The AWP is an advocacy group fighting for equal representation, participation, and policy development for women in the Democratic Party.
The All Women's Progress Party is an inclusive and intersectional organization supporting the rights of all women.
We advocate on behalf of women of all sexual orientations, gender representations, religions, socioeconomic levels, ethnicities, and the disability community. The All Women's Progress Party is a platform from which women are empowered to enter public service and to become the female leaders of the future.
The All Women's Progress Party aims for political parity on the local, state and federal level, as we understand that women are directly affected by policies in ways that are not currently addressed in government. We will fight against prejudice and the double standard by which the achievements of women are judged.
We will focus on issues of voter suppression, healthcare, economics, education, criminal justice, gun sense, non-violent conflict resolution, cybersecurity and the environment with a specific emphasis on the impact of existing laws on women in these areas.
Our goal is to formulate innovative policies to address the complex and daunting challenges of the 21st Century and to advocate on behalf of political candidates that align with our progressive priorities.
The All Women's Progress Party believes that we, the 51% of the American population, have it within our means to create a more equitable, sustainable, tolerant and compassionate society.
Maya Contreras is a natural-born storyteller, with decades of experience helping people in the margins.
As a Black and Latina woman who grew up poor with two brothers and a single, well-educated mother, Contreras saw first-hand how the government can help or be harmful early in life, after her mother passed away from breast cancer when she was a teenager. She was sent from her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico to Sarasota, Florida to live with her aunt and uncle, where — with the assistance of social security — she and her brothers were less of a financial burden to their new guardians. Contreras decided to pay it forward immediately, by organizing food and clothing drives while attending the Booker Visual Performing Arts high school.
After finishing college at Florida State University, Contreras moved first to Atlanta — where she organized multiple music festivals for Hands on Atlanta and Amnesty International — and then to New York City. She quickly noticed a startling amount of apathy in politics and participation in her new hometown, so — in the midst of building her career as a playwright, actor, artist, writer, co-host, and artist management associate — Contreras became involved in political organizing. She utilized her skills as a storyteller to convince those around her of the importance of the vote; while also attending community town hall meetings and frequently writing to her city council representatives.
Contreras co-founded AWP because she understands that people can fall through the cracks with or without an education, or even with a full-time job. She understands that what the majority of people are looking for on the margins isn't a handout, but a hand up. She is passionate about helping people acquire the tools to better their situation through education, training, and goal oriented direct action.
Contreras lives with her husband — who is also an artist and writer — in Manhattan.
Bettina WitteVeen is a political activist, philanthropist and conceptual artist based in New York City. Born and raised in Europe, Bettina emigrated to the United States as a student, graduated from Wellesley College with a Bachelor's Degree in American Studies/History with a focus on America's liberation movements. She received extensive economic training as a banker at JP Morgan, New York.
Bettina has a successful twenty-year track record in political activism and building human rights organizations, including an orphanage in Cambodia and a vocational school in Uganda. Her worldwide travels provide her with an international political perspective.
Largely influenced by the German experience of the 20 th Century, Bettina has dedicated her life and work to studying the social dynamics, group psychology, and mechanics of tyranny and war. Her ambitious 2015 photography installation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital, "When We Were Soldiers… once and young," earned widespread critical acclaim for capturing the emotional, physical, and spiritual suffering of war.
Bettina dedicates her philanthropic work in the United States to the memory of those generous Americans who helped her mother and other German children who survived on CARE packages after the war.
Bettina's quest for freedom, truth, and justice inspired her to found the All Women's Progress Party after the 2016 election. Bettina witnessed first-hand how poor the American experience has become for women, and — inspired largely by Alice Paul's now-defunct National Woman's Party, and their methods of peaceful civil disobedience — felt strongly that only women could win the war that had been declared so brazenly against them. She sees the AWP as a vehicle for transformation of the American political and economic landscape, and hopes to bring together other platforms and advocacy groups with the explicit mandate to empower women, to safeguard democratic institutions, and to guarantee the sacrosanctity of all sentient life.
Mia Brett was born on July 5, 1987. Her mother encouraged her political interest from a young age, claiming that Mia sent a letter to Bush in 1989 to ask him not to go to war. Mia's mother, Laurel Brett, had been an activist in the 60s and 70s and taught English and Women's Studies and raised her daughter to think critically and care about social justice. At Barnard, Mia's dedication to women's rights and criminal justice reform were encouraged by the environment at a women's college in New York City. After internships in criminal justice reform Mia went to law school, however after completing one year she left to get a PhD in history specializing in American legal history. During the 2016 election season Mia's interest in politics and social justice returned and she started one of the infamous secret Hillary facebook groups. Mia is currently living in Brooklyn, teaching legal history, finishing her dissertation, and working for the All Women's Progress Party.
Doris Holmes was born and raised in Beaufort, South Carolina, by the late Christopher and Beaulah Holmes. After graduating from Beaufort High School, Doris attended Guthrie Job Corps in Guthrie, Oklahoma, eventually beginning her career at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
She moved to New York in 1989, when she began working as a dental assistant for Dr. Wilfred Heilbut at his midtown office — where she eventually met fellow AWP co-founder Bettina Witteveen. Her interest in social justice comes from her nephew, Rev. Miles Travis Boyd, who erected a scholarship foundation in honor of his mother (and Doris' baby sister) Elizabeth Holmes — and it was conversations with Witteveen at Dr. Heilbut's office that inspired her to join the AWP; a movement she feels is for people of all races, color and creed.
She lives in the South Bronx, and is a faithful member at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.
Aset Asia Chad is a human right's activist and highly trained pediatric nurse. She has volunteered with Human Right's Watch and the organization Memorial. She testified before the Helsinki Commission at the Congress of the United States on war crimes and Human Right's abuses in Chechnya. She was granted political asylum in the USA and became a naturalized American citizen in 2012.
Her experience as a nurse in active combat has deepened her already existing commitment to pacifism and having experienced first-hand the devastations of gun violence, Aset is a proponent for gun sense.
She joins the AWP to contribute her insight into warfare to the organization's commitment to non-violent conflict resolution and nuclear disarmament. As a survivor of warfare, Aset strongly supports coverage for traumatized veterans and their families under the American Health Care Act.

