Transitioning from Uki-Gatame to Juji-Gatame.
The message is about the yin and yang balance between two ideas that seem juxtaposed to one another. The first being full commitment and the second being the flexibility to adapt and make a change. However, this balanced idea of "hold on tightly, let go lightly" is the very heart of not only the best martial artists but also the most successful people in life.
In attempting to effectively strike, strangle, or throw our opponent we cannot be "half hearted." We must be fully engaged and determined in meeting the objective. We must make our best effort always. Like Kenny Rogers famously sang, "you have to know when to hold them…and when to fold them." That is to say, when the technique is CLEARLY not working, won't be working, and the attempt to make it work is only expending energy unwisely (and making you less safe), you must LET GO LIGHTLY. This is at the heart of the The Way of Gentle Flowing Power (Jukido).
We must be able to commit fully in one breath but at THE VERY SAME TIME be able to adapt as needed without unnecessarily "holding on tightly" to what isn't working…and thus perhaps losing the momentary opportunity to make a successful adjustment in approach.
This can apply to testing in the dojo, long held ideologies, health, opportunities in life, approaches to business, and personal relationships. Fight for them! Make them work, be fully committed to success….but when success with that approach is no longer possible, don't hold on…LET GO LIGHTLY.
Adapt, flow, maintain balance, stay strong.
Don't Let Bullies Get Away With It!
"You don't fight bullying with bullying." This is what young children were told during an assembly style discussion on bullying at the school my daughters attend. Her school, which I have an overall incredibly high opinion of, is one of the many schools that proudly proclaim to be a "Zero Tolerance" campus as it pertains to bullying. "Well, what if someone is trying to beat you up and hurt you?" The message was the same, "You don't fight bullies by bullying them back." Physical conflict of any kind and for any reason is not tolerated! Zero-Tolerance for ever striking someone, period!
Albeit well intended, this advice and policy is incredibly ill-advised and pernicious to a degree that is hard to understate!
There was a recent Yahoo news story floating around Facebook about a 10 year old boy named Aiden who was bullied but refused to fight back because it was "Not the Jedi Way." To be clear, this boy wasn't being teased or even lightly pushed around. In fact, it was the third straight year of bullying. This boy had been previously violently assaulted by bullies to the point that he required stitches on his face. This was now the second time he required a hospital visit post bullying incident for, once again, getting stitches on his face. This incident started with someone trying to take Aiden's backpack. The mother is now pressing charges according the the story. The graphic included is a picture of Aiden, included in the Yahoo article, after the latest incident.
There is a lot of disturbing detail to this story that can't be overlooked. Of course, there is the minor detail that it is technically incorrect to say that one can't fight back because it isn't the Jedi Way. Star Wars is well, "Wars." There is plenty of fighting back. But frankly, that is coming from a 10 year old boy. The real issue is the messages he has been given by adults, school policies, and societal trends. Consider, just a for another moment that this boy has been bullied for three straight years and two of those incidents were serious enough that the boy needed stitches on his face. Consider that the child never fought back for fear of "getting in trouble." I mean, after all, you "don't fight bullying by bullying back." There is Zero-Tolerance for ever striking someone, period. It gets more disturbing when adults seem to make comments that extol the "virtue" of not fighting back in these clear cut cases. Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker is quoted about Aiden saying he was, " astonished by his wisdom and courage." On my Facebook feed, where I saw this initially, one of the comments in response to the article was, "Good for him." Good for him? Really? This is good for him? This is the wise course of action? To be hospitalized twice in the last three years and be in a situation that sees this young boy bullied for more than a quarter of this entire life? To be applauded for not even making the slightest attempt at self-preservation? Is this approach supposed to incentive bullies to stop? Is this approach supposed to be good for the physical and mental health of the bullied (or even the bully themselves) or the culture of the nation's collective school campuses?
This story, and some of the reactions to this story, hit home with me in large part due to my teaching children self-defense for the past two decades. Unfortunately, this story is not only common but every single year I teach, it becomes increasingly more common. The story of Aiden isn't an isolated situation. Far from it! I've personally experienced an overwhelming increase in the number of students and desperate parents coming to our school of self-defense looking for another way.
To be clear, "another way" isn't code for: encouragement of getting into fist-fights, beating people up at the drop of a hat, or encouraging physical solutions to problems when other clear alternatives are preferable and available. In fact, there many other tactics that can be used which creates a situation where you don't have to physically fight back. However, it does NOT completely eliminate or attempt to villainize the possibility of having to justifiably physically defend yourself if you truly have no other alternative and are facing physical harm. The other way is NOT based on the sickeningly perverse premise that anyone involved in a physical encounter, for any reason, has mandatory punishments imposed on them (zero tolerance). Rather, the other way is based on the premise that you not only have the RIGHT but the RESPONSIBILITY to defend yourself. Physically or not, the policy of Zero Tolerance needs to be replaced with policy of Don't Let Bullies Get Away with It.
