Director, Brooklyn Borough Office, NYC Department of City Planning
Winston Von Engel
Winston Von Engel is the Director of the Brooklyn Borough Office of the NYC Department of City Planning since September 2014. Previously, he was the Office's Deputy Director since 2001, and had been a planner in the Office since 1989.
As part of the Mayor Bill de Blasio's Housing New York, Winston oversaw the 2016 East New York Neighborhood Plan and rezoning that is projected to create of almost 6,000 units of housing in the next 15 years with deep affordability and over $ 250 million in capital project and service commitments. Other recent accomplishments include the publication of the North Brooklyn Industry and Innovation Plan, the most in-depth study of one of the largest industrially zoned areas since the 1961 Zoning Resolution, and the Gowanus Neighborhood Plan, which seeks to promote a thriving and inclusive neighborhood of housing with affordable housing, economic development, resiliency and sustainability, and infrastructure improvements.
As Deputy Director of the Brooklyn Office from 2001 to 2014, Winston oversaw numerous neighborhood rezonings which balanced modest increases in growth with reductions in density under the administration of Mayor Bloomberg. Winston also helped direct the Downtown Brooklyn Plan which has transformed that Central Business District into a vibrant, 24/7 center with new residents, stores, cultural facilities, offices and public amenities.
Prior to his role as Deputy Director, Winston was the planner for Downtown Brooklyn and managed the first comprehensive look at that business district and resulted in the first designation of the area as a special zoning district. He started his career with the Department at the Brooklyn Office as the planner for East New York and Ocean Hill/Brownsville. He coordinated the review of land use changes that resulted in the rebuilding of these important neighborhoods which were ravaged by private abandonment with new housing and retail through public urban renewal plans and other public investments. It was the prospect of being the planner for these neighborhoods that Winston chose to work at the Department of City Planning.
Winston received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Master of Science in City and Regional Planning from Pratt Institute in 1986 and 1988, respectively. From 1986 to 1988, Winston won a Fulbright Scholarship for the study of the public housing in Vienna, Austria.

Key Verse: "But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him" (Psalm 4:3).
A visitor going into the studio of a great painter found on his easel, some very fine gems, brilliant and sparkling. Asked why he kept them there, the painter replied, "I kept them there to tone up my eyes, when I am working in pigments; insensibly the sense of colour becomes weakened. By having these pure colours before me to refresh my eyes, the sense of colour is brought up again just as the musician by his tuning fork brings his string up to the concert pitch".
The psalm under consideration may have been written at the time when David asked his enemies to reconsider their support for Absalom. Others see it as a prayer for relief from calamity or affliction. Whichever way it is, one thing stands out in this psalm, that is, the special place godly people occupy in the heart of God. The Bible says, God "hath set apart him that is godly for himself". God readily identifies with the godly to protect and provide for them in times of need. The godly are people who are faithful and devoted to Him. David, because of the confidence he had in God, knew that He would hear and answer him when he called. He further admonishes everyone to fear God, run away from sin and put their trust in God.
The deliverance, preservation and protection of the godly are to keep them for the sacred service of God. There are many souls (men, women, youths and children) to be brought into the kingdom of God. There are converts to be discipled and established in the Lord. God is depending on those who have known the truth to persuade others who are yet to know Him.
God daily protects us from all evils and keeps us in the faith by His unfailing grace, to be actively involved in His service. Those who are genuinely saved, but still shy away from God's workforce should get on board without delay.
We are saved, separated and secured to serve God.


We live in a "highlight-reel" society. We use social media to put our best out there. We are trained to post our sexiest, smartest, coolest, or holiest statuses and pictures in order to get people to click a button that says we are "liked." And yet, we lay on our beds each night thinking not about our highlights, but our bloopers. We know the worst that we have done. We know the disconnect between what we want, where we are, and what we do. We feel lonely deep down because we know that we are not really known. If people really knew everything about us, would they even have a reason to accept us? If others can't accept me, or if I can't eve accept myself, then how could God?
I remember years ago, I sat in a mentor's office and told him a part of my story that I had not told anyone. I revealed the ugliest, most broken parts of me, the parts that I thought made me unacceptable. He turned, looked me in the eye, hugged me, and said that it changes nothing for our relationship. But something did change; I knew that I was finally, totally accepted. He did not accept me only for the good parts, but also the bad. He saw the best and worst, and he accepted all of it.
When none of me was finally hidden, I knew that all of me was finally accepted and totally loved.
I believe this is the approach we must take with God. We must know that God fully knows us. We need to expose ourselves fully to Him. When I know that God really knows all of me, I begin to see that God actually accepts me. In Christ, my worst parts have been atoned for and His best record has been given to me. I am totally known before God and am totally accepted in Him too.
To take it one step further, we need to do this for one another. We are designed to know, and to be known. We need to embrace, and to be embraced. As we do that, we will actually begin to give and receive the acceptance that God has for us. What if we were fully known by our siblings in Christ? What if we saw the unacceptable pieces of people and still accepted them? What if we were so broken yet so loved that we never lived insecure?
What is a way that you can better let someone in your world know and love you deeper this week? What is a way that you can deeper know and love someone in your world this week?
Father, thank you for knowing me intimately and loving me deeply. Help me to never hide from you or your people but rather run to You and your people to better be known and loved. Help me know others well and love them deeply.