I've forwarded many of these to Hostwinds only to have them tell me they've "contacted the client sending" and yet nothing it done. It is my belief that Hostwinds is part of the spamming themselves! They say on their privacy statement that they have a "Zero Tolerance towards spam" yet when given proven spam from their hosted site they do nothing but "Contact"...that doesn't sound like zero tolerance! My advice is not use this company for anything...giving them personal information is just opening you up to internet abuse!

Nick, if this pill is something that somebody gave you and told you it was "X" when it is really "Y"... DON'T TAKE IT!!! Honestly, Nick, give yourself a break. If it was yours you would know where the pill bottle was and who the prescribing doctor is. I don't mean to be harsh with you but you are messing with medication that can have serious side affects because the previous and most knowledgeable poster told you they didn't know what it was either. The best thing you can do for you and to protect those you love and those around you is to CRUSH IT OR FLUSH IT but definitely DO NOT INGEST IT!!!

The High Hill Left To Climb: When Will The Phillies Contend?
The 2016 season is wrapping up, and as I write now, the Phillies are 68-83, a 73-win pace. It's been five full seasons since the last competitive Phillies team, and as the offseason begins, it's fair to expect improvement of some form or another next season. However, what should expectations be? Should we expect the team use their financial muscle to immediately sign the few large agents this season? Trade the farm for a front-line ace? Stand pat?
Maybe the most effective way to begin answering questions about the future is to step back and take a look at where the team stands right now. Let's say the Phillies do end up winning 73 games this season – that's several games better than their preseason PECOTA projection (69 wins with the worst record in baseball). Personally, I'm not comfortable calling a team a contender until their projections make them likely to at least win a Wild Card spot (somewhere around 86-87 wins). At that point, there's a relative comfort in having 50/50 odds at getting a full playoff series, and the team is one or two unforeseen breakouts away from winning the division. If the Phillies' believe they can construct a series of moves to get themselves, a 73-win team, to about 86 wins, then it would behoove them to make those moves.
However, if the best combination of current moves is either too expensive in cost or doesn't get them across that threshold, then it's more prudent to stand pat, make smaller moves, and focus on the development of young players. Presuming that the Phillies are a 73-win team, their combination of present talent, MLB-ready farm system depth, low-level lottery ticket trade bait, and crucial financial flexibility make the 13-14 win jump difficult, but not completely infeasible. The problem is this: the Phillies haven't really been a 73-win team. Based on the number of runs they've both scored and allowed, the Phillies are actually on pace to be a 63-win team by Pythagorean Winning Percentage. FanGraphs' BaseRuns record reports the same thing.
The team's early season hot streak and relative close game luck have allowed the team to outperform those figures, but if the season was replayed 1000 times with the same fundamental talent, you'd probably see the team win an average of 63 games. Since we're mostly concerned with the actual talent on the roster moving into 2017, that's probably the best figure to use when evaluating potential moves. Unfortunately, 63 wins is a lot fewer than 73 wins, and makes the prospect of hitting that 86-87 win mark much more difficult. Instead of looking for added 13-15 wins, the team is looking for 23-25 added wins. That's the point where attempting to "go for it" is a contrivance of the magnitude of the Padres and White Sox of the last couple seasons.
There are certainly going to be areas of potential internal improvement in 2017. Maybe Aaron Nola will be healthy and perform at a level commensurate with his peripherals, or Jake Thompson and Zach Eflin adjust to the Majors and perform more in line with their scouting reports. Maybe Maikel Franco regains some of his approach at the plate. Maybe Roman Quinn establishes himself as an everyday player in the Majors. Maybe J.P. Crawford and Nick Williams work out of their funks and hit the ground running in Philly. Maybe Jorge Alfaro or Andrew Knapp hit their way to big leagues and Cameron Rupp continues to be a league-average hitter. Maybe Cesar Hernandez continues to be the league-average second baseman that advanced metrics claim he's been. Maybe Aaron Altherr regains some contact ability and shows the same dynamic skill set that he flashed in 2015. Maybe Tommy Joseph can continue hitting home runs at will, or Rhys Hoskins or even Dylan Cozens push the issue and end up in the big leagues.
That paragraph is absolutely obnoxious, but intentionally so – I hit every single spot in the lineup. There's a feasible, if raw, unproven, and tenuous, route for above-average production at every single spot on the field in 2017. The problem is, most of the things I mentioned above won't happen; at least – not all at once. If we strictly look at internal options, probably half of the prospects above won't become average Major Leaguers. There's no chance in hell that five of the six or seven top starting pitching options make it through next season unscathed. Someone's going to regress. Even if the team got very lucky and saw a surprisingly large number improvements occur, they are still a couple of noteworthy moves away from what I would consider contention in 2017. Smaller moves – like a veteran bat, or a buy-low, high-upside pitcher – would be prudent and could be good investments for the team.
I don't mean this maliciously or in an outraged way – it's just where the team is at this point in the rebuild. It is always possible that the team sign a big free agent for the long term, as they will likely have a protected first round pick and keep their farm system intact by doing that – all it'll cost them is money. However, I believe it is more likely that the team experiences a fairly quiet offseason. The Phillies should certainly be expected to improve next season, maybe even by as much as 10 wins. It just shouldn't be surprising if, because of sequencing and luck, they end up in the exact same spot.

In light of the United Nations declaring 2010 as the 'International Year of Biodiversity', we carried out an audit of in situ conservation projects supported by the world zoo and aquarium community. The results of our questionnaire survey show that the 113 evaluated projects are helping to improve the conservation status of high-profile threatened species and habitats in biodiversity-rich regions of the world. Our results show that thanks to the investment made by zoos and aquariums, particularly financial, these projects reached overall impact scores of a magnitude suggestive of an appreciable contribution to global biodiversity conservation. The present first global appraisal of the contribution of the world zoo and aquarium community to in situ conservation from a supported project's perspective thus suggests that zoos and aquariums are on track for 'Building a Future for Wildlife', as stipulated in the revised World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy of 2005. However, zoos and aquariums could make an even stronger contribution by allocating more resources to in situ conservation, which – as our results show – would significantly increase the projects' conservation impact. Increased pooling of resources among zoological institutions thus appears to be advisable.

text: Looking back, many people reminisce childhood memories such as playing after school, climbing on the jungle gym, dressing up or taking part in sports. Mine wasn't quite like that. Three words I would use to describe my childhood would be birds, books, and tomboy, all of which you'll get a more detailed glimpse of later. After all of the wacky and weird phases I've been through, I wouldn't change a thing. You can probably guess the cliche saying I would use, but my past has molded me into a nature lover, an idea generator, both a wandering and a wondering soul, and a story teller. That's what I hope to share with you: my story, my thoughts, and how I see the world. The Crossley-Eyed way.


text: I've recently been applying for summer internships. I'll have a few months free after uni finishes in late May, so I thought I'd make the most of it. I've had three rejections this week, but today I received a acceptance letter! Woohoo! It's not finalised, but if I get this right I'll be a trainee with the photographic staff of the Daily Mail from mid-June to mid-September. Apparently they have a fair few applicants, and they'll judge on the basis of a project that I have to complete before the end of next week. I need to supply pictures of 'people who don't fit in' in my local area. I'm not quite sure what this means, but they recommend it be on the basis of accent, or the type of work they do, or something like that. Shouldn't be too hard. Once this is complete their photoshop experts will get to work, and who knows – I might even make the paper! Most chuffed.