"Don't let bullies get away with it" can take many forms. In all, but the most extreme cases, we aren't talking physically striking or fighting someone. But that option (1) can't be totally taken off the table by stating with there are no exceptions, (2) shouldn't be villainized ("you don't beat bullies by bullying them back"), and (3) needs to be clearly understood. We must create a culture that ensures children know that the adults around them find them valuable enough that they find them worth protecting. This is of immense importance. That children are given permission by the adults who love them to keep themselves safe from uncalled for physical attack. Defending yourself from an unjustified physical assault isn't "bullying the bully", any more than a woman defending herself from a sexual assault is somehow "wrong" for doing whatever is necessary to enforce her physical autonomy and safety. Difference of degree, perhaps…But the underlying principle is the same: NO ONE has the right to unjustifiably hurt you and if they try, you are JUSTIFIED in the attempt to protect your physical well-being. It is your well within your ethical right to protect yourself.
Consider the following few examples. Does a nation have a right and RESPONSIBILITY to look out for its well-being? Does a nation EVER have a right to defend itself from unjustified aggression? Does the actions of those brave souls on Flight 93 on September 11, 2001 who fought hijackers from further harming others fall under the category of "bullying the bully?" Would it have been better if those incredible Americans had thought it the so-called "Jedi Way" to sit down, shut up, and just take it? What about you? It is 3:00 a.m. and you hear someone break into your home. You look at your baby monitor and see the intruder with a hand inside your baby's crib. The attacker is in your daughter's bedroom. Is your instinctive response to that scenario to "not bully the bully?" How would you feel if some parent in that scenario, saw it happen, had the means to stop it…but didn't? Further, how would you feel if after the fact someone then said to that parent that they admired them for their "courage and wisdom?" What if that parent justified it by saying that they were "afraid of getting in trouble" with the authorities? Would that be OK or even virtuous? Would you want the police officer in who has a clear shot on the active shooter in your child's school to take the shot? Wouldn't it be his RESPONSIBILITY to take the shot if it is clear and available to him? Isn't that the more Jedi like way? Using force to stop bad actors from furthering their actions isn't somehow evil in principle. Obviously, we would prefer not to in a situation where it is necessary…but that is the point…sometimes there are situations where it is not only a necessity but a responsibility. The scaling and scope of the situation might vary but the principle doesn't.
The devil in the details to be sure. But that is yet another point. The details should be looked into.
Feel good slogans such "Zero Tolerance for Bullying" and well-intended, but poorly thought out, policies are at worst a major contribution to the problem. Even if one is inclined to give the most charitable interpretation possible of these policies: one would state that they are, even if not contributing, at least ineffective at dealing with the issue. Especially ineffective in the critical moment when one is faced with a choice: allow oneself to fight the survival (and ethical) instinct of self-preservation and do nothing or alternatively to defend oneself from unnecessary physical harm. The slogan sounds right! Without much critical analysis it is easy to proudly proclaim, "I'm so glad my kid's school has a Zero Tolerance for bullying. It makes me feel safer." Well, it shouldn't.
Although an oversimplification, there is an undercurrent of cowardice to the policy. Not wanting to make a call. Not wanting to tell a parent who believes their child can't do any wrong, "After reviewing the situation thoroughly, your child is in the wrong and this child is clearly in the right." It is easier to not take sides and just state that, "I understand you are upset ma'am but BY POLICY we suspend everyone if there is a physical altercation." It isn't that I'm making a call based on the specifics of the situation but rather "the policy" predetermining that everyone is equally guilty. Of course, it isn't the only factor, but one can't help wonder how these these issues connect to the epidemic of mental health that sees younger and younger kids depressed, suicidal, or homicidal.
In my position teaching children jujitsu for self-defense, I've had many intense telephone and in-person conversations with parents who are looking to either proactively prevent their child from being bullied or, as increasingly the case, are looking to stop the bullying their son or daughter is currently encountering. Many parents feel as if they have followed all of the administrative steps encouraged by their schools with no real results and see their children's confidence (and safety) tanking.
I encourage loving adults to give their children permission to defend themselves. They, obviously, shouldn't give children permission to get into "fights." This distinction needs to be made very clear (just as our civilian self-defense laws do). Nonetheless, kids hearing from their parents, teachers, etc. that whether it is a child abductor, an active shooter (Run, Hide, Fight), or a bully – we always have the right to protect ourselves from unwarranted violence if no other clear options are available. We need to ensure our children that they do NOT need to and SHOULD NOT negotiate with a bully who is in the middle of physically assaulting them. Children need to hear and know that their parents are not only OK with them standing up for themselves but that parents expect them to physically defend themselves. Kids need to know that they will NOT in be "in trouble" for defending themselves! Unfortunately, and unintentionally, kids get the message from adults that they will "get in trouble" for "fighting." It is considered one of the biggest No-No's! "You better not get into fights!" or they hear vague messages about "just ignore" the bully or "just walk away." Another is the message to "find an adult" if a bully is giving you trouble. Behind all of this well-intended advice is the underlying message that you shouldn't ever have to get physically involved with a bully.
Most of the time, that is right. But most of the time isn't every single time without exception! Most of the time police officers don't need to use their firearm. But most of the time isn't every time. Sometimes when all other options have been exhausted or the danger is overwhelming and upon us right now, we do what needs to be done to ensure safety. We need common sense and courage to prevail in these matters.
