urban women were the shocked and dazed who drifted from one unemployment office to the next, resting in Grand Central or Pennsylvania station, and who rode the subway all night (the "five cent room"), or slept in the park, and who ate in penny kitchens. Slow to seek assistance, and fearful and ashamed to ask for charity, these women were often on the verge of starvation before they sought help. They were, agreeing to one report, often the "saddest and most difficult to help." These women "starved slowly in furnished rooms. They sold their furniture, their clothes, and then their bodies."
The Emancipated Woman and Gender Myths If cultural myths were that women "didn't work," then those that did were invisible. Their political voice was mute. Gender role demanded that women remain "someone's poor relation," who returned back to the rural homestead during times of trouble, to help out around the home, and were given shelter. These idyllic nurturing, pre-industrial mythical house homes were large sufficient to accommodate everyone. The new reality was much bleaker. Urban apartments, no bigger than two or three rooms, required "maiden aunts" or "single cousins" to "shift for themselves." What remained of the house was often a strained, overburdened, over-crowded household that often contained severe domestic troubles of its own.
In addition, few, other than African Americans, were with the rural roots to return to. And this assumed that a woman once emancipated and tasting past success would remain "malleable." The female role was an out-of-date myth, but was nonetheless a potent one. The "new woman" of the roaring twenties was now left without a public face during the Great Depression. Without a home--the quintessential element of womanhood--she was, paradoxically, ignored and invisible.
"...Neighborliness has been Stretched Beyond Human Endurance." In reality, more than half of these employed women had never married, while others were divorced, deserted, separated or claimed to be widowed. We don't know how many were lesbian women. Some had dependent parents and siblings who relied on them for support. Fewer had children who were living with extended family. Women's wages were historically low for most female professions, and allowed slight capacity for ample "emergency" savings, but most of these women were financially independent. In Milwaukee, for example, 60% of those seeking help had been self-supporting in 1929. In New York, this figure was 85%. Their ready work was often the most volatile and at risk. Some had been unemployed for months, while others for a year or more. With savings and assurance gone, they had tapped out their informal public networks. One public worker, in late 1931, testified to a Senate committee that "neighborliness has been stretched not only beyond its capacity but beyond human endurance."
Older women were often discriminated against because of their age, and their long history of living exterior of primary house systems. When work was available, it often specified, as did one job in Philadelphia, a examine for "white stenographers and clerks, under (age) 25."
The indiscernible Woman The Great Depression's follow on women, then, as it is now, was indiscernible to the eye. The tangible evidence of breadlines, Hoovervilles, and men selling apples on road corners, did not contain images of urban women. Unemployment, hunger and homelessness was considered a "man's problem" and the distress and despair was measured in that way. In photographic images, and news reports, destitute urban women were overlooked or not apparent. It was considered unseemly to be a homeless woman, and they were often incommunicable from public view, ushered in through back door entrances, and fed in private.
Partly, the question lay in expectations. While homelessness in men had swelled periodically during periods of economic crisis, since the depression of the 1890's onward, large numbers of homeless women "on their own" were a new phenomenon. public officials were unprepared: Without children, they were, early on, excluded from crisis shelters. One building with a capacity of 155 beds and six cribs, lodged over 56,000 "beds" during the third year of the depression. Still, these figures do not take catalogue the whole of women turned away, because they weren't White or Protestant.
As the Great Depression wore on, wanting only a way to make money, these women were excluded from "New Deal" work programs set up to help the unemployed. Men were seen as "breadwinners," retention greater claim to economic resources. While outreach and charitable agencies ultimately did emerge, they were often inadequate to meet the demand.
Whereas black women had single hard times participating in the mainstream economy during the Great Depression, they did have some chance to find alternative employment within their own communities, because of unique migration patterns that had occurred during that period. White women, in contrast, had a keyhole opportunity, if they were young and of considerable skills, although their skin color alone offered them greater access to anyone primary employment was still available.
The rejection of primary female roles, and the desire for emancipation, however, put these women at profound risk once the economy collapsed. In any case, single women, with both black and white skin, fared worse and were indiscernible sufferers.
As we enter the Second Great Depression, who will be the new "invisible homeless" and will women, as a group, fare best this time?

Unfortunately it is not easy to treat the warts in the mouth. Appearance of warts in the mouth is the most inconvenient because unlike other places we can't apply topical medicines inside the mouth or put duct tapes, etc. There are many treatments available for removing warts but only a few can be applied in the case of oral warts. Surgical removal, cryotherapy, intralesional injections of interferon alpha, etc are some means of treating oral warts. All the treatments should be performed by a doctor and should in no way be tried at home. The tools of the doctor are sterilized and therefore they don't make way for supplementary infection. But these treatments are just temporary. Warts reappear from time to time depending on the immune principles of the someone because the virus cannot be removed from the body.
It is therefore very leading that we take care and safe ourselves and others from this virus. To prevent oral warts one must avoid oral sex, use mouth washes, avoid changing shoes or socks, don't walk barefoot, don't share cups and spoon with infected people, etc.

And it certainly paid off, as the 77th minute winner was classic Henry, right from the way he collected a pass on the left-hand side of the area with one of his first touches of the game before caressing it with his right foot across the goal and into the far corner. It's been seen many times before in north London and it was no real surprise to see it happen again, once Alex Song had rolled the ball into space for Henry. Henry's triumphant return will certainly take the headlines and it saved the night for Wenger too, as up until that moment the game had offered little as a spectacle and Leeds could consider themselves unfortunate not to have earned a replay at Elland Road, just as they did a year ago at the same stage of the competition.