How to set up a remote desktop
Desktop computers aren't just antiquated behemoths quietly gathering dust in your parents' house. They also offer an often overlooked processing resource for mobile users and a viable alternative to cloud-based storage. All you need is a means of accessing it remotely.
For three of the most common consumer operating systems - Windows , Mac, and Chrome - the initial setup process is essentially the same: setup the admin program on the "local" computer (the one you'll be using ), setup a client program on the "remote" computer (the one you'll be accessing), then create a network connection (likely over the internet) between the two. However each OS has its own install wrinkles. Here are the first steps for a Windows system.
Windows uses a baked-in remote access program known as Remote Desktop Connection and, so long as you have two computers with Windows (or at least a Mac running the WinRDC client) and an internet connection, you'll be able to access the programs, files, and network resources from one on the other.
Before you get started, however, make sure you have login access to both systems (and if your user account doesn't have a password, you'll need to add one before the system will allow a remote connection). Also, if you're trying to access a remote PC with a local Mac, first download and install WinRDC from the Mac App Store.

If you wish to be proud of your home, you ought to make sure that it's free of problems that can cause discomfort and inconveniences to you. When you'd make your place well-maintained or improved, you would not only have a spot that you could be proud of but literally have peace of mind knowing that you've got a place where you could reside in without worrying about anything.
It would be practically useless for you to be where you won't be able to sleep well and can't go about your personal business at ease. If you have a house that's unkempt and is problematic in other ways, you may want to make some improvements or repairs so that you could again have the confidence in the place that you bought.
For your reputation, you ought to also consider this since at any time you may be visited by your neighbors, friends, relatives, colleagues and even your boss and you want to have a home that's presentable to look at and literally welcoming to people.
For some maintenance tips and suggestions on home improvement that you may want to take into consideration so that you'd have peace of mind and be proud of where you live, please keep on reading under.
Have you noticed that the water in your home isn't that clean or that you're not getting as much water as you want to have indoors? Are some of your drains not functioning as intended? For your plumbing issues, it is important that you call up a Tulsa plumber.
You could do some research to find out some of the simplest plumbing techniques but you have to understand that plumbing tools aren't as cheap as some other things for repairing and improving the home and they also need to be used by those who are experienced. Aside from that, plumbers are well-versed about the different sizes and types of pipes that are available so it would be best for you to literally employ one.
If you're planning on getting one, it is vital that you contact a company that provides plumbers to its customers and also guarantees to clients so that you would have a group that would be liable for the plumbing jobs done to your home later on.
Cleanliness is something that you should bear in mind when it comes to comfort and safety. Organization of things is as important as sanitation as well.
If you've noticed that your home isn't currently as clean and uncluttered as you want it to be then you ought to do some tidying up. if possible, you ought to have the things that you consider as waste taken out of your home and properly disposed.
You should already have a plan on which items you'd get rid of and keep before making some changes to your home so that you would be systematic when it comes to your cleaning and also avoid throwing out things that are actually important to you.
If you're simply too busy to even consider lifting up a broom or doing some simple wiping tasks then you should hire a couple of professional cleaners as well. If you've got the budget to employ some then you definitely should, considering that they're more often than not ready with the right equipment for sanitizing a home.