The UK's largest police force has a new chief information officer. London's Metropolitan Police Service has announced that Angus McCallum has been appointed to the role with a brief to head up its Digital Policing team.
He has joined the Met from BG Group from the oil and gas multinational BG Group, where he was global CIO for five years, and has previously worked for Metrogas, British Gas and Manchester Liners.
The Met's announcement said that McCallum, who will join its management board, will be responsible for implementing its Digital Policing transformation plans, including the introduction of a new target operating model, appointment of a senior leadership team and delivering savings which the Met needs to make through its current transformation plans.
Digital Policing is responsible for the strategic development of ICT within policing in London, including the technology infrastructure, deployment in policing activities and the assessment of emerging technologies.
Craig Mackey, deputy commissioner of the Met Police, said: "Over the next three to four years we envisage an unprecedented transformation of our technology. Under Angus' stewardship, we will deliver the transformation to equip our officers with cutting edge mobile technology, enabling them provide a faster and more effective response to crime across London.
McCallum said: "Maximising the use of technology – particularly mobile and digital technology to enable frontline police officers to be more effective as well as strengthening the police/public partnership is a fantastic challenge – working with the UK's biggest police force who have responsibility for one of the top cities in the world is an added bonus."
The appointment marks the end of a lengthy process, with the deadline for initial applications having been in May of last year.

The first time I heard about Stephanie's situation—a few months after her arrest—I had no idea how typical her story was. At the hospital, doctors identified Dinah as a victim of shaken baby syndrome, or SBS, based on the pattern of bleeding and swelling inside her head. Like Dinah, a shaken baby might exhibit no visible signs of assault: No bruising, no abrasions, no red marks.
Experts agree that the first sign of the syndrome might be vomiting and lethargy, which Dinah had. What brings the child to the emergency room is usually seizures and breathing problems, also like Dinah's. Caretakers accused of shaking often report an apparent choking, followed by altered consciousness. The experts have concluded that choking is only part of the story, and that fussiness during eating is a common trigger for abuse by shaking.
The numbers vary from study to study, but roughly speaking a quarter to a third of the children hospitalized with the symptoms of SBS die. About half of the survivors, like Dinah Nelson, are left with permanent and often profound brain damage. The remaining third or so recover with no obvious effects.
But I didn't know any of this the day I heard about Stephanie, on a park bench under the redwoods next to the playground with my friend Judy, while our children chased each other over the plastic-coated tubes and ladders.
"Oh, no," I breathed, with a scowl of my own, for the child, for the niece, for the unwelcome topic.
Judy explained about the home child-care business, the choking, the resuscitation, the diagnosis.
"Well, it's awful. It has her whole life torn up, and she's just accused, not convicted." Stephanie wasn't allowed any contact with her own two-year-old. She and her husband had already burned through their savings and borrowed money from relatives to hire a lawyer.
Stephanie's father Larry had always said that his firstborn was going to be a doctor: She was confident and decisive, good at science, easy with people. With no better plan in mind, Steph had started college as a pre-med, but when she found out about a golf-management program offered at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, she transferred in a flash. She married another golf-management student, and after graduation the two of them worked at country clubs in Florida. Fun job, low pay, long hours.
"Of course she didn't do it! Steph's great with kids. It doesn't even make sense." The child had old injuries, Judy told me, healing fractures and other things. There was a workman there that day who didn't see anything suspicious, didn't hear the child crying or anything.
"So they'll figure it out," I offered. Easy to say, there in the shade on the bench in the park.
I knew mothers who could cook dinner while nursing an infant in a sling, women who could balance the baby on one hip and spread peanut butter for the toddler with the other, even a writer who claimed to work at his desk with the baby strapped to his chest in a Snugli. I could never do it. A youngest child myself, and a mother only late in life, I was terrified for those soft, bald heads, which I wanted nowhere near the hot stove or the hard tiles or the sharp knife. I was barely in control during diaper changes—four squirmy limbs versus two tentative hands—and I never could manage to work if I was in the same house with anyone who was under 5 and awake.
Before our first son was born, I'd been writing technical manuals on contract from my home office. I thought I'd be able to keep on, at least part time, while the baby napped and cooed in his bassinet. I was wrong. Our first son, highly interactive and alert to every sound, claimed himself a data point way out on the flat tip at the low end of the need-for-sleep bell curve. Previously accustomed to hours alone at my desk, I'd been swallowed by the needs of the most fascinating creature I had ever encountered, who seemed to want nothing more than my undivided attention. I was enchanted, but sleep-deprived and dizzy from the subsumption of self. As Lucas approached six months, I understood that if I wanted the brain time to write anything more complex than a thank-you note for a baby gift, I would need help.
So I'll always be grateful to Phyllis, the woman who, over time, took each of our sons into her home five hours a day for three years of their lives, six years of mine. In Phyllis's playroom, I got to watch a woman with a gift for young children. You could tell she enjoyed the little ones, and they trusted her. Weather permitting, she spent afternoons in her front yard with a baby on one hip, while the toddlers poured and pounded at the sand table or circled the driveway on their Big Wheels. Even our skeptical firstborn cooperated with Phyllis, proud to be one of her helpers as he began to discover his own competencies.
Like Stephanie, Phyllis was caring for other people's children only while hers were young—she would go back to office work later, but for a few key years she wanted to be at home with the next generation. She was reading books on child development and delighting in everybody's milestones, herself a real part of each child's life. My husband and I felt lucky to have met her.
By the time I heard Stephanie's story, our children and Phyllis's had all started elementary school. Phyllis had remained a family friend, though, and our sons were like cousins to each other. The way Judy told it, Stephanie was like Phyllis, one of those people who resonated with the very young. I didn't have the knack myself, but I thought I'd seen it.
I asked myself, if someone told me that Phyllis had, in a moment of anger, beaten and battered one of the infants she cared for, what would I say? I knew the answer before I could finish the thought: I'd say that person was wrong.


In the late 1950's, the Eames office created a solar toy. This toy was unique in many ways; but the most unique aspect (particularly in light of the way things seem to be done today) was the fact that Charles Eames was interested in creating a toy that did nothing. in terms of "doing nothing" he didn't mean that it would be a static and mute object, rather, he was interested in an object that didn't direct one towards specific answers (or in the case of the work of a designer, towards a specific "use"). It followed an ideology found in much of his work, where the power of play is valued as an experience that can be quite powerful in and of itself, and where a sense of wonder can lead to a depth of thought and an expansive understanding.