The combination of this so-called Zero Tolerance policy and the adult advice that strongly encourages kids to "walk away" and "not fight" comes to a breaking point when the child is at that critical moment where, despite his best efforts to put all the advice he has been given into practice, he is now a few seconds away from being physically assaulted by a bully with no help insight. It causes physical and psychological hesitation! He is at the crossroads of what he should do "in theory" versus the practical options he has right now – in reality! If he fights, he'll get "in trouble" with school and parents. If he doesn't fight – he'll get in trouble anyway (zero tolerance policy) because he was involved in a "physical altercation" and didn't "just walk away" — but at the same time if he does nothing he'll risk his physically safety. What is the young child supposed to do in this situation?
If you get a call telling you to pick up your kid from school because he was attacked and defended himself…but due to "zero tolerance" was suspended along with the bully. I would encourage you to pick up your kid and take him out for ice cream and let him know how proud of him you are for having the courage to follow through on his responsibility to keep himself safe from physical harm.
When kids know that they have permission to assert themselves and they won't be in trouble, we instantly make major gains in kids confidence. Any self-defense expert will tell you that carrying oneself with confidence is an important factor in preventing attacks to begin with. It isn't the type of coddling or pacification model of the so called "safe space" but rather a model encourages people to legitimately be safer through concrete words and actions in the world. Validating to themselves they can take action and that there is no virtue in neglecting responsibility to assert yourself when justified. This creates a situation where kids are legitimately safer through courage, confidence, and education.
Kaicho Gregory Howard began his martial arts training as a child at the honbu dojo (world headquarters) of the International Kokondo Association (IKA) under its' founder, Shihan Paul Arel (10th dan -rank retired). Today, Kaicho Howard is the world's leading authority on the authentic martial arts system of Kokondo. In late 2008, he was appointed as successor by Shihan Paul Arel, his Sensei for over 37 years. As the International Director, he is responsible for leading the IKA worldwide as well as maintaining the authenticity of the Kokondo arts. Kaicho Howard was promoted directly by Shihan Paul Arel to the rank of 7th dan in both Jukido Jujitsu & Kokondo Karate. In 2013 the Board of Masters & Directors of the International Kokondo Association unanimously awarded him the rank of kyudan after 41 years of non-stop study – the highest rank ever awarded to a living Kokondo-ka (aside from the founder). He is currently the highest-ranking black belt in Kokondo.
The long martial arts history of Kaicho Howard began in 1972. The late Shihan Arel stated that Kaicho Howard as a child was a quiet but enormously dedicated student who desired to learn everything he could about Kokondo. Kaicho Howard's passion for applying the powerful arts of jujitsu and karate for realistic self-defense has lead to a lifetime of study. He started in the art of Jukido. As Kaicho Howard's skill grew, so did his confidence. This once quiet young boy is now an intelligent, gifted communicator and martial artist.
Since Greg Howard became a nidan, at age 19, he has been the standard of Jukido jujitsu – being second in rank only to Shihan Arel. Before the passing of the founder, Kaicho Howard served as a top representative of Shihan Arel in a number of capacities. In addition to being the favorite uke (training partner) of the founder, he served in the past as the National Jukido Director and the International Associate Director of the IKA.
As Kaicho (leader), Master Howard serves Kokondo as the Chief Instructor of the Honbu (World HQ) dojo – leading regular instruction and the instruction of the Kokondo Yudanshakai (black belt association). In this capacity Kaicho, succeeds Shihan Arel, as teacher of the elite group of Kokondo black belts, including all senior sensei of the IKA. Kaicho Howard travels to teach and expand the Kokondo arts at both the national and international level.
As a martial artist Kaicho's techniques are well known and difficult to forget. His encyclopedic knowledge of how to maximize the potential power of the human body is matched only by his knowledge of how to systemically control and fundamentally destroy that very same potential. Kaicho Howard is without question a master of the maxim Seiryoku Zen'yo (optimal use of energy). Although his skill level is extraordinary and well balanced among all the branches of techniques within Kokondo, Kaicho Howard is well known for his technical proficiency in nage-waza, taiho-jutsu (arresting techniques, including atemi-waza or pressure points), and his accuracy in karate-jutsu techniques and kata.
Kaicho Howard once said that martial artists approach mastery when they use their own body's responses and trained reactions, almost as a living reference book, to teach themselves and others. Although he wasn't referring to himself, the definition holds especially true in his case. The founder instilled in Kaicho Howard the uniqueness of Kokondo. His training included the entire curriculum of Jukido Jujitsu along with old style jujitsu drawn from classical systems (specifically authentic sanzyuryu jujitsu). Kaicho Howard's Kokondo Karate experience encompasses all the Kokondo Kata as well as bunkai (applications) and himitsu (hidden) techniques within them.
As a teacher he is unique in that he can infuse and balance the traditional discipline required in the dojo while at the same time being able to provide a humorous tone as necessary. Humor is a teaching tool. It's often said that confident teachers poke fun at themselves to illustrate a point. Kaicho is a teacher with the highest level of authority and skill, but with the humility to answer a question even long after class has ended and almost everyone has left the dojo. His "hotel lobby" and "parking lot" lessons are often as memorable and beneficial as his instruction in the dojo. Howard sensei is a truly masterful teacher – a teacher's teacher.


