Dental Arts Laser Center of Brooklyn
sent it’s owner Dr. Steve Slobodski on a unique trip – his
third. In addition to some fun, Dr. Slobodski helped local Brazilians with
dental care. Full cleanings, exams, x-rays, and in some cases, extractions.
A lot of it was education around basic detail hygiene. Most of patients he
saw – about 80% – were children. See the full report here: http://www.dentalartsbrooklyn.com/brazil-trip-2009.html

Brooklyn is the ‘Caribbean Capital of America’—by some counts, we have the largest Haitian population in the United States—and our hearts go out to our Haitian brothers and sisters in need,” said Borough President Marty Markowitz and Deputy Borough President Yvonne Graham. “Brooklyn and Haiti share the common motto ‘In Unity There is Strength,’ and Brooklynites have been united once again—as we were in 2008 following a series of devastating hurricanes and a tropical storm—in opening up their hearts, wallets and pantries to the victims of this catastrophic earthquake. Our office will be working closely with the Caribbean community in the days ahead to lend support to Brooklyn and New York City-based relief efforts.”

To find out what you can do to help relief efforts in Haiti, call 311 or visit Brooklyn-Usa.org. If you are trying to connect with a loved one in Haiti, call the U.S. State Department hotline at 1-888-407-4747.

How many times we have think that if we knew some important things about a person that we have in love with him or have suggest us to cooperate with him we will not have moving further with him?I believe many..So now we have a site so we can perform an online background check and get a general idea about who that person is.So with this service we can do a check on people records and decide if this person need further attention by us or is better to just ignore him.

Diabetes and diabetic in people in Brooklyn has increased because of genetic factors and lifestyle. The majority of people in Brooklyn are African-American and Hispanic, which have a higher chance of having Type 2 diabetes. Women tend to get the disease more than men. The reason why Type 2 diabetes is so high in Brooklyn is because of the simple fact that people in Brooklyn eat the wrong foods and don’t exercise. Most people tend to eat a lot of fattening foods that are greasy or opt for fast food. Today, we live in a world that is all about fast food, so we don’t get the needed nutrients in our bodies. Exercising is very important as well. People in Brooklyn might not have the means to go the gym, but everyday housework, gardening, walking up and down the stairs is a form of exercise that they can do and its free.Also a Diabetic Diet Plan will help you improve your blood glucose levels but also help keep your weight on track.
So take a look at a Diabetes And Diabetic Diet to help you know better.

People in Brooklyn will be able to be more aware about diabetes if they get the right education. There are a lot of health clinics that offer education for people who may be at risk or already have diabetes. Doctors can also diagnose diabetes in the early stages, so it does not get too out of hand.

Brooklyn, New York July 24 , 2009 – On Monday Southwest Brooklyn’s Uprose will be joined by Borough President Marty Markowitz and local officials to headline a news conference launching their environmental justice tour. As part of the tours, UPROSE will travel in their new, customized hybrid electric bus through Sunset Park, making additional stops at Bay Ridge and Red Hook, to educate residents on strategies for achieving clean air, water, and equitable access to natural resources.

As one of the most diverse areas in New York, Sunset Park bears a disproportionate impact of the City’s environmental and public health problems—it is the site of a sludge treatment plant, dozens of toxic brownfields, a bus depot and various truck routes, which contribute to rising cases of asthma. Its lack of open space, with ¼ of an acre for every 1,000 residents, has contributed to a growing epidemic of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. The overall rate of obesity is up to 25%, which is greater than that of all of NYC, and is highly concentrated among the area’s children.

Since 1964, UPROSE has trained generations of youth leaders in environmental justice to address issues such as land redevelopment and use, alternative energy systems, and climate change adaptation, to develop strategies for sustainable growth. Because of their advocacy, $36 million has been awarded towards environmental remediation to Sunset Park’s waterfront park.

Bay Ridge, all set to stand tall

With the increase in immigrants, the demographics of the Bay Ridge area in Brooklyn is all set to change.

In order to enable smooth standard of living for the native residents and ensure development of city’s infrastructure, the Town Planning Department has proposed new zoning regulations and has made amendments to the new Bay Ridge Community District (BRCD). Finally, it looks like the residents’ wish to see a modern and developed Bay Ridge is turning out to be a reality.

The new zoning regulations will curb haphazard growth of the existing blocks in Bay Ridge and will allow for new blocks to come up. With amendments to the City Development Act proposing to bring to books those violating the zoning regulations, a majority of old timers are heaving a sigh of relief.

A separate colony has also been proposed for the immigrants where permission will be extended to only detachable homes. Hopefully, this ensures retain the character of the residential neighbourhood.

I am overwhelmed at the Mayor’s gesture in granting permission to set up schools to teach native languages of immigrants from various corners of the world. With this, Bay Ridge gets the distinction of becoming the first city in USA to support such a cause.

There are hopes of further improvement to the city with American president Barack Obama recently announcing a slew of development projects in Bay Ridge and neighbouring cities. However, people of Bay Ridge are also worried at the fact the two architectural marvels in their city – Hamilton Fort and the Green Church, may get lost in the ruins with modern structures raising their heads in the city. Let’s hope that the development of Bay Ridge area will do less harm to its old architecture and retain the old charm.