Home » [Steroids and Other Performance Enhancing Drugs] » Testosterone & Other Steroids » EQ side effects ?
I am looking for a compound that I can run for 6 months, along with test. EQ seems to be a good option since it's not too harsh on the system.
The problem is I am already hungry all the time and also prone to anxiety .. and I read EQ increases hunger and sometimes anxierty. Is this true ?
All drugs effect people in different ways but EQ (excuse the pun) makes me eat like a horse, I don't suffer from anxiety so can't answer that sorry.
If I was going to run another med along side Test for 6 months then it would be GH.
ok thanks. What dosage would you run ? 4 iu ED ?
i've been on anti depressants and EQ doesn't make me anxious man - makes me have the munchies but other than that nothing.
also a good drug to run for a long time but then so is HGH although EQ is significantly cheaper.
My last cycle was test e and EQ,got really good gains from it. Probably best course I've run.
I eat a lot anyway,just make sure you food prep so you've always got good food to hand,never suffered from anxiety with it though.
What dosage of Test and EQ did you run and how long for ? did you get a bulky gains or lean gains ?
iv been wanting to run this cycle for a while but been scared of putting on Excess weight with the increased hunger EQ is known to give you.
Can u run test for 6 months ?
I will not do Tren without EQ. It ups the amount of red blood cells allowing more oxygen to be carried which counters the Tren killing your cardio. I can still do 5k on Tren due to adding EQ and not feel like my heart is going to explode.
EQ for me has been pretty damn beneficial. I simply run a fairly small dose of long ester test a week 175/200mg and 500mg of EQ. I tend to delay the test into the cycle until about 8 weeks in. There is absolutely no logic behind it, all I can think is that the first time I ran EQ I ran it alone to see how it effected me. Then after the EQ is finished I switch to test prop @ 200mg a week for 4/5 weeks while the long esters get out of my system then run my PCT.
A strange red "rash" from shoulder to shoulder on my chest appears after around week 2.
Nuts seem to go to bed around week 6.
Hot "flushes" after eating carb heavy ("Rosey" cheeks making it look like i've been on the slash) around week 6.
When doing cardio you will sweat buckets. If you get the odd headache you're not drinking enough water. My water intake has to be around 6-8 litres a day just to keep the headaches away and my piss a normal looking colour.
Horrible cramp's/pumps across the shoulders and neck when on my motorbike. (I really cant figure that one out usually occurs 6-8 weeks in and happens every bloody time I try to duck down in the wind to the point of having to pull up sharpish and stretch - although dropping creatine as a supplement seems to stop this).
Insanely noticeable increase in stamina appears around week 4. This seems to spike quickly then a gradual increase throughout the cycle. This is the main benefit of EQ for that nothing else (apart from Var) seems to give.
Noticeable change and vascularity around weeks 8 - 10 depending on diet.
Gains seem to spring from no where around the same time. IE go to put on your favorite jeans and they feel noticeably tighter on the thighs.
Appetite increase - Noticed no change.
Acne - I've always got the odd spot so no noticable change.
Sensative nips - Not noticed anything.
Weeks 1 - 16 - 500mg of EQ (2x 250mg a week).
Weeks 8 - 14 - 200mg of Test (Long Ester) (1x 200mg a week).
Weeks 15 - 20 - 200mg of Test Prop (2x 100mg a week).
Weeks 15 - 22 - 75mg of 'var a day (funds permitting).

Sorry, I'm not that computer ..saavyy =[. But thanks for the inputs I'm actually just buying separate parts from newegg now.
No need to apologize. We're here for info and reference. But I agree, even a 7200RPM drive would be better that the one you've currently selected.
The minimum for optimal performance would be 7200RPM.
I would go for Intel instead of Amd as for the same prize you can get bit more faster quad core processor and if you add few more bucks [20 tops] you can get much more solid motherboard aswell.
Edit: and with the HDD , do not go for it , you will regret it.Too expensive , too slow.If you need help buiding that up feel free to send me pm, can help you with that.
Thanks everyone for your input :] I actually decided to go in a new direction ..I just ordered parts from newegg. It isn't the latest and greatest but it is a nice first computer and has plenty of room for upgrade.