For those who use current technology and smart devices, you would not have your iPhone, Siri, GPS, Android phones, tablets or Email/Internet if it wasn't for government spending. In the medical field, this includes advanced prosthetics, the Humane Genome Project, HIV/AIDs treatments, and MRI scanners.
You can only generate so much funds or incentive for the public or private sector because of the amount of funding, personal interest, or economic risk.
Source for Technologies: http://www.industryweek.com...
Sources (For people who like cited information)
http://thinkprogress.org...) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com...) This is avoidable and cost inefficient, compared to the funding that would go towards universities towards developing technology. Not once in my arguments were the mention of decreasing military spending, but to reallocate spending within the military (which includes R&D and cost effective purchases) which make better use of the tax payers dollars.
"If the people of America want to put more money towards technological advancement, then they will do so with a company that specializes in making new technology for the benefits of the people. "
As economics and history have proven, this is ineffective because the public does not have enough financial backing or outspoken public interest for a company to begin doing so except as a side project or for profit. A great example is the pharmaceutical industry. Despite public outcry and it actually being better for the business reputation, such revolution must be forced or beneficial to those contributing the funds. There is no greater incentive for the U.S. Government to invest in advancing technology because the military demos and gets it first and the rest will follow. This includes politicians having their hands on the final product to manipulate and price via economics and politics.
"Assuming the government was in dire need of technological advancement (which it is not) then they would levy taxes for it."
As said before, there are already enough funds in the military budget for this contracts, the problem lays with price gouging and which technologies to prioritize. Not to mention, the current tread and priority of our government is clean energy and energy sustainability: is this not a dire issue in need of technological advancement? Many politicians and citizens would agree that it is. (http://www.pennenergy.com...)
"You also mention some of that money for school, but it is not money that schools need, it's a better education system."
Which also costs money. Even in public education, reform has been ineffective or has been to costly to implement (http://www.myajc.com...). Military contracts do no have to be limited to universities, as proving funding for those children to have engineering and otherwise technologically supporting skill sets would encourage youths to go to college and be properly educated, which leads to more college students, which in turn results in more qualified professionals that the country can use to speed up development. There are also many benefits in being a veteran and non-combat positions in the military for those who are educated well. So in turn, contributing to technological advancement would also increase job opportunities as there would be more of a demand for highly educated professionals in both the military, public, and private sector. Demand for engineers has been high, while demand has been low, and this actually does provide an incentive across the board to fill that void (http://www.diversitycareers.com...).
And finally, funding towards universities can be in many forms. Contracts were one of my core points, but this also includes grants (http://www.collegegrant.net...), contests (https://www.challenge.gov...), and most importantly STEM programs (http://www.ed.gov...). These solutions already exists and there is time and less reform needed to implement these. Although my original debate uses the contracts as a sure way to finance innovative technological advancements, the issue is not so black and white. Just because funding by the military is being utilized in a difference sense does not mean we are lessening protection or taking money away from the budget. Price gouging plays a large role in our military budget and by being smarter with our spending will not only protect our troops with superior and higher quality equipment, but also possibly increase technology related job demands and potentially benefit our economy as a whole.
"Even in public education, reform has been ineffective or has been too costly to implement"
