It took only two weeks for the first 300 game of the season to be shot. Nate Gelling bowled the perfect game on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, in the straightaway league. He started the night with a 237, the 300 and 197 for a 3-game total of 734. He finished with a 192 game for a 4-game total of 926.
On Monday, September 28, 2009, bowling in the Sunset league for the Express Lane team, Kurt Klapan strung 12 strikes in a row for a 300 game. He started the night with a 237 game, followed by a 245 and finished with the perfect game for a 3-game total of 782.
Denton Martinich shot his first career 300 game Wednesday, September 30, 2009, at Star Lanes. He rolled all 12 strikes while pre-bowling for the Scandia Bar team in the Continental League. He started the session with a 190 game, followed by the 300, and finished with a 179 for a 669 series. Since the 300 was a pre-bowled game it will not be sanctioned by USBC. The score will, however, be recognized by the local association.
17-year-old Franky Butori rolled a 300 game in the middle of a 719 set for his first 700 series, which occurred on December 12, 2009.

Електронний проєктор (або автоелектронний мікроскоп,  ) – безлінзовий електронно-оптичний прилад для отримання збільшеного в мільйони разів зображення поверхні твердого тіла. Винайдений в 1936 німецьким фізиком Е. Мюллером.
Його конструкція містить катод у вигляді дротини з точковим емітером на кінці, радіус кривизни якого  м. Анод виготовляється у вигдяді порожнистої сфери, внутрішня поверхня якої покрита шаром люмінофора та металізації. Із колби відкачується повітря (залишковий тиск  мм рт.ст.). Коли на анод подається позитивна напруга в декілька тисяч вольт відносно голкового катода,  напруженість електричного поля поблизу точкового емітера досягає  В/м). Це забезпечує інтенсивну автоелектронну емісію. Емітовані електрони, прискорюючись в радіальних напрямах, бомбардують екран, викликаючи спалахи люмінофора, та створюють на екрані збільшене контрастне зображення поверхні катода, яке відображає її кристалічну структуру. Збільшення електронного проєктора дорівнює відношенню радіусів зовнішньої сфери  до радіуса точкового емітера  (). Роздільна здатність обмежена наявністю тангенціальних складових швидкостей автоелектронів біля кінчика голки та в меншій мірі – дифракцією електронів.

Історія
Мюллер Ервін Вільгельм (13.06.1911-17.05.1977) винайшов у 1936 автоелектронний мікроскоп та показав (1943) обмеження його роздільної здатності. У 1950 він отримав перше детальне зображення молекули, у 1951 винайшов автоіонний мікроскоп, отримавши зображення поверхні емітера за допомогою позитивних іонів водню і досягнув за допомогою іонного проєктора атомарної роздільної здатності. У 1956 він відкрив явище випаровування під дією електричного поля. Добився прямого спостереження на атомарному рівні кристалічної ґратки та її дефектів (1958), можливості безпосередньо підраховувати концентрації вакансій і отримав зображення дефектів структур – смуг ковзання та двійників (1959). Вперше спостерігав (1967) доменні структури при фазових перетвореннях порядок – хаос, отримав зображення біологічних молекул. Створив (1968) іонний проєктор з атомним зондом, здатний ідентифікувати вибраний окремий атом на металічній поверхні.

«Бачу атоми»!
Останнього часу проводяться інтенсивні роботи з покращенню роздільної здатності електронного проєктора в Харківському фізико-технічному інституті (Україна). Група харківських фізиків під керівництвом проф. І. Михайловського використовувала польовий автоелектронний мікроскоп 1936 року ( «електронний проєктор»), який був винайдений в 30-ті роки минулого століття Ервіном Мюллером. Він має скромну роздільну здатність, проте групі вдалося вперше ідеально навести на різкість цей мікроскоп та використати його теоретичну межу роздільної здатності. Таким чином були отримані портрети атомів з небаченим фантастичним збільшенням - в десятки мільйонів разів. Фокус полягає в тому, що роздільна здатність цього мікроскопа у високій мірі залежить від «гостроти» катода. В даному випадку — це одновимірна вуглецева нитка (тобто вертикальна послідовність декількох десятків атомів вуглецю). Один кінець нитки закріплений на катоді, а інший залишається вільним.