A True Blessing: Congresswoman Giffords Responding To Verbal Commands By Raising Two Fingers And Gives Doctors A Thumbs Up »
Playing Politics with Pain
Posted by Adrienne Ross on January 10, 2011
By Adrienne Ross – http://www.motivationtruth.com
The games people play. I hate them. And what I've seen the last couple days since the horrific shooting in Arizona has given me a deeper, more vehement hatred for them.
Maybe it's my naivete. Maybe it's the fact that I didn't grow up immersed in the dirt of politics. Whatever it is, I simply cannot wrap my brain around people using human tragedy for political posturing. I've sort of sat on this since Saturday, but the churning in my stomach and the weight upon my chest necessitate that I speak up. Perhaps you've heard others weigh in on some of the same issues, but I must have my say…
The thought that a public official meeting with constituents could be so cruelly gunned down is unfathomable. The sound of parents mourning the loss of their nine year old girl, who wanted only to see how her government works, breaks my heart. These are just two of the victims. So many lives have been forever impacted by the evil act of Jared Loughner. I continue to pray for all involved, for as much as words, cards, and vigils are appreciated, only God can bring peace at a time like this.
I am reminded, however, during this time, of how much I have abhorred politics for most of my life. I am certainly no wet behind the ears, pie in the sky juvenile, but I must admit that I expected better of people than what I am seeing. In spite of the endless hours of news coverage, the emails, and the Facebook rants, I still cannot grasp how people could use such a tragedy to push a narrative that they know isn't true. And surely they must know. No rational human being can justify blaming Governor Palin for the shootings that took place. No rational human being can really offer a case that Loughner–a mentally sick, unstable man–performed his evil act because Governor Palin, using a common political symbol, asked the American people to vote Congresswoman Giffords out of office. Although they played it up like they did–because it was politically advantageous–no one really thought when she posted the surveryor map months ago that she was advocating violence. They knew better then, and anyone with a shred of common sense knows better now.
However, it's a game for these people. This is the opportunity they've been waiting for. This is their chance, as they see it, to silence Governor Palin–and they don't care if doing so means playing politics with pain. They don't care about Congresswoman Giffords, Christina-Taylor Green, the nine year old slain girl, or even the facts. They only care about gaining political advantage. Check mate! King me! Bingo! These are the words gameplayers say, isn't it, when they have reached one of their most desired goals? Such is the case here. And that's what turns my stomach.
Violence is real. Pain shatters. Jared Loughner is a mad man who ALONE is responsible for the carnage left at Safeway in Arizona. But good people like Governor Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh are blamed.
Why is it that after the Fort Hood shooting, President Obama and journalists, among others, urged Americans not to jump to conclusions but are not urging the same restraint in this case? Instead, people rushed in to pin this one man's heinous crime on the Tea Party and Governor Palin.
Byron York reports:
There was ample evidence, in other words, that the Ft. Hood attack was an act of Islamist violence.
Nevertheless, public officials, journalists, and commentators were quick to caution that the public should not "jump to conclusions" about Hasan's motive. CNN, in particular, became a forum for repeated warnings that the subject should be discussed with particular care.
"The important thing is for everyone not to jump to conclusions," said retired Gen. Wesley Clark on CNN the night of the shootings.
"We cannot jump to conclusions," said CNN's Jane Velez-Mitchell that same evening. "We have to make sure that we do not jump to any conclusions whatsoever."
"I'm on Pentagon chat room," said former CIA operative Robert Baer on CNN, also the night of the shooting. "Right now, there's messages going back and forth, saying do not jump to the conclusion this had anything to do with Islam."
The next day, President Obama underscored the rapidly-forming conventional wisdom when he told the country, "I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts." In the days that followed, CNN jouralists and guests repeatedly echoed the president's remarks.
"We can't jump to conclusions," Army Gen. George Casey said on CNN November 8. The next day, political analyst Mark Halperin urged a "transparent" investigation into the shootings "so the American people don't jump to conclusions." And when Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra, then the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, suggested that the Ft. Hood attack was terrorism, CNN's John Roberts was quick to intervene. "Now, President Obama has asked people to be very cautious here and to not jump to conclusions," Roberts said to Hoekstra. "By saying that you believe this is an act of terror, are you jumping to a conclusion?"
Fast forward a little more than a year, to January 8, 2011. In Tucson, Arizona, a 22 year-old man named Jared Lee Loughner opened fire at a political event, gravely wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killing a federal judge and five others, and wounding 18. In the hours after the attack, little was known about Loughner beyond some bizarre and largely incomprehensible YouTube postings that, if anything, suggested he was mentally ill. Yet the network that had shown such caution in discussing the Ft. Hood shootings openly discussed the possibility that Loughner was inspired to violence by…Sarah Palin. Although there is no evidence that Loughner was in any way influenced by Palin, CNN was filled with speculation about the former Alaska governor.
In truth, Governor Palin needs no defense. She has done nothing wrong. I'll just say this: the Governor Palin I know and respect loves her God, loves her family, loves her country. She would never advocate violence of any kind. Those who are using this incident to target her and pretend she's responsible for violence are the ones inciting violence. She has been on the receiving end of threats for a long time now, but just since Saturday's shooting, she has been the target of even more sickening vitriol and threats. The people who so dishonestly are blaming her for the actions of Loughner are hypocrites, liars, and dangerous people, and I have heard from these people in the last few days–via email, via twitter. They make me sick.
The following YouTube video, courtesy of Breitbart.tv, exposes death wishes and threats made on Twitter. Be forewarned: the language is disgusting and the messages sick, but these are people accusing her of advocating violence. Such glaring, heart-rending hypocrisy:
See, this is the game I'm talking about. Radical haters are using the pain that families, colleagues, a state, and a nation are dealing with to promote their own agenda. They feel justified now, it seems, in their own desire to rid the planet of Governor Palin, despite the fact that there is absolutely no rationale for such thinking. Let's take a look at their sick game, as reported by Politico:
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.
"They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers," said the Democrat. "Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people."
The truth of the matter is this guy was no tea partier. He was a nut. As Jim Hoft writes:
The shooter was a pro-Marxist, anti-flag, anti-Constitution, anti-religious crackpot. He was hardly a tea partier.
Newsmax.com points out:
The left's systematic ridicule of Sarah Palin and other conservatives following the Arizona shooting rampage reflects a deliberate campaign to "ultimately criminalize" conservative thought in America, according to media watchdog L. Brent Bozell.
Bozell said such efforts to blame the Tucson massacre on conservatives reflect a broader agenda.
"This is a part of a campaign to delegitimize, and ultimately criminalize, conservative thought in this country," Bozell said. "Note how quickly The New York Times came out with an editorial calling for the Fairness Doctrine as a result of this.
"I mean, anything to pin to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin or the Tea Party … anybody on the conservative side, to delegitimize them, that's what they're going to do. That's the tactics of the far left."
Truth always comes out. The truth is that this man has no connection to the Tea Party or Governor Palin. He is a nut, was refused by the military, and is a drug abuser. He has been in trouble with the law before and was kicked out of college because his bizarre behavior was a serious concern. His interest in Rep. Giffords isn't something new. He has been obsessed with her since 2007. His actions weren't the result of some so-called political rhetoric. His actions stemmed from the fact that he has serious issues that went unaddressed. His college professor and former classmates are now speaking out about how odd he was, how dangerous he appeared, and how unsafe he made them feel. But somehow Governor Palin and other conservatives are responsible? Give me a break.
Again, unlike the far-Left loons who choose to politicize pain while advocating violence themselves, Governor Palin hates violence, has stated time and time again that violence is no solution, and has no connection whatsoever to Jared Loughner. Disagree with her on issues, if you must. But enough of playing this political game of accusing her of murder, a game as sick and demented as the shooter himself.
Today on his radio show, Glenn Beck discussed communicating with Governor Palin this weekend via email. He shared these words she wrote to him:
I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. Thanks for all you do to send the message of truth and love and God as the answer.
This is the real Governor Palin. This is the person–the public servant–I support. The games need to stop. The politicizing of pain to coerce certain people to sit down and shut up will be exposed for what it is.
I stand against this reprehensible, deplorable behavior. I stand with Governor Palin.
(h/t to many truth-loving people, too numerous to name, who have been on top of this issue)

