Deescalating
Akron Leaders Ask For Deescalation
Jayland Walker's Funeral was this week. The pastors and the mayor ask for things to de-escalate so we could talk to each other.
Meanwhile, two police held this guy down on Tuesday see twitter.
and this video of Akron policemen punching someone who was already behind held by two policemen in the face multiple times. see video
It seems de-escalate has different meanings to different people.

MY TRIP TO IRIE KITCHEN
If you're tired of burgers and pizza, check out irie kitchen (Jamaican food). Think chipotle layout, but it's Jamaican food. The place was super clean and had a Jamaican vibe. You zip through the line quickly.
I had the skewed chicken, Plantains, and pineapple coleslaw (so good). This takes three bites if you've never had this type of food as it doesn't taste like anything I've ever eaten. Quite yummy.
All of this is on top of Jamaican rice, and that mean I was not leaving hungry. They are located at 837 W Market St, Akron or you can call ahead and pick it up.

PROGRAM TO HELP PREGNANT AND HOMELESS WOMEN
In an effort to reduce infant mortality in Ohio, a pilot program that provides housing to pregnant women dealing with or at risk of homelessness will soon expand in Columbus and put new roots in Akron. The state will provide $2.25 million from its budget for the expansion, but groups behind the program are asking for $9 million more for further growth.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ohio had the 10th worst infant mortality rate in the nation during 2020, at 6.53 deaths per 1,000 births.
Spearheaded by CelebrateOne, a public-private partnership backed by the city of Columbus, the project had positive results. There were fewer fetal deaths, less Medicaid spending and shorter stays at newborn intensive care units for those who received housing.
But the study sample was not big enough. That's why a second iteration is being put into motion, with the goal of housing 300 women across Columbus, Akron, Dayton and Cincinnati. Currently, the initial $2.25 million will only cover 60 women in Columbus and 30 in Akron with a starting date in the summer