Суть методу полягає в тому, що зразок розміщується на підкладці в умовах високого вакууму та низької температури. При цьому навколо електрода створюється електричне поле максимальної напруженості, про яку взагалі може йти мова в рамках фізики твердого тіла.  Під дією напруги останній атом у ланцюгу починав випромінювати електрони на зовнішній екран, покритий фосфором. У результаті вдалося отримати зображення, де видно області знаходження окремих електронів атомного ядра.

Карбонова нитка була отримана в процесі інститутських розробок з виготовлення одновимірних вуглецевих ниток.  Розрахунки показують, що міцність таких ниток перевищує все, що було відомо дотепер. Наприклад, енергія вуглецевого зв'язку в одновимірному ланцюжку виявляється більшою, ніж в алмазі. Це найміцніший зв'язок, який відомий фізикам.  Наша цивілізація зараз активно освоює нанотехнології, а вершиною цього процесу буде використання одноатомних ниток. Це є неначе «скелет» всього майбутнього нановиробництва.

«Підрахунок» електронів
Типовий електронний проєктор являє собою сферичний конденсатор із зовнішнім радіусом, який значно більший за внутрішній (). Найцікавіший граничний випадок, коли внутрішній радіус точкового емітера збігається з радіусом Бора (відмінності радіусів окремих атомів від даного значення тут не суттєві):
м,
де  - характеристична довжина електрона, а  - стала тонкої структури.

Масштаб частоти на масштабі Бора має значення:
,
де  - приведена стала Планка, а кг – маса електрона.

Масштаб струму на масштабі Бора (одноелектронний) має значення:
А,
де  - заряд електрона. Таким чином, внутрішня сфера електронного проєктора обмежує потік електронів. Больше того, вони тут поступають поштучно. Густина струму на внутрішній сфері дорівнює:
 ,
де  - двовимірна густина заряду на сфері Бора.

Густина струму на зовнішній сфері поки невизначена:
,
де  - двовимірна густина заряду на зовнішній сфері. Іншими словами, ми поки що не знаємо заряду  і частоти  на зовнішній сфері електронного проєктора. Значення частоти на зовнішній сфері можна знайти із умови рівності зарядів . Тоді відношення частот дорівнюватиме:
,
де враховане типове значення зовнішнього радіуса м.
Таким чином, частота зміни заряду на зовнішній сфері буде:
,
де  - частота коливань резонатора, утвореного зовнішньою сферою, а  - характеристична частота електрона.
Тепер можна знайти заряд на зовнішній сфері:
.
Враховуючи неперервність струму через сферичний конденсатор:
.
Іншими словами, оцінка частоти на зовнішній сфері виявилась цілком осмисленою і привела до вірного результату. Таким чином, при дослідженні електронних проєкторів з граничним значенням розмірів емітера, необхідно забезпечити велику кількість вільних електронів на зовнішній сфері (більше шістнадцяти порядків) для того, щоб через внутрішню сферу (емітер) проходило тілько по одному електрону.

Досить цікавим є питання про сумарний струм, який протікає через «вакуумний діод» електронного проєктора. Враховуючи дискретність зміни заряду на точковому емітері, електричний струм також буде змінюватися дискретно:
,
де . Вузлові значення напруг на електронному проєкторі дорівнюватимуть:

де В.