Ms. Ross-
I don't know who you are, but I totally LOVE your mentality and clear perspective. Your love of truth (Truth?) makes you an important political commentator and news source. Please, always keep that perspective and try not to get too "pre-opinionated." Truth, really, is the ultimate spiritual reality, as well, and the Spirit of Truth will guide your mind and soul to seek it (as It/He appears to be doing in your case!). Thank you for your diligence!! Evil always appears to be good (on the surface), but it is always, "too good to be true." That is why truth should always be the final determining factor for any decision or action.
For my part, I consider the "left" in this country to be an alliance of evil. Whoever the left and the liberal press hates the most and is most threatened by is most likely the person that represents truth and decency most accurately. So far, Sarah Palin is winning this contest politically!!!
Joy said
You're right, Adrienne – Bozell has nailed this whole dirty episode following a national tragedy: Namely, the Left is on a long-term campaign to delegitimize Conservatives and ALL Conservative leaders who speak so effectively in its defense – and Palin, Rush & Beck are at the top of the heap!!
This is not only the tip of the rotten iceberg that is down & dirty Lib[redacted] politics, it's also only the beginning of an eternal campaign – revved up for 2012, but not stopping there! We'll have this wretched enemy among us for as long as it takes US to delegitimize the sicko Left!!
Palin is wisely keeping silent – and out of the way. When she emerges – in her inimitable fashion – it will be with purpose and with class (as we have come to know & expect no less from "our Sarah!").

Lakers News: Dennis Smith Jr. Believes He Can Help Team If Drafted
Jamie Rhodes-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers Draft News: Josh Jackson's Agent Says 'Too Early' To Tell If L.A. Will Select His Client
Nick Torres
Expected lottery pick, Dennis Smith Jr., participated in a pre-draft workout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. He was joined by Tyler Lydon of Syracause, Matt Thomas of Iowa State, Jeremy Hollowell of Georgia State, Milton Doylae of Loyola, and Wesley Alves Da Silva from Brazil. NBA mock drafts have Smith Jr. being a top-10 pick, but leaning towards the back end, which makes it unlikely for the Lakers, who own the second overall pick, to select him.
Still, the Lakers brought him in just in case the team decides it wants to trade down. That scenario also seems unlikely, but nonetheless Smith Jr. has the potential to be a good player and the Lakers wanted to a closer look at him. In an interview with Mark Medina of the Orange County Register, Smith Jr. spoke about enjoying the group setting as opposed to a private workout:
"You have guys coming out and competing; they want the same thing you want," Smith Jr. said after his workout on Sunday at the Lakers' practice facility. "That's to be against the top get to compete against them. So you get to see who's really a dog."
During his lone season at North Carolina State, he averaged 18.1 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game. He shot an impressive 45.5 percent from the field, including 35.9 percent from behind the arc. He also excelled out of the pick-and-roll, which he said he thinks that is one category he thinks he help the Lakers:
"I checked one of the stats and they're bottom 10 in almost everything relative to pick-and-roll scoring," Smith Jr. said. "I think I can contribute to that."
Again, unless the Lakers decide to trade down in the draft seeing Smith Jr. in a Lakers uniform is unlikely. His play with the Wolfpack and pre-draft workouts should give teams a nice glimpse of the player he could become.
As it stands, it still looks as if the Lakers are deciding between Lonzo Ball, Josh Jackson, or De'Aaron Fox, but whichever team decides to draft Smith may get themselves an impact player.

.: Trail Running Adventures :: Ski XCOttawa.ca :: Skiing in Ottawa and Gatineau Park :.
I was inspired to post an article on trail running after stumbling upon an fasterskier article (http://fasterskier.com/2010/07/run-in-the-off-season-and-youll-fly-in-the-ski-season/) , where XC Ottawa alumni, Ed McCarthy, made some rather interesting but very true points about trail running. Ed stated that, trail running is very specific training for a cross-country skier where your pace and heart rate profile would be similar to ski workout or race. As in, you have to push hard up and over the uphills, maintain your speed/tempo on flats and learn to recover on the downhills. It sounds simple but it makes sense and made me realize why I seem to enjoy it more than road running. I am also far from a natural runner so anything closer to cross country skiing is more my style.
1. - No repetitive pounding on the pavement where injuries can occur.
2. - Can build ankle and knee strength while also improving balance.
3. - Far more can meet the eye. For example, wouldn't you want to run into a bear rather than some old car going down the road – i.e. way more exciting!
4. - Also a mental workout. You have to be totally focus and dialed in to nail that perfect line running down a steep hill.
5. - A workout that can be surprisingly enjoyed in the rain! Epic runs on wet trail in the mud are awesome.
6. - And from my experience running shoes dry way faster than ski boots.
7. - The achievement of over coming a mountain or reaching a remote location in the forest can make training way more fun.
We could all add to the list and its not to say the road running is no good, but for the cross country skier the bottom line is trail running is not only a great ski specific workout but as well very exciting and fun for any level of athlete.
Here a few photos of only a few of my favorite places to run at home during the summer. I hope this is encourages you all to get out and get a little mud on the shoes!
Typical weather for me to choose trail running for a workout.
Running across a section of barren land in Labrador. Sometimes no trail is the best trail.
Log bridges are always fun to cross.
The way trail running shoes are suppose to look like!
The Gatineau park offers a lot of sweet trail running. This one was taken early this spring, where a few XC Ottawa teammates got together with new Carleton ski Coach Chris Mamen for a epic day on the trails. We were a little ambitious and our first run of the year topped out at 2.5hrs and 18km in the mud and rain. All smiles at the end!
Just remember every paved road comes to an end and that's where the real adventure begins!

