Does spatial inequality exist in Sydney?

Spatial Inequality in Sydney

Yes, it does. Areas in and around Sydney are beginning to feel the effects of special inequality. As the population grows, the effects are becoming more prevalent, especially infrastructure accessibility to people in poorer areas.

Suburban pockets of poverty can be found on the city's fringes, in certain parts of Sydney's south-west for example, and there are also pockets of poverty in much more central areas. The less-affluent areas are generally higher in unemployment, welfare-dependency, single-parent families, substance abuse and crime, than other Sydney suburbs. These are also often the areas in which overseas migrants and refugees chose to settle, because the real estate is much cheaper and the ethnic and racial composition is generally more diverse.

What is the history of park ave Wasn't it a park and if so when was it converted to a road?

When you currently drive down Park Avenue from Grand Central Terminal you will notice in the middle, a median consisting of little grass parks surrounded in some cases by iron fences, and some with iron circular, grated, or rectangular covers over them all the way up to 97th st. These little parks are the result of the original Park Avenue which was was originally named "Fourth Avenue", and starting in the 1830's carried the tracks of the New York and Harlem railroad at street level with "Fourth Ave/Park Ave" on either side of it. There was already a railroad tunnel built thru Murray Hill between 34th and 40th streets in the early 1850's as a result of when the previous cut there was covered over with grates and grass. Thus, the first of the little grass parks you see today were formed when the original cut there was covered. And as a result in 1860, this section of Fourth Avenue was renamed "Park Avenue" all the way to 42nd street. Today as in the 1850's - 70's, down beneath were first the tracks of the "new York and Harlem Railroad, then the New York Central, and now the Metro North and they run all the way to and across the Harlem River. You see will see as you drive along present day Park Avenue, the grass medians with their covers and grates that begin just after Grand Central, with the present Metro North railroad running beneath them, you will now know that at one time 1830-1875, steam locomotives ran at first at the surface , and then down below in a cut, and then beneath this covered cut which became a tunnel with little grass parks built and planted over the tops of what was first a open beam tunnel and then a covered tunnel with circular and rectangular vents to exhaust the steam from the locomotives out f what you now see covered with steel doors and grates in these little parks. Liek I said, when the original Grand Central Depot was built and opened in 1871, theoriginal surface railroad tracks between 56th st and 96th street were sunk into a "cut", i.e. the railroad tracks were re-layed into the newly dug trench/cut which was lower than the streets of Fourth Ave/Park Avenue which ran on either side of this newly dug railroad cut. However, then as it is today, when you get to 97th street, the tracks emerge from the tunnel below and up on to a stone viaduct that was built in 1871 and is still in use today by Metro North. When this stone viaduct ends at 116th st, it becomes a steel viaduct all the way to the Harlem river bridge. The reason the bridge changes from stone to steel is that before the new Harlem River Bridge was built in the late 1870's, there was also a cut, just as I previously described. But, a new bridge across the river required the tracks to be raised to reach the bridges new height. As a result, first the cut was covered with the previously mentioned stone viaduct starting at 116th street, and then when an even newer and higher bridge was planned in the late 1870's, that portion of the stone viaduct built over the old cut had the steel viaduct built over its chopped down remains. When steam locomotives were banned around 1900 in New York city (Manhattan), the old Grand Central Depot along with its Steam Engines, Water Towers, Round Houses, and coaling towers, and vast train yard were all torn down, and replaced with the current Grand Central Terminal, and electric tracks for Electric powered trains all built in 2 levels in a vast deep hole and canyon that was covered up with the streets of park avenue just outside of present day grand Central Terminal.

How do hotels operate?

This is a very complex question. To begin, hotels are usually divided into several depaertments (mostly depending on what services the hotel offers and the size of the property). All department heads report to the General Manager who oversees all aspects of the operation, reporting directly to owners, franchisors and corporate offices.The departments in the hotel division could include any or all of the following department heads: Executive Housekeeper (in charge of the day-to-day upkeep of the hotel rooms and public areas), Front Office Manager (who oversees the guest services aspects of the operation including reception, concierge, bellmen and valet crew), the Chief Engineer (who oversees maintenance, preventative maintenance, construction and emergency systems), the Director of Sales and Marketing (who oversees the reservations, catering, banquet bookings and marketing), the Food and Beverage Director (who oversees the quality and availability of all food and beverage outlets, banquet and catering operations, room service, bars and kitchens), the Executive Chef (who oversees menus, food ordering, the culinary teams) and the Director of Security (in charge of the regular patrol and inspection of the property, its safety systems, emegency responses, internal and external theft and damage, surveillance and other related matters). Behind the scenes, there are Financial folks, Systems Folks, Retail folks (if there is a gift shop, for example), IT/Systems, Human Resources, Personnel, and more.Generally, a weekly meeting is held with department heads to establish goals and objectives, which the respective department heads are expected to carry out. On a daily basis, the priorities for the hotel departments are to provide the best service to the guests while preparing the rooms for the next round of occupancy. Department heads use occupancy to develop schedules and order supplies. At the end of the day, all guests are settled in their booked accommodations, room rates and incidental (extra) charges are posted, the Night Auditor closes the business day and financials are created. This process occurs every day the hotel has guests.This response is by no means all inclusive. It is recommended that you schedule an appointment with a General Manager at a hotel in your area so you can ask some specific questions. (If they ask, just tell them you are writing an article for your school paper or something.)Hotel/Hospitality is a great career experience and perfect for anyone that considers themself a 'people person'.

Why are the Sydney Roosters named after a rooster?

The Australian Sydney Roosters is a National Rugby League team founded in 1908 in Paddington, Sydney. It's original name was Eastern Suburbs (nickname: Tricolours). In 1967, with Jack Gibson as their coach, they wore a new emblem on their jerseys - the rooster. Underneath were the words "Easts to Win". In 1995 the team name became the Sydney City Roosters, which was shortened in 2000 to Sydney Roosters. The name "Roosters" came from the fact that the team plays hard to win. They are ferocious in their game plan, and known for their fierce rivalries with other teams, especially the Rabbitohs.