Mahathir Mohammad , An Inspirational Leader
Pakistan is very excited about the celebrations of the Resolution Day. 23rd March is of great significance in the history of Pakistan. The declaration of Pakistan was announced on this day in 1940. Every year the event is cherished and celebrated on the national level. The level of excitement has multiplied this year with the announcement of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad to attend the ceremony alongside the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan.
So what do you know about Mr. Mahathir Mohammad? Most of the people especially the youngsters are not well aware of who is Mahathir Mohammad. Our Prime Minister has called him a role model. So before we welcome this prestigious guest at the heart of our home we must know more about the inspiring Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohammad.
Mahathir Mohammad started his political struggle in 1946 by joining United Malays National Organization. He has spent more than 70 years in his political struggle and journey to empower Malaysia. He became Prime Minister of Malaysia at first in 1981 and remained in the office until 2003. In the long tenure at the office as the Prime Minister, he swept all the opponents in the elections five times. The long yet most progressive government of Mahathir Mohammad changed the status of the country significantly.
Unlike most of the other developing countries, Mahathir adopted the alternative approach rather than looking at the western world and western powers for its development. He was highly criticized by the western world. He remained adamant on his policy of making Malaysia self-dependent and developed without adopting the western agenda. He was a very staunch advocate of the development of third world countries and he continued for the struggle of 3rd world countries at national and international levels.
No one knew that a simple boy born in Alor Setar, Kedah in 1925 will change the destiny of Malaysia as a whole. He has received his education in the field of medicine but he was always inclined towards the politics and political affairs of the country. He wanted to make significant differences in the development of the state so he joined politics. The active and progressive mindset of this young man paved his way to becoming the prime minister of the state. He created his own policies and introduced several acts in the parliament. The era of Mahathir Mohammad is known as the Era of development of Malaysia. He initiated mega infrastructure projects in the country and now Malaysia is one of the most favorite tourist places.
The rapid economic bloom of the country raised its status from the 3rd world country to developing and later a developed state. He highly supported modernization which worked as the catalyst in the growth and progress of this small state. Malaysia has experienced the fastest growing economy in his era. The first era of glory and bold leadership was ended in 2003. It was the excellent policies and modernized approach of Mahathir Mohammad which made Malaysia one of the five Asian Tigers.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi succeeded Mahathir Mohammad as the Prime Minister of Malaysia in 2003. Later he lost the elections to Najib Razak in 2015. However, Mahathir Mohammad was not satisfied with their performance and he became a strong critic of the government. He kept a strong eye on each and every development by the later governments. The criticism on them was not centered to the newspapers but the policymaking as well. So he decided to contest the elections again. In May 2018 he won elections to once again become the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan had shown great admiration for Mahathir Mohammad when he secured the place of Prime Minister of Malaysia in 2018. It is the first celebration of 23rd March under the leadership of PM Imran Khan so he has invited the great leader Mahathir Mohammad to become part of the celebration of this historic day for Pakistan.

Help us build our HPV vaccine choice campaign – for you
We reveal our open letter to UK Secretary of State for Public Health, ask you to vote in our poll and ask three questions of your healthcare professional
On the back of last week's piece on HPV vaccine, our executive director, Rob Verkerk PhD, wrote an open letter to the UK Secretary of State for Health, asking for answers to three questions about the HPV vaccine. We believe that the UK government, along with many other governments, has misrepresented the known facts about the safety and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine.
Open letter to UK Secretary of State for Health
We provide the letter as text below (excluding references) or in full as a download.
Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt
Secretary of State for Health