After joining EIA, Mart set self-regulation of the market as one his key targets. In 2011 the alternative dispute resolution body was established. After that minimum service standards for several business lines have been introduced, unification of terminology completed and consumer financial literacy program launched. The aim of the latter has been to improve the transparency of the market and increase the level of consumer protection and fair competition in the market.
Before joining insurance sector he worked in banking and leasing, holding different positions. During his career, he has also worked as a consultant running change management and corporate restructuring projects.
He has aquired bachelor degree in law in Tartu University and masters degree in public administration in Syracuse University (Fulbright). Due to time constraints he did not finish his PhD journey in business administration in Tartu University.
He is married and the father of three children. During his career he has published numerous articles in the field of social insurance, administrative reform and taxation. In 2010 he was nominated as a nominee for award of supreb journalism.

Орден Труда (, , ) — награда Социалистической Федеративной Республики Югославии. Орден вручался за успехи в трудовой деятельности.

Описание
Орден Труда трёх степеней учреждён Председательством Антифашистского вече Народного освобождения Югославии указом от 1 мая 1945. Указом Президиума и Народного вече Народной Скупщины Федеративной Народной Республики Югославии от 28 ноября 1947 была введена и медаль Труда.

Орденом и медалью награждались личности, рабочие организации и воинские части СФРЮ, которые добились личных успехов в труде и работе особого значения во благо страны и/или государственных трудовых организаций. Над внешним видом ордена трудился скульптор Антун Августинчич.

1 марта 1961 новым законом о награждениях в СФРЮ были введены новые названия: Орден Труда I степени назывался теперь Орденом Труда с Красным знаменем, Орден Труда II степени — Орденом Труда с золотым венком, Орден Труда III степени — Орденом Труда с серебряным венком. До конца 1985 года были награждены 359239 человек, из них 7096 Орденом Труда с Красным знаменем, 36 тысяч — Орденом Труда с золотым венком, 182910  — Орденом Труда с серебряным венком и 133233 — Медалью труда. Полными кавалерами Ордена Труда стали 1546 молодёжных рабочих бригад.

Награда была утверждена в качестве официальной и в Союзной Республике Югославии (а позднее в Союзе Сербии и Черногории) указом от 4 декабря 1998.

In the mid 2000s, the internet saw the slow death of dial up and the emergence of wireless internet. Gone are the days where you would wait five minutes for your dial up to make garbled screeching noises before you could hear "you've got mail!" Never again will we wait ten minutes to load and watch a buffered minute long video attached to an e-mail from a relative that was not as funny as the "HILARIOUS COMMERCIAL" subject line suggested. The days where it was once a necessity to plug a laptop or desktop computer into a modem have surely passed, and formerly fantastical modern alternatives have crept into daily life. Laptops, tablets, and cell phones are and have been Wi-Fi ready for quite some time now.
This capability to connect so efficiently brings massive amounts of news, entertainment, and yes even educational tools directly to the user. Whether you're on a plane forty thousand feet in the sky or underground in the few lucky subway stations with Wi-Fi accessibility, our current availability to resources has become enormous and easily accessible. Educators are bringing these resources directly to their classrooms and reaping the benefits of going beyond the text book and lecture to entice students into enjoying their education on another level. People who are not connected to the academic world can learn what others are learning in the classroom or at least see history in a different light. One of the most utilized internet tools impacting our education today is YouTube.
In 2005, YouTube was launched as a website where user created video content could be shared to the entire world. Amateurs and professionals contribute their content on channels much like television but instead of being run by corporate television networks they control their own content. YouTube has become so popular that people colloquially referred to as "YouTubers" have created careers from sharing content. Today you can find a variety of YouTube videos that range from entertainment to educational. While some videos vary in quality of content depending on editing programs and resources, they all have something to contribute to the internet for the world to watch, grow, and learn from.
One educational program comes from well-known young adult author and YouTuber John Green, and is located on the YouTube channel "Crash Course." The educational videos cover topics such as science education to history education. The flagship program on the channel is crash course American History that is narrated and hosted by John Green himself with the help of historians and media professionals. The videos are typically 12-15 minutes long, and break down complex topics in American History into brief narratives. They are not your typical educational type of lecture captured on camera. Instead they are interactive, colorful narratives chock full of clever quips on American history such as a "'murica" moment where John Green essentially pats America on the back for doing something right rather than the often dark history of our nation's past. Essentially John Green breaks down prior glorified conceptions of the American past and presents them in a more realistic and sometimes even cynical way.
Green and his team prepare primary resources the go beyond the basic "Declaration of Independence" and dive into a more complex social history. The Crash Course video titled "Growth, Cities, and Immigration: Crash Course US History #25," discusses the major theme of immigration into United States cities at the peak of immigration rates. The video uses primary resources such as interactive maps that highlight areas Green discusses. He highlights New York City as "a leading city" in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. In the video he discusses the impact of mass immigration during the industrial revolution and Gilded Age. In one part of the series he must read a primary resource and then guess the author of the resource, if he gets it wrong he must zap himself with a buzzer pen. While not always one hundred percent educational, it still proves to be a comical way to make history more interesting for the general public, rather than students sitting in an undergraduate or graduate course at a university.
YouTube can be educational as well as entertaining in regards to New York City other than just a "Crash Course" video that highlights the city. Educational and travel-based videos of New York exist all over YouTube. One major highlight is the ever popular Greenwich Village. While I have the luxury of regularly seeing culturally important buildings and sites by attending school in Greenwich Village, not everybody has the same convenience. You can read up on the history of Greenwich Village all over the internet to learn where to visit or learn a little bit of history about the area. What YouTube and many other user created content video servers can offer is the chance to have the most realistic view of Greenwich Village without actually stepping foot in New York City. Greenwich Village is rich with history reaching back to the 18th century to contemporary history. It is quite an eclectic community and there is so much to see in such as small part of the city. But, if you cannot physically visit the city you can always take a walking tour on YouTube.
One walking tour from the channel "Jetset Extra" titled "The Big Onion Walking Tour: Greenwich Village" features more traditionally educational and factual content on Greenwich Village. The channel prides itself as, "An online resource for seasoned globetrotters and novice travelers interested in learning more about a variety of destinations and exciting travel opportunities." So while it is not a traditional educational resource, it offers insight into Greenwich Village's history. However, one must use caution with using this as an educational resource and with everything fact check to ensure accuracy. What the video does offer is a visual beyond photos of staple Greenwich Village attractions such as the Centennial Arch in Washington Square Park or the Stonewall Inn, which is often seen as the birthplace of the east coast gay rights movement. There is something for every century and every community in Greenwich Village, as evidenced by the casual tour with video's tour guide, Seth Kamil. The "Big Onion" video is fifteen minutes long and gives a brief glimpse of the long history. Is the video self-promoting in order to relay that Big Onion Walking Tours can be taken in New York City and Greenwich Village? It sure is. But watching the video can give a short insight and visual to the history of the village making it a useful tool to learning history online.
While some videos promote travel and specific tours available in Greenwich Village that people can physically take with tour guides, others on YouTube allow those who are unable to visit to get an experience as if they were there. Tools like YouTube make history more enthralling by bringing it beyond textbooks and lectures. The ability to see images and first person walking tours provides the awareness that history is more than a story. It gives tangibility to culturally and socially significant moments in history, something Greenwich Village has seen a lot of. Beyond Greenwich Village, bringing history out the academic sphere and putting it in a more public setting makes it accessible to a larger demographic of people. Even major companies such as The History Channel have taken to uploading clips that are of educational relevance because of the success of YouTube in general. YouTube can be used as a tool to tell the countless stories of history to everyone in an entertaining style.