Which was what I meant by common core. Assuming you gave more money to the schools, how long would it actually take to implement these new reforms to educate people for these technology related jobs, and how many people would lose their jobs because they no longer qualify? I understand that you have good intentions for America, but think of what happens when technology advances to the point where it has weapons that could destroy entire countries. Of course, America would be the only country to have it and all the other nations would live in fear of America. Humans live on the intent to screw each other over, and who's to say this new technology might not be used for crime In the USA? Over the course of time, technology has led to the simplification of life. Today, we are very dependent on things like antibiotics, phones (911 purposes & contact), and the computer. Advancing technology will make life simpler, and humans will become more dependent on technology, which in the future, might lead to lowering the creativity and innovation of the people (As proven with calculators making math simpler) But most of all, who's to say what that money will actually do, and whether or not real progress will be made. Along with that, on the assumption that you want to "Better the lives" of the general public, healthcare will get better, and you know what that means, more children. America can only support so much people, and crops do not grow instantly with technology or without.

PA - SNAP To Pittsburgh Bishop: Victims Deserve Equal Time
For immediate release:
Friday, March 5, 2004
For more information:
David Clohessy 314 566 9790
Barbara Blaine 312 399 4747
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), an independent support group for clergy sexual abuse survivors, today sent a letter to Pittsburgh Roman Catholic Bishop Donald Wuerl urging him to provide SNAP free, full-page advertising space in the Diocesan newspaper, The Pittsburgh Catholic. The purpose of the ad is to inform clergy abuse survivors that they are not alone in their pain and that there is help and independent support available.
This request comes on the heels of Wuerl's purchase and production of a half-hour television commercial which aired last night at 7:30pm on KDKA TV2 (CBS). Wuerl, who hosted the commercial, discussed the clergy abuse crisis with a prominent church defense lawyer. SNAP calls the program "one-sided, shameless public relations" and criticized Wuerl for not including any victims on the show.
"Wuerl has proven he is capable of spending lots of money in the court of public opinion to discuss the clergy abuse crisis. As shepherd of the Pittsburgh flock, he sent a terrible message last night that clergy-abuse survivors are unworthy of being heard, and that everything in hunkey-dorey," said David Clohessy of St. Louis, SNAP's national director, "Such one-sided 'spin-control' commercials run counter to the message and teaching of Jesus."
"Wuerl should have used the thousands spent on this commercial on preventing future abuse," said Barbara Blaine of Chicago, SNAP's president. "If Wuerl sincerely wants to help abuse survivors, he will have no problem providing space in his paper to educate victims about our support group and the help we can provide."
A copy of SNAP's letter sent to Bishop Wuerl is below.
March 5, 2004
Most Reverend Donald W. Wuerl
Diocese of Pittsburgh
111 Boulevard of the Allies
Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Dear Bishop Wuerl:
We the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) are deeply troubled that you would take the time, energy and effort to pay for and produce a half-hour television commercial on the clergy sexual abuse crisis.
Many survivors have struggled for years to have their voices heard by church leaders but were ignored. Survivors asked for help from bishops but were refused. Survivors seeking justice and healing were met with strong-arm legal tactics. Yet, you spent thousands of parishioners' donated dollars for a one-sided prime-time, self-serving TV ad. The money would have been better spent, of course, on abuse prevention. This sends a terrible message to clergy abuse survivors. And, adding insult to injury, not a single survivor participated in the program.
Further, we at SNAP are concerned that the program will discourage and intimidate clergy abuse survivors who have yet to come forward. It is unacceptable for you to talk about this crisis and fail to mention that there is independent help and support for survivors.
As a matter of justice, and to help provide wounded men and women with independent support, we are therefore asking that you provide a free full-page advertising space for SNAP in upcoming editions of the Pittsburgh Catholic. It is crucial that survivors of clergy abuse in the Diocese of Pittsburgh know they are not alone and that there is confidential peer support available.
You have proven you are not afraid to spend thousands to influence the court of public. Now, please show that you care about abuse victims who remain trapped in silence, shame and self-blame. Help them find help.
It should be no problem to provide this free ad space to SNAP. Further, allowing equal time to clergy abuse survivors would go a long way in showing the Pittsburgh community your sincerity in trying to provide healing to clergy abuse survivors.
Finally, we urge you in the future to spend less time on "spin control" and more time working with survivors, mental health professionals and law enforcement officials to insure that child molestation at the hands of clergy happens less often.
We look forward to your prompt response.