London SW1A 2NS
OPEN LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH
Sent hard copy and also by email to: [email protected]
Dear Secretary of State for Health
RE: POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT MISREPRESENTATION OF RISKS AND BENEFITS OF HPV VACCINE
You will be aware that there are wide ranging concerns about both the safety and anticipated benefits of the HPV vaccine which is particularly aimed at 12- to 13-year-old girls as part of the national immunisation programme.
The recent cases of Emily Ryalls and Katie Green publicised in The Independent and Daily Mail (31 May- and 1 June- respectively) have become beacons for many others who suspect they may be vaccine injured.
On behalf of the Alliance for Natural Health International, which I represent as its executive director and founder, we are deeply concerned that the UK government's position on the HPV vaccine may be misrepresented. Should this be the case, neither parents nor children will be able to give informed consent, either to vaccinate, or not. For your information, we are a UK-based, alliance of public, healthcare professional and commercial interests with a strong interest in freedom of choice in healthcare, as well as being committed to using dietary and lifestyle based approaches to health management as the mainstay of health and wellbeing management.
We respectfully request your answers to the following important three questions:
The Department of Health claims repeatedly that the HPV vaccine programme will "eventually save 400 lives". - Could you please point us to the research from which this calculation was derived, including the assumptions made?
Most of the available data on benefit and safety for HPV vaccines come from clinical trials undertaken for licensing purposes and from post-market pharmacovigilance. However, since the above estimate was published, a new, major epidemiological study of the Australian experience with HPV vaccines (Gardasil) has been published. The study was authored by Dr Elizabeth Crowe et al. and published in the British Medical Journal in March 2014. - The researchers found, in the real world, that the vaccine conferred just "46% protection against histologically confirmed high grade cervical abnormalities and 34% protection against other cervical abnormalities in women who had not started screening before vaccination." We seek your view as to whether there should be an adjustment to the estimate of projected lives that could be saved by the HPV vaccine (point 1 above) given the new findings, as well as an estimate of the time frames involved for such anticipated benefits?
On 31 May 2015, The Independent published a table of adverse event reactions obtained from the MHRA following a freedom of information request, covering the period from 2005 to 2015, viz:
Source: Gallagher, P. "Thousands of teenage girls enduring debilitating illnesses after routine school cancer vaccination," The Independent, 31 May 2015
These findings are considerably at odds with a number of the MHRA's statements in the Public Assessment Report,3 which include: "the nature of suspected ADRs received by the MHRA to date is very much in line with expectations" and "supports the previous conclusion that the benefit/risk balance of Cervarix remains clearly positive".
Based on the data published by The Independent (based on Cervarix prior to September 2012, and Gardasil after this time), along with available data on Gardsasil's safety profile, will the Department of Health adjust its position given that the present one appears misleading to the public?
We have outlined some of our other concerns about misrepresentation of benefits and risks of the HPV vaccine in an article we released on our website earlier this week.
I greatly look forward to your answers at your earliest convenience. We hope that they will help to fill an important information gap that we believe presently prevents the public from making an adequately informed choice about the HPV vaccine.
Robert Verkerk PhD Founder, executive and scientific director Alliance for Natural Health International
Answer our poll on HPV vaccine
Just before publishing this story, we've launched a poll on the HPV vaccine so that we can find out more about your views. It's important that we make sure the politicians we're dealing with understand what health-aware members of the public feel about such controversial issues.
It'll take you just a few seconds to answer our HPV vaccine poll. All you have to do is give the most accurate answer from the 7 choices we've provided. Then please share the poll on social media from the links provided on the poll page. Let's find out what the public really feels!
From the Minister to the Doctor
For those of you visiting a healthcare professional in the coming days and weeks, we urge you to ask three specific questions, make a record of the answers and return them to us by email ([email protected]) with subject line 'HPV professionals.' Please also include the type of health professional (e.g. medical doctor, general practitioner, naturopath, nutritional therapist, herbalist, osteopath, chiropractor, etc.)
The three questions are:
Is the HPV vaccine safe for young girls?
Is the level of adverse reactions to the HPV vaccine on par with other childhood vaccines like MMR?
Is the HPV vaccine effective at reducing cervical cancer rates among vaccinated populations?
All this information helps us to shape our campaign so that it best benefits you, or your children or grandchildren.

1. No,the HPV vaccine is not safe for young girls or boys.
2. The level of adverse reactions to the HPV vaccine is much higher than other childhood vaccines like MMR.
3. From every thing I have read, the HPV vaccine is not effective at reducing cervical cancer rates among vaccinated populations.
Many countries have outlawed it and America should too.
My son received this shot as part of his 10 yr old shot package. He went from a high energy kid to lethargic. He is 14 and his testosterone levels continue to be low as a result of this shot. His doctor didn't tell me all the risks,he just said that it might cause dizziness for a few minutes. He said he had given it to himself and his son. I took the doctor's word for it that it was safe, but will always regret letting my son get this vaccine.

Once Again, MSNBC Invites Prominent Anti-Semite to Explain Why Fellow Anti-Semites Are Bad
What happened? MSNBC did it again. The left-wing network invited Al Sharpton, a notorious anti-Semite, on Morning Joe to explain why his fellow anti-Semites shouldn't be given a public platform.
Seriously? Yes.
Why? Because Al Sharpton supports the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party supports him.
What did he say? Sharpton was asked to discuss reports that former president Donald Trump had dinner with Kanye West, the rap artist whose ongoing mental breakdown has featured several outbursts of virulent anti-Semitism, and Nick Fuentes, the dough-faced 24-year-old incel who spouts anti-Semitism like a toddler making farting noises.
"As a preacher, I can tell you that if you just preach to the choir, if you turn around and there's no one in the audience or in the congregation, you and the choir become irrelevant," Sharpton said. "And I think that that is what [Donald Trump and the Republican Party] are doing. They've emptied out the church, so to speak, because people that really do not want to go that far and be perceived [as] or in fact be bigots, biased, anti-Semites, racists are not gonna continue to allow them to preach to the choir that they think extols this."
The anti-Semite went on to suggest that Republicans who tolerate anti-Semites "must deep down inside have some of that bias and bigotry" within themselves. "Why would you tolerate this unless there is some hidden bias in you?"
Sort of like how MSNBC tolerates Al Sharpton? Indeed.
Context: Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, a former congressman, sponsored a March 2000 resolution condemning Sharpton's "vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith," as well as his "fierce demagoguery [that] incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York." The Crown Heights riots of August 1991 constituted one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in American history.
"Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid," Sharpton said at the funeral of Gavin Cato, the seven-year-old whose accidental death instigated the riots that Sharpton proceeded to inflame. One attendee at the funeral carried a sign that read, "Hitler didn't finish the job."