My main research interests are the phonetic and phonological description of tone via experimental work. I consider myself an experimental phonetician, but I also have done work on phonological theory, and as such I am interested in the impacts that phonetic findings can have on phonological theory. I have a specific interest in tone systems where phonation plays a contrastive role in addition to F0. I am currently conducting production and perception studies as part of a three-year kakenhi grant that explores the roles of creakiness in languages which employ creakiness differently, including Zhuang, Burmese and Japanese.
My dissertation investigated the phenomenon of consonant-tone interaction, where in some languages, restrictions exist on which consonants and tones can be adjacent. I focus on Thai, where voiced stop and voiceless unaspirated stop onset consonants are never found immediately preceding high and rising tone vowels. I ran a production study, where it was discovered that among the Thai onset consonants, only voiced and voiceless unaspirated stops are produced with significant glottal constriction. Finally, I ran an experiment that explores how speakers of Thai judge nonce words that contain illicit sequences of onset consonants and tones. While there is much research on illicit segmental sequences, there is considerably less on illicit sequences containing both segmental and tonal units.
My MA thesis, completed at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Douglas Pulleyblank, explored ATR harmony in Yorùbá. Through field work with a speaker of the Mọba dialect of Yorùbá, I discovered that the domain of harmony differed from the standard dialect. I then proposed an Optimality-Theoretic account to account for this. A preliminary version of this research was presented at the 35th Annual Conference on African Linguistics (ACAL) in 2004.
I have also co-authored conference presentations (with Dr. Seunghun Lee) that have explored both the phonological and phonetic aspects of tone in Korean and Du'an Zhuang, a minority language of China. Finally, my second qualifying paper at Rutgers explored the location of main sentential prominence in English and I have recently done some research on prosody in Japanese L2 learners of English.