Before you purchase a memory foam mattress, do your research. It is essential to select the best value item from a responsible company that prides itself on bothquality and customer service. Following all, you will be investing a third of everydayon the sleeping surface you select.
Right here are some essential details to think about before you make your choice:
- The mattress you select ought to be made of top-quality supplies. Look for a minimum of a five-to-ten LB density in item descriptions. This high-density polyurethane materials, developed by NASA for use by astronauts, offers a greater "custom-fit" than other, low-density foam mattresses, and you can rely on it for lasting resiliency.
- Never settle for a low-grade imported foam item. While the cost may be lower, the supplies in these mattresses don't hold up over time, and they have most likely been stacked in a warehouse someplace for perhaps months, gathering dust, dirt and bacteria. The best producers in the United States custom-make and deliver memory foam mattresses on the customer-by-customer basis.
- Look for a minimum of a high-density base layer and a top comfort layer. Some higher-end models have multiple layers, but is not always the situation. The high-density foam offers your mattress the support and longevity you'll need, while the comfort layer offers the "cuddle-every-curve" feeling that offers the greatest in rest. Combined, you obtain a combination of softness, support and sturdiness for years to come.
- Select a hypoallergenic alternative to spring bedsthat is resistant to dust mites. Many people who think they have no allergic reactions are really delicate to the detritus that their mattresses accumulate over time. These sensitivities can seriously interfere with sleep even although many sleepers themselves do not understand it and labels it as "bad Sleep". What they do understand is that once the potential allergens are gone, they sleep much more soundly.
- Select a mattress that is bacteria-resistant and includes a washable zip-off cover or mattress protector to assure that your sleeping surface is refreshing and hygienic. A buildup of bacteria can lead to odors that don't make for a pleasant sleeping environment.
- It may appear logical to try out a memory foam mattress in a retail store, but there is just no way a couple of minutes of lying on any mattress can provide you with an accurate concept of what it will feel like to sleep on it for a complete night. The best way to find the proper mattress for you is to test drive it in the comfort of your own bedroom. Many online companies provide money back guarantees, permitting you receive more familiar with the advantages of memory foam in the comfort & privacy of your own bedroom…and with no sales rep hovering over you waiting for your slightest indication of a purchasing sign.
- It takes most people a number of weeks to adjust to a new mattress, and the company you select to make your mattress ought to understand that and provide you a comfort guarantee that enables you to sleep on the mattress for up to 90 days, and to return it if you are not happy.
There is no doubt that memory foam mattresses are hugely well-liked, and with great reason. Many purchasers report sleeping well for your first time in their lives. Follow the recommendations right here, and you too will select the right memory foam mattress for you and start to appreciate all of the benefits that this sleep system delivers.