Monopoly can be viewed as the opposite of perfect competition. Instead of many firms, there is only one: the monopolist. This has important consequences for both price setting and the quantity produced.
Economies of scale. If there are economies of scale, large-scale advantages, the size of the firm is crucial for average cost. A situation can then arise in which only one firm can recover its costs. This is called a natural monopoly and an example of this is railroads.
Cost advantages. If the monopolist has access to a cheaper way of producing the good, for instance if she has a patent on a cheaper technology, she can push competitors out of the market.
Strategic limitations. The monopolist can create barriers to entry. An example is limit pricing, where the monopolist sets the price so low that it becomes unattractive for competitors to enter.
Political. The government may decide to grant a firm a monopoly in a certain market. A common example is for pharmaceutical goods.
Patents and exclusive rights. If a firm has a patent on a certain good, other firms are shut out during the life span of the patent. It is also possible to have exclusive right to extracting, for instance, oil or metals.
Let us see what this means for a good with linear demand. If the demand curve is a straight line, the MR curve will also be a straight line with the same intercept on the Y-axis as the demand curve. However, it will have a slope with twice the magnitude.
We will use the demand curve QD = 30 - p, or if we solve for p: p = 30 - QD . If the MR curve is to start in the same point and have a slope that is twice as large, its functional form must be MR = 30 - 2*QD. (The constant is the same, 30, and the slope is changed from -1 to -2). In Figure 11.1 the curves are drawn as D and MR. We have also drawn a marginal cost curve, MC (= 2*Q), an average cost curve, ATC, and an average variable cost curve, AVC (= Q), and, in the lower part of the figure, total revenue, TR, and profit, π.
In Figure 11.1, this corresponds to the quantity 7.5, where both MR and MC equal 15. To see that this choice maximizes the profit, think of what would happen if she would produce more than that quantity. If she would produce one more unit, she would get paid MR but also incur a cost of MC. Moreover, since MC > MR, the cost is larger than the revenue and she would reduce profit; similarly if she would reduce the production. The profit at a quantity of 7.5 is, according to the lower diagram, 82.5. The price the monopolist will charge is the one that the consumers, according to the prepared to pay when the total production is 7.5, i.e. 22.50. The corresponding ATC is 11.50. In other words, the monopolist makes 22.50 - 11.50 = 11 per unit sold, totaling to 11*7.5 = 82.5. This corresponds to the grey rectangle in the upper part of the figure. Similarly to the firms in a perfectly competitive market , the price must also be above the average variable cost, AVC. If it is not, it is better to produce nothing at all. In the long run, the firm must also cover its fixed cost, and then the price must be above the average total cost, ATC. In Figure 11.1, we have also indicated where total revenue is maximized. This occurs at the quantity Q = 15 and corresponds to the point in the upper part of the Figure where MR = 0. Note that this point does not maximize the profit. In the example, the firm makes a loss at that quantity.

July 16, 2019 Updated: July 16, 2019
A 23-year-old babysitter has been accused of beating a 2-year-old boy to death at an unlicensed daycare center in Wisconsin which he ran with his wife.
Earlier this month, Kenosha man Hunter Jones was charged with first-degree reckless homicide linked to the death of the toddler, Matthew Bolinski, who was staying at his home.