The streaming devices of the likes of Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV or the Chromecast Ultra have come of age, allowing people to let go of their cable subscription for good. Although a stable and reasonably fast internet connection is a pre-requisite to let the devices stream content to the TVs, the continued surge in demand for the devices prove they are here for the long run.
Mentioned here is a quick compare of the three most sought-after streaming devices currently ruling the roost of the market, which includes the Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku Streaming Stick and Google Chromecast Ultra.
Amazon Fire TV Stick: The Amazon offering comes bundled with a remote that again is powered by the Alexa smart assistant, the same that serves as the backbone of the company's Echo range of speakers. The remote is voice controlled too, which makes it naturally best suited for those who already have the Alexa speaker in their homes. Also, there is no dearth of entertainment option with the Fire TV Stick, what with access to content from the likes of Netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW, YouTube, and so on, besides Amazon Video as well.
The device is compatible with any TV that offers an HDMI out port, irrespective of it being Android or iOS based. At $35.00, it also is among the cheaper options but has a max display resolution of 1080p. Buy Amazon Fire TV at $24.99.
Amazon Fire TV 4K resolution: This happens to be the Amazon solution for those who'd like to view things in super high resolution. As is already mentioned, the device supports operation with 4K TVs, which is also complemented with integrated support for Dolby Atmos Audio.
Everything else remains just the same as the base Fire TV Stick except for the price of course, which is a higher $69.99 for the 4K compatible Fire TV Stick. Buy Amazon Fire 4K TV at 69.99.
Google Chromecast Ultra: This happens to be the Chromecast that buyers need to have if they value top notch resolution above anything else. Also, coming as it does from Google, it is deeply entrenched in the Android ecosystem, making it easy to be operated from just about any Android mobile or tablet. That said, Google has also ensured the same ease of operation via any iPhone or iPad as well provided they download the requisite app for it.
Also, unlike other streaming devices, the phone or the tablet serves as the remote. Users would be required to search for the content via the app or Chrome browser and 'cast' the same to the Chromecast Ultra for viewing on the TV. Content can be streamed from Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, HBO NOW and such. As for its price, the Chromecast Ultra remains competitive at $69.00. Buy Google Chromecast Ultra at $54.00.
Chromecast: This happens to be the original version, one that supports up to HD quality resolution. At $35, it also happens to be the among the cheaper option while still offering to stream content from all major content providers such as Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, HBO NOW and so on. The other inherent benefit with Chromecast remains intact in that the device can be used to cast content from just about any device, including even the laptop while the devices can still be used for other functions. Buy Chromecast at $20.
Apple TV 4K: This is largely for the Apple fans, those who already have Apple TV installed in their homes. Apple iTunes is also the natural choice for streaming content though other options such as Netflix, Hulu, and ESPN too are available. The bundled voice controlled remote is powered by Siri and will respond with the same voice commands as it does on iPhones. The device is also the costliest of the lot, with a sticker price tag of $179.99. Buy Apple TV 4K.
Roku Streaming Stick+: Roku is among the pioneers here and have a compatible streaming player for the new age 4K UHD TVs as well. These are small and handy devices that can be plugged into any compatible TV that comes with an HDMI slot. It also boasts of a long list of supported content partners that range from Netflix, Google Play, Amazon prime Video, Hulu, CineNow, HBO NOW and so on. The device is also competitively priced at $69.99. Buy Roku Streaming Stick+ at $48.00.
Roku Express Streaming Media Player: This happens to be an original streaming device, one that limits display resolution to 1080p. It also connects to most HDTVs via a Wi-Fi network and can stream contents from Netflix, Hulu, and PBS Kids. It is compatible with both Android and iOS and happens to be cheapest of the lot, priced as it is at just $24.99. Buy Roku Express Streaming Media Player at $24.99.