Dear Parents,
I trust everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. It is always a great time to catch up with family and friends. We have some exciting news to share within this email. Thanks to all the efforts from students, parents, teachers and especially Mrs. Hast, we won the "What's not to like?" grant from Merrimack County Savings Bank. Thanks to you, DES will have two water fountains with water bottle filling stations installed. They will be similar to the following units: water bottle filling station. We can't wait!
During our most recent professional development day on November 23rd, we worked on competencies. At this point, we have completed all of our competencies (reading, writing,and math) and are now going through the process of cross walking our programs with our competencies. As an example, we sat down with our enVisionmath 2.0 program and ensured that it would align with our competencies. I can assure you it all does. To document all of this, a google sheet was created with a tab for each grade level. Each grade level then listed the competencies and then labelled where in the program the competency is addressed. The teachers did some great work through this process.
Competencies are a facet of the local (school level) curriculum. Within each subject a set of competencies is created. The goal is that a student would be "competent" with his or her understanding of the competency. As an example,this is one of our K-2 math competencies: I can represent whole number quantities in multiple ways (words, symbols, expressions, equations, etc.). Based on this competency, we are able to gauge a student's success in learning the concept as well as whether or not the teacher needs to find a different way to teach the competency. More importantly, it is so much more informative than a simple letter grade. Even more important, it creates a greater level of understanding for a student about his or her own learning. Instead of "doing the work" to boost a grade, a student will work harder towards learning. It is a powerful tool.
We are far from done, but we made some wonderful headway. Our next step is to finish this process for writing and reading. From there, we will need to identify and/or create performance tasks. Performance tasks are activities that show a student is "competent" in their learning. The beauty of enVisionmath 2.0 is many if not all of the performance tasks are already created. The same can be said for Lucy Calkins Writing. We will need to create some for reading, but that will not be a problem. The next step is to move into creating a report card that identifies that competencies have been met. The trick to this is creating a report card that is useful for parents, students and teachers. When we get closer to this point, I will be reaching out for parent input. Again, this is a long ways out, but I just wanted to keep you aware of the process.
The annual PTO Holiday Shop is starting on Monday, December 5th and will be running until Tuesday, December 13th. Your child(ren) should have received an envelope he or she can use to bring cash to school for the Holiday Shop. The PTO is still looking for volunteers to run the Shop. If you are interested in volunteering, you can sign up by contacting the volunteer coordinator at email@example.com .
The DES Student Council is continuing to do great work. Their latest project is to hold a holiday toy drive for children in need. If you are interested in having your child participate, he or she can donate a new toy on December 13th. On the 14th the DES Student Council will deliver the toys to the Dunbarton Food Pantry. This is a great opportunity to help those in need in your own backyard.
We are heading into the holiday season, which can be a challenging time for many. If your child is experiencing any stressors that you feel could be impacted by school or could manifest at school, please feel free to contact us. We want to make sure we are always helping your child to put his or her best foot forward.
As we are moving further into December, I wanted to remind you that colder weather is setting in. Please make sure your children are wearing warm clothes for recess so they are comfortable and safe while out at recess. We have outdoor recess as long as the "realfeel" temperature is 20 degrees fahrenheit or below. If it is below 20, we will have an indoor recess for that day. Along with cold weather comes an overflowing lost and found box. If your child loses his or her gloves/mittens and/or hat, chances are they will be in the lost and found box. The lost and found can be found in the community center at the drop off entrance.
There has been a rash of sickness as of late, especially the stomach bug and significant upper respiratory symptoms. I would encourage you and your children to practice frequent hand washing to combat this as it is certainly not a pleasant experience. Please practice caution and call your child in sick if you suspect an illness. Please call us at 774-3181 to report their absence, and remember to report symptoms in your message if there is a fever over 100 with cough and sore throat. You may also choose to report your child's absence through the Pickup Patrol.
The Annual Dunbarton Holiday Concert is this Sunday, December 4, at 4 pm, at the Dunbarton Congregational Church. Tickets are available at the door. There are 20 Dunbarton students involved in the concert this year, which features Danny Van Kalken (Mr. VK) on piano.This is always a great opportunity to get in the "holiday spirit" and it is a good opportunity to see our talented students in action!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child's teacher or any of us in the office.

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has rubbished reports she acted like a diva on the set of Justin Timberlake's new music video.
The Lost In Translation star teamed up with Timberlake for his new music video What Goes Around… Comes Around, but the event has been dogged by speculation the actress behaved like a diva throughout.
Johansson was said to have thrown a strop when she wasn't allowed to smoke on set, and allegedly said, "How come we have fire dancers, but I can't smoke?"
Eating in front of her was also reportedly banned, with her bodyguard telling crew members to go somewhere else if they were going to eat.
However, Johansson's publicist Marcel Pariseau has blasted the claims, reports the New York Daily News.
"Scarlett is always respectful of other people and never made this statement. Also, Scarlett doesn't have a bodyguard," he says.