Interior design can actually be numerous enjoyable when you've got good advice. Use the data shared on this article and you may be well on your strategy to decorating your own home identical to an expert. Keep the following pointers in mind the following time you have got a interior design challenge. As you found above, there are lots of things that it's essential contemplate when planning an interior design venture. With all there's to consider, the key is knowing what there's to plan. At that is left is so that you can get started on your mission, preserving the following pointers in mind.
If your property is a smaller one where a number of the rooms have multiple features, you need to purchase suitable furnishings. Some homes have the eating area and lounge in one house, for instance. So, when searching for items of furniture in this scenario it's best to try and get items that go well with both the eating and living area. As you shop, take both rooms into consideration and buy items that can make a powerful bond between the two areas and create stream.
Make a set. A group of issues is solely 3 or more of one variety. In case you have three vases, that may be a assortment. Three pictures is an instance of a very good collection. Create a show of your new assortment so you might have something to speak to guests about. Wall sconces are an effective way to add lighting to any room, and they should have a focus on the wall that they relate to. You'll want to be careful about their proximity to that focus, although. For instance, if the mirror is the goal, you do not need the sconce to be proper on top of it. The size of the mirror will determine exactly how you dangle the sconces.
At all times get a second opinion! Have you ever purchased a rug or throw pillows that you just thought seemed superb, only to determine in a while they have been a bit cheesy? Exhibiting photographs of things you like to your friends or family members can help you keep away from making purchases you remorse. Everyone has their own tastes, however other perspective can help you discover stuff you might have missed.
Be a design copycat. If you are having trouble coming up with a design thought, look through magazines, catalogs, and on the internet for inspriation. Once you find a design you like, just copy every little thing they've done. Find paint colours, furnishings, and equipment that correspond to the image. This will take the stress out of developing with a brand new design and it guarantees that you're going to end up with a designer look.
An important interior-design tip is not to purchase too much into the hype of current tendencies. Typically people simply should have what another person has, though it prices a fortune. You do not have to spend a lot of your cash just to have a nicely decorated house. It may be troublesome to brighten a basement because you can't presumably think about what you possibly can do in such a darkish and gloomy place. In the event you use some brighter colours and fabrics, you may flip your dark, damp, miserable basement into a spot where you'll want to spend time with your family.
When choosing furniture to put in a small room, search for pieces which have versatility. For example, as an alternative of utilizing chairs or sofas, use ottomans. This makes probably the most out of your small area by serving as a table and as a spot to take a seat. Twin-goal items are all the time great choices. A superb tip when decorating your house is to find something to placed on an empty wall. Your partitions shouldn't be fully naked; use them to at least hold a painting that you simply love. Doing so will give any room a more vibrant really feel.
You can make a photo collage on a wall. Any other features, furnishings and accent items in the room ought to draw consideration or improve the focal point, not compete with it in any means.


They say that you can't choose your family but your friends you do. Even today, we cherish every friend we ever had, especially from the time when we were growing up. Our childhood would be nothing without our friends. All the memories we look back at and smile are all thanks to the times we spent together with our friends. These 6 posters perfectly sum up our childhood friendships and all the moments of joy we shared with our squad.
1. Your friends were not just your friends. They were also your partners in crime.
2. They were there for the good times and the bad.
3. They reprimanded us for our mistakes. But then also took care of us.
4. They were there in the times we needed them the most.
5. They helped us fight our battles, standing strong when we felt weak.
6. And gave our morale that much needed boost when we needed it the most.

Long-defunct Canuck rockers SVEN GALI will be reuniting for The Uncle Sams Reunion Bash on Saturday, August 18th in Thorold, Ontario at a club called the Moose N Goose (formerly Front 54). Sven Gali called Uncle Sams club their second home for many years, getting their start at the legendary rock establishment. Uncle Sams was the premiere rock club back in the '80's and early nineties before closing its doors for good in early 1994.
This one-time only Sven Gali reunion features David Wanless (vocals), Dee Cernile (guitar), Andy Frank (guitar), Rob MacEachern (drummer) and Shawn T.T. Mahar (bass). Sven Gali released two albums via BMG Canada: 1992's Sven Gali and 1995's Inwire.