version de Android Studio 2.2
Muchas gracias por su atención y respuestas.

A: Este detalle no es exclusivo de Android 2.2, la solucion en este caso es cambiar manualmente el path del JDK.
Entra al menu  File > Project Structure > SDK Location
En tu sistema debes reconocer el path y configurarlo:

En Windows:

Debemos tener en cuenta que podemos usar el embedded JDK que se tiene en la instalación de Android Studio:

Que generalmente se encuentra en la ruta:
\Android Studio\jre
u optar por no usar el instalado por Android Studio y usar el que instalamos desde el sitio de Oracle:

podemos encontrar el path como el definido en JAVA_HOME de las environment variables.

En caso de no encontrarlo, podemos añadirlo de la siguiente manera:

*

*Dirigirse hacia propiedades del equipo (Click derecho en 'Equipo', presionar la opción 'Propiedades')

*Seleccionar 'Configuración avanzada del sistema' > 'Opciones avanzadas' > 'Variables de entorno' > En variables de usuario, 'Nueva...' y allí como nombre escribir JAVA_HOME y en su valor, la dirección de la ubicación de la carpeta del archivo jdk ya instalado, cuyo instalador puede descargarse desde aquí

For what type of product do we recommend it?
The SaveRing carousel type vending machine is the perfect solution, if you wish to store and distribute a large variety of product up to 540 unique items. Since the products are stored on and distributed from the rotating plates, and as opposed to coil-based machine, are not dropped during the transaction, SaveRing is ideal for fragile items, since damage risks are non-existent using a transaction are is also perfect for heavier, liquid items. Moreover, since the front panels are not transparent, employees can only view the products on the touchscreen that they have access to in the first place.
SaveRing is part of the SaveLog system, is managed by the same, easy to use and edit software application as the rest of our IVM machines, such as SavePro.
SaveRing was designed with ergonomic aspects in mind, making the products stored inside easy to access and remove. The operation is also exceptionally secure: the interior of the machine cannot rotate until all panels are closed and there is a zero risk of injuries (optional).
SaveRing combines 4 functions in 1 machine: it can simultaneously distribute products, rent and track products, return and store used items, and to order items currently not stored in the unit through an e-catalogue. The ordered products will be shipped by your refiller to your facility where they will be placed in your SaveBox. The SaveRing sends a notification upon the item's arrival.
The size of access doors can simply be adjusted to the size of the compartments.