The boy was beaten up so severely that the color of his eyes changed, and his face and body were left covered in cuts and bruises, reported the Daily Mail.
At the time of the incident on March 27, Jones reportedly told emergency services the toddler had "mental issues" and hit his head when after jumping out of his playpen while having a tantrum.
"I have a toddler that I was babysitting, and he was in a playpen," he told 911 call handlers.
Daycare Worker Intentionally Dropped 11-Month-Old Boy on Head, Officials Say
"This child has some sort of mental issue. He throws tantrums. He threw a tantrum. He jumped out of the playpen and hit his head and stuff like that. He has a history of this; we have messages, you know, like talking to her about it."
The 23-year-old reportedly took four minutes to tell emergency services on the phone that the boy was unresponsive.
"Yeah, well the thing is, he is not responsive right now," he said.
The young boy's mother, Katherine Bolinski, said in an interview with WITI, that her son's death has made her feel as though she is living an "ongoing nightmare."
"I still pretend like he's sleeping in the other room," she told the outlet.
"Now it's just like an ongoing nightmare of waking up, and there are moments where I just wish he could be with me still."

The single mother said on the day of her sons' death, she had dropped Matthew off at Jones' home, and that he "threw a fit like no other fit," when she left him to go to work.
According to the Mail, Jones and his wife had been babysitting at least 12 other children several days leading up to the 2-year-old's death.
"I obviously regret having to do that now, because of the outcome, but that's my last memory of him alive," Bolinski told Fox 6.
The devastated mother told the outlet Matthew's eyes had changed to a lighter color from his fatal injuries.
"His eyes went from a deep blue, to really, really light blue. Bruises all over his face. I lost it. I just couldn't hold it back," she recalled.
A coroner's report found the boy had several neck and head injuries and listed a likely cause of death as asphyxia.
"My son was my life. My life didn't start until I had my son, and now, I feel like I don't even know what's going on," Bolisnki told Fox 6.
Jones is scheduled for an arraignment on Aug. 1.
Wisconsin Babysitter Gives Child Back to Mother Without Mentioning Baby Had Died
In a separate incident, a 29-year-old Wisconsin babysitter accused of killing a 2-month-old boy last fall pleaded not guilty in May after she was charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
Officials said the 2-month-old child died under the care of Marissa Tietsort. They allege that she tried to hide the boy's death by returning him to his mother wrapped in a snowsuit and strapped into a car seat with a hat covering his eyes.
Tietsort pretended the child was alive during a trip of a McDonald's in Wausau. She continued the ruse as she gave the boy back to his mother in October 2018, reported the Wausau Daily Herald, which cited court documents.
The mother, who wasn't identified in reports, told officials that she thought her son was sleeping and took him to a laundromat, ABC News reported, citing a criminal complaint in Teitsort's case.
Later, she realized he wasn't breathing and was cold to the touch. The woman then began administering CPR as her sister called 911, the complaint stated.
Cleveland Mother Says Baby Was 'Lifeless' When She Picked Her Up From Daycare
Tietsort, 28, was charged Jan. 4 with first-degree intentional homicide in the boy's death. Friends and family members attended the hearing, filling the benches of a Marathon County county wearing "Justice for Benton" shirts that included a photo of the baby, the Daily Herald reported.
Judge Jill Falstad ordered her to be held on a $500,000 bond and said she could not have any contact with children under the age of 18 or contact the victim's family.
If convicted, she faces life in prison.

Magnequench, originally founded by General Motors in the mid 1980's, has a long history of serving the automotive industry.
Magnequench actively collaborates with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to design cost-optimized lightweight and compact electric motors. Bonded neo magnets (MQ1™) provide superior magnetic performance relative to conventional (ferrite) magnets and are commonly found in passenger compartment (accessory) motors used in seats, trunk lifts, doors, and windshield wipers, as well as in pumps, fans, and sensors located under the hood of the car.
Magnequench's fully dense hot formed magnets (MQ3™) provide the same performance as sintered NdFeB magnets with zero or minimal heavy rare earth elements. MQ3™ magnets are commonly found in electronic power steering actuators and hybrid electric vehicle traction motors.
In order to serve various design requirements for automotive industry, Magnequench has a highly skilled team of design engineers and research scientists to provide customer support during the initial stages of design and development of concepts and prototypes, hastening the customer's time to market. Some examples where MQ1™ magnets are used to provide superior performance as compared to conventional magnetic materials are shown below.
The automotive market demands increased functionality and comfort in the passenger compartment, which leads to an increase in the numbers of motors needed within the finite space of the passenger compartment. Moreover, while the number of motors and functions proliferates, weight concerns become paramount. Because of these two effects, MQ1™ magnets are the preferred choice due to their ability to make smaller and lighter motors. An example below shows that by designing a motor with MQ1™ magnets, application engineers can achieve a weight reduction of nearly 40% with a size reduction of almost 36%.
For continuous duty applications like a fuel pump, the pump motor is required to withstand prolonged load conditions. MQ1™ magnets can provide crucial performance improvements required for this continuous use. Improvement in fuel pump performance directly results in improved fuel efficiency.
Another example of MQ1™ magnets providing additional value in the automotive industry is trunk lift motors. Magnequench engineers collaborate with tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers to design motors using MQ1™ magnets. These motors demonstrate higher stall torque as well as highly efficient operation in a reduced size envelope.
At Magnequench, we work with magnet users to design novel magnetic solutions and to ensure those solutions are executed and supplied with the highest quality.


Oroantral fistula is an epithelialized communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus, which occurs most commonly as a complication of molar or premolar tooth extraction. There are many techniques to repair oroantral fistula. In this article, we described an alternative technique for the closure of oroantral fistula with the use of nasal septal bone, cartilage, buccal flap, and bone cement.