On Tuesday, February 26th, New Yorkers will vote in the Special Election for New York City Public Advocate. To help voters prepare for the upcoming election, we bring you our 2019 Special Election Voters Directory. The Voters Directory provides a description of each candidate evaluated by Citizens Union's Local Candidates Committee, their responses to Citizens Union's good government questionnaire, and information about the rigorous evaluation process and assessments of candidates.
New York City Special Elections are nonpartisan, meaning you do not need to be registered with a political party to cast a ballot. For more information about the Special Election, visit the NYC Board of Elections website at http://vote.nyc.ny.us or call (866) VOTE-NYC.
CANDIDATE EVALUATION PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS
In this election cycle, Citizens Union has evaluated 11 out of 17 candidates running to fill the Public Advocate's Office after the seat was vacated by Letitia James when she became the state Attorney General in January. Interview teams made up of Local Candidates Committee members assess the candidates based on their responses to CU's questionnaire (a pre-requisite for interviews), research, first-hand knowledge of the candidates, and interviews with the candidates, which are approximately 30 minutes each. The interview teams then make advisory recommendations to the full Local Candidates Committee, which deliberates and makes recommendations to the Citizens Union Board, which makes the final decision. An "Endorsed" rating reflects a candidate that Citizens Union deems not only qualified for the office with a viable candidacy, but also committed to an agenda of positive reform. Please note that candidates not endorsed may nevertheless be highly regarded, which is generally reflected in the commentary. Citizens Union issues a "Preferred" rating in primary elections, and an "Endorsed" rating for Special and General Election contests. A "No Endorsement" rating may result when there is insufficient information available, it is believed that the candidates are of equal merit, or if no candidate interviewed by Citizens Union is believed to be effective or capable of representing the district.
OUR CRITERIA
The following guidelines are used by the Local Candidates Committee and Citizens Union Board of Directors in the evaluation of candidates:
Support for Citizens Union's reform agenda shall be the primary criteria used in deciding its support for a candidate.
Evidence of ability to wage an effective and competitive campaign shall be considered, but shall not be determinative.
Ability to advance CU's goals, if elected, shall be considered, but shall not be determinative. Incumbents will be held accountable for their record of reform in office and shall be judged accordingly on the basis of their demonstrated support for CU's issues.
State, local, or community issues specific to the race's jurisdiction shall be considered, as will candidates' ability to grasp these issues and propose thoughtful solutions to represent their constituents' interests.
Evaluation of the candidates and the decision to support a particular candidate shall be made without regard to political party and in a nonpartisan manner.
OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC ADVOCATE
The Public Advocate essentially serves as a watchdog and as the city's ombudsman. According to the City Charter, the Public Advocate's major responsibilities are to:
Monitor the operation of the city's public information and service complaint programs;
Review complaints of a recurring and multiborough or citywide nature relating to city services and programs and make proposals to improve the city's response to such complaints;
Receive, and investigate and attempt to resolve, individual complaints concerning city services and administrative actions of city agencies; and
Review programs of city agencies, with a focus on the effectiveness of the agencies' public information and complaint procedures and the responsiveness of city agencies to requests for information.
The Public Advocate may conduct hearings, issue reports and make recommendations with regard to the Public Advocate's responsibilities. S/he has the authority to appoint members to various city entities, including the City Planning Commission, and also serves on a number of bodies. The Public Advocate also has a seat on all City Council committees and may introduce legislation but may not vote on Council matters.
In the event the mayor is temporarily unable to perform his/her duties the Public Advocate steps in to perform those duties, and if the Mayor leaves office during his/her term the Public Advocate serves as Mayor the next general election.
Citizens Union Questionnaire 2019 – Public Advocate
All returned questionnaires
Below are descriptions of each candidate Citizens Union interviewed. As a preliminary manner, we note that generally the candidates favored stronger authority for the Public Advocate, including subpoena power, an independent budget, and some kind of role or authority over the Department of Investigations or the city's investigation function. As these views were so frequently expressed, we did not identify those issues in each write-up.
Michael Blake – Citizens Union's Endorsed Candidate
Occupation: NYS Assembly Member, District 79
Education: Northwestern University, BA
Michael Blake is a Democrat running for Public Advocate on the "For The People" line. He has served as state Assembly Member for the 79th District since 2014 and currently serves as a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee. He is also the Chair of the Subcommittee on Mitchell-Lama and is a member of eight other Assembly committees. Prior to his Assembly service, Blake served as Associate Director of Public Engagement and Deputy Associate Director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs in the White House during President Obama's first term. Blake's campaign for Public Advocate focuses on using the office's ombudsman role to hold NYCHA more accountable and preserve and expand affordable housing opportunities in New York City; demand a seat for the Public Advocate on the MTA board; create a Chief Diversity Officer across city agencies to support inclusive business practices; promote criminal justice reform; and uphold the ideals of good governance and transparency in the Public Advocate's office. He says his time spent in the Obama Administration and state Assembly is a unique quality that enables him to balance accountability with finding common ground. Citizens Union believes Blake's thoughtful approach to the root causes of issues and his extensive knowledge of the matters he is focused on will be a valuable asset in the Public Advocate's Office and to the people of New York.