This is the prevailing theme at all four parks in Ambler. As someone who doesn't own a dog, I hadn't given it much thought until recently. The topic has come up several times on the Ambler facebook page and it seems that there are many residents who are in favor of at least one of our parks becoming dog friendly. There is a large number of dog owners in Ambler, that is evident when walking or driving through town and also at the Ambler Main Street community events, particularly the most recent, Dog Days! One of the many wonderful things about Ambler is that it is a walkable town, having to put Fido in the car to visit a quasi-local dog park seems contradictory to one of the major benefits of living in town. With so many dog owners, doesn't it make sense to have a dog friendly park in the borough, within walking distance? In my opinion, it's a no-brainer! I suspect many residents, and four legged friends alike, would be happy if any of the parks were to allow dogs, I think Ambler Borough Park is the perfect spot. It is a beautiful, tucked away park that encompasses almost nine acres, complete with a large play area, walking paths and a creek. It is well maintained by the borough and there seem to be few who use it. If you would like to see a dog friendly park in Ambler please comment below and let's get the ball rolling!

We would absolutely love to see ambler borough park become dog friendly!! I have countless other neighbors who feel the same way I do. What do we have to do to make this happen?
Hi Kelley! I am in the information gathering stage now, but ultimately it has to be approved by the borough so I thought this would be a good way to show them the demand. I'll keep you posted, lets hope that they are receptive!!!
Our family has always thought that Ambler Borough Park would make a fantastic dog park – Let's hope that this happens!
That would be great – for the dogs and a way to get to know your neighbors.
I would love a dog friendly park in Ambler!!
Travis, my lab, and I would love a dog park in Ambler. Thanks for working on this.
I don't even know that park even though I've walked by it a hundred times; that's because I always have my dogs with me. I've never been in there. Yes, just one park with such a dog-town would be really nice. And as anyone who has ever been to a dog park there is a lot of commerodary going on with the owners. More community bonding!!!
Good luck with the dog park. I totally agree that one is needed and the Boro Park is ideal. Unfortunately I don't see it happening unless there is a major groundswell of support.
Everyone has an opinion but if politicians are supposed to follow the voice of the people, I hope they all listen to the residents and try to find an accommodation.