Rafael Espinal
Occupation: NYC Council Member, District 37
Education: Queens College, BA
Rafael L. Espinal, Jr. is a Democrat running for Public Advocate on the "Livable City" line. Espinal is the City Council representing the 37th District and had previously served in the state Assembly. Espinal identifies his legislative accomplishments as including sponsoring the repeal of New York City's Cabaret Law, a prohibition-era law that limited dancing in food- and drink-serving establishments – and which was unevenly enforced in black and queer establishments throughout its history – as well as working to create the NYC Office of Nightlife. As the Chair of the Council's Committee on Consumer Affairs and Business Licensing, Espinal managed the successful adoption of NYC's Paid Sick Leave Law, and more recently advocated for mandatory green roofs and other eco-friendly infrastructure initiatives in the city. Espinal was one of the first Council Members to have his district (East New York) rezoned, which he negotiated with the de Blasio administration as part of the mayor's affordable housing plan. In his campaign for Public Advocate, Espinal has vowed to hold the mayor accountable for any failed initiatives, to continue to fight for climate change and expand the city's green spaces, to advocate for the passage of new labor laws, and to serve as a watchdog for both NYCHA and the MTA and advocate for a seat on the MTA board. Espinal considers the Public Advocate's ability to introduce legislation in the City Council as the office's most important power.

Anthony Herbert
Occupation: President of the NY Multi-Cultural Restaurant & Night Life Chamber of Commerce
Education: George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School
Anthony "Tony" Herbert is a Democrat running for Public Advocate on the "Residents First" line. Herbert was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Public Advocate in 2017 but dropped out before Election Day, and also ran for NYS Assembly in 2012 and 2014. He currently serves as the President, CEO, and Chairman of the Multi-Cultural Restaurant and Nightlife Chamber of Commerce. His political work includes time spent as the Special Assistant to former New York City Council Member Priscilla Wooten, the Special Assistant to former Congressman Edolphus Towns, and the New York Statewide Director of African American Affairs for the state Senate Minority Re-apportionment Task Force. Herbert experienced homelessness in his youth and credits this for why he is prioritizing homelessness and affordable housing concerns in his Public Advocate campaign. Herbert promises to prioritize reducing homelessness in the city, with a particular concern for the mentally ill homeless population (for whom he would provide supportive housing in unused space within city hospitals), and to introduce legislation to mandate use of city businesses in projects where city tax dollars are spent, with a 30% set-aside for minority and women-owned businesses. He will also seek an alternative to the mayor's plan to close and sell Riker's Island, and will work to enhance the city's workforce through increased vocational training for New York high schoolers.

A self-proclaimed socialist, Konst worked closely with Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign and served as Sanders' representative in the DNC's Unity Reform Commission. In her campaign for Public Advocate, Konst reimagines the office as an investigating, anti-corruption watchdog, separating the power of the Public Advocate from politics. She would remove its role as successor to the mayor and bar any elected official from running for the office for five years after her/his term ends. Konst wants to focus on climate change initiatives in the city, to decentralize the structure of the Public Advocate office, to push for a $30 minimum wage for businesses with over 75 employees, to end corporate tax breaks, and increase taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers.