Olympics Rewind: Nicole Cooke recalls Beijing 2008 road race gold
Media playback is not supported on this device
Olympic Rewinds: 14-24 July
Watch the best moments of the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, the BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app.
Click here for full details and times
Nicole Cooke was just 12 when she told a BBC reporter that she wanted to win the Olympic road race and the Tour de France.
Big dreams indeed, but there's nothing wrong with a little youthful enthusiasm. And dreams can, and do, come true.
"There was a big cycling world still to discover and a very long path in front of me," says Briton Cooke, 25 years on.
"It was a natural way to say that I didn't quite know what was in store, but I was definitely aiming for the top."
Little did Cooke and that reporter know just what that young Welsh girl, who would race her father and brother the five miles to and from school each day, would go on to achieve.
Olympic gold, tick. Tour de France, two ticks. And a CV bursting with quite a lot more.
Recalling the day she won the Beijing 2008 road race, Cooke's smile as she's talking is so obvious it can almost be heard down the phone.
Her gold was the first of 19 won by Great Britain at that Olympics and, 12 years on, she can still remember every minute detail.
"I'm very happy looking back," she says. "I'm extremely proud of everything I achieved. It is part of me.
"The Olympics is special, not everyone can win it."
Her gold was the first won at an Olympics by a British female cyclist, the first individual gold won by a Welsh woman, and Great Britain's 200th since the birth of the modern Games in 1896.
But this story, and those published in the aftermath of Cooke's success, may never have been written had she gone down one route, and not the other, in the latter months of 2007.
Olympics Rewind: BBC to show highlights from past three Games
From dark days to gold
Four years before Beijing, Cooke had made her long-awaited Olympic debut in Athens. She finished fifth in the road race – a result she was "extremely disappointed" with, given her World Cup success in 2003 and the fact she had become the youngest rider to win the Giro d'Italia earlier in 2004.
Remarkably, her Giro win had come after eight months of no racing following surgery on a knee injury she had first sustained in a nasty crash the previous year.
Knee injuries would plague Cooke for years – so much so that in the dark days of November 2007, nine months before the Olympics, Cooke strongly considered quitting.
"I didn't want to go to the Olympics and just be there. I wanted to go to try to win it," she says.
"I was really struggling to see how I was going to be competitive.
"I was thinking of stopping and packing it all in, but I think, deep down, I still wanted to give it everything and I still wanted to try."
And try she did. Going into Beijing, she had raced less than she would have done in a normal season, but had won her eighth consecutive British Road Race Championship.
She was excited, though a little nervous. The British team – Cooke, Emma Pooley and Sharon Laws – visited the course in the days before the race, doing a practice finish.
"I just felt really, really good, and very strong," Cooke recalls. "I then became quite nervous over the last couple of days because I realised that I really could do this. This could be the time."
Those who watched Cooke's golden race will remember the rain, the seemingly endless torrential downpour more typically akin to that of the Welsh hills than the Great Wall of China.
It made the riding conditions abysmal, but Cooke negotiated the punishing 126km race – from the centre of Beijing to loops around the Badaling section of the Great Wall – to perfection.
Much of it was spent conserving energy, waiting for the right moment to attack, before she and four others formed a breakaway with about 6km to go.
On the final, steep incline leading to the finish, many, including the television commentators, thought Cooke was out of the running.
But she had other ideas.
"I felt happy that I could go from a long-ish way out, and still have that extra push for the line," she explains.
"The others were there to take it if I made the slightest mistake, so I had to be very careful, but I was also coming into that finish thinking: 'I can decide when I go, this is my kind of finish.' I really liked this kind of power sprint uphill.
"I was closing from behind but there was still quite a little bit to go. There was a right curve with about 400 metres to go. I knew I was coming up the hill faster, the shortest way up was on the inside.
"I didn't want to be at the back when the sprint started, so I knew I had to get a bit further forward with these riders. But then I realised I was going faster so I felt I could take it all the way.
"In the moment I did all these things instinctively. There wasn't much to think about once I'd committed."
With her legs no doubt screaming, Cooke powered her way to a historic victory, Sweden's Emma Johansson and Italian Tatiana Guderzo taking silver and bronze in her wake.
When you watch the footage of Cooke crossing the line it is quite, as she puts it, "revealing" of the emotions and thoughts going through her head in those moments.
"I clenched my fists for ages, just shouting: 'Yes,'" she laughs. "There was a little bit of: 'Wow, this is incredible.' That's what I was thinking. I actually did it.
"It was the absolute pinnacle of my sporting career. It was the Olympics, and I had done it and won."
Many would have been content with that. Cooke probably would have been. Yet 2008 wasn't over.
Just six weeks later, she won World Championship gold, becoming the first cyclist to win the Olympic and world road races in the same year.
A history-maker. Again.
'I'm proud of being a trailblazer'
Cooke retired in January 2013 having "won every race and more that I dreamed I could win". Now living in Switzerland, she still enjoys getting out on her bike, but is "well into her second career" working in strategy.
But back in Britain, her legacy lives on in the cycling world.
Her achievements make for an impressive read. In addition to those Olympic, world and Tour de France titles, she was also the first British rider to win a Grand Tour, the World Cup, and to reach world number one.
"I'm proud of being a trailblazer, setting new firsts in the world of women's road racing," she says.
"Also, being a trailblazer for sport in Wales and ending a drought of 36 years since the last Welsh Olympic gold medallist."
Cooke's retirement statement was explosive. In it, she took aim at the "male-dominated sport", as well as drugs cheats who she said had brought about cycling's "darkest days".
As she puts it, Cooke did "more than just ride a bike" during her career and was not afraid to stand up for what she felt was right.
And while they may not necessarily realise it, the generations of female athletes who followed Cooke into cycling have a lot to thank her for.
"I changed cycling in Britain for women," she says. "I was the one who stood up and asked the question: 'If we can we have an under-16 British Track Championships for the boys, can we have the same track championships for girls?'
"After getting no as a first answer, I continued to ask or, as some at British Cycling say, to demand.
"I'm very proud that there is now a way through those British Championships for those riders to have a showcase to race, and have their own pathway through from being that 12-year-old with a dream to the Olympics."