An estimated 5,900 children in England and Wales are living on as little as £1 a day because Europe's open borders and an influx of economic migrants from further afield has allowed parents to travel to the United Kingdom without due care and consideration over how they would support their families upon arrival.
The children of poor migrants suffer "severe poverty and hunger" reports The Independent, with a number of migrant parents giving birth in the UK after their arrival despite their destitution, so their children hold British passports despite all else.
Many of those worst affected are economic migrants who are waiting for the Home Office to make a judgement on their immigration cases. During this period they are forbidden from working or receiving government benefit, but having arrived without savings are forced to subside on charity and hand-outs.
Although some have called for the government to subsidise new arrivals, which in some cases could run to three years of government support for families, a spokesman for the Home Office replied that support was already available from local authorities rather than the central government:
"We welcome those who wish to make a life in the UK with their family, work hard and make a contribution. But family life must not be established here at the taxpayer's expense.
"We work closely with local authorities to ensure that immigration decisions in cases receiving local authority support are made as quickly as possible."
"In exceptional circumstances, or where people granted leave on family grounds show that they would otherwise be destitute, they are granted recourse to public funds".
According to the Independent report, many families affected are from Nigeria and Jamaica, giving the example of one young mother who had been abandoned by the British-citizen father of her child. She was, according to migrant charity RAMFEL feeding herself and her two children on £5 a week, having chosen to remain in the UK after turning down the opportunity to return to Jamaica, the country of her birth, with her mother.

Welcome, Willa. Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from?
I'm a recent transplant from the mid-Atlantic to the Texas HillA nice southern gal. What components, in your opinion, make a great story?
Country northwest of San Antonio, but I was born in North Carolina and grew up in Florida.
Great writing is first and foremost required for me to think a story is great. I can tolerate some holes in the plot if the writing is really good. But I also have to care about the main characters, otherwise, no amount of excellent story elements will keep me turning pages.How would you generally categorize the books/stories you write?
I grew up reading science fiction and fantasy and enjoyed stories with psi talents (telepathy, teleportation, etc.), so I like to explore them in my writing. That usually puts me in the paranormal category.Sounds like you'll be busy for a while. How much of your writing is based on people or events familiar to you?
Highland Healer is a Scottish historical with a paranormal twist. It won the Washington Romance Writer's Marlene award in the paranormal category in 2011 (as Warrior). It's the first of my Highland Talents series. Each book in that series will explore a different psi talent. The second book's heroine is a seer, the third's is a soothsayer.
My contemporary romance (still under construction) won the 2012 San Antonio Romance Authors Merritt contest's paranormal category. I'm also plotting out a science fiction romance series where psi talents will play a role, and I've started what I think will become a romantic suspense novel, so I'm going to try to do that one without psi talents.
My villains are based on a couple of former bosses. Other than that, not a lot. My imagination usually gets free rein. Of course, my subconscious could be combining elements of people I know into the characters I come up with.I like your idea for villains. What inspired you to write Highland Healer?
I wanted to do a book that was part real, part fantasy. Scottish historical romances come in a wide variety of types. Some stick fairly closely to the historical record, while some delve deeply into Celtic myth and legend with little or no regard to actual history. I liked the flexibility the genre offered and once I finally found a time period that suited my purposes, I got to work.How did you come up with the title?
I worked with my editor. My working title was Warrior, but it didn't suit the finished book. We wanted something short that would be visible in a thumbnail picture on a website, but that also conveyed the essence of the book. As much as I love Toran (and what a great cover!), it really is Aileana's story.What was the hardest part of the story to write?
Every writer struggles with the middle of the book. You usually know where you're starting and where you want to end up. But building the conflict along with the romance while you're getting to know your characters is a challenge. What disasters can you throw at them that fit the time, the place, the mood of the book? Who are these people and how can you show the parts of their personality, history, and actions that make them unique? And how will each individual deal with the challenges you make them face?What was the easiest part of the story to write?
For me, it's often the beginning. I see a 'still' picture and start to describe what I see, then stop and think about who the people are and what's going on. From there, I build the plot as I build an outline. Highland Healer started out with the opening scene pictured in my mind, but I was still a pantzer, so it took a long time to write. I finished the second book much more quickly after I learned the value of plotting - doing an outline, even a synopsis - before getting too far into the book.Was there much research involved?
Tons! The hardest part was deciding on when in Scotland's history to set the story, then to find out more about life in that time. Both a blessing and a curse, not much highland history has survived. So I had a lot of freedom to write the story the way I wanted to.Is there a message in your story you want readers to grasp?
The message of this book is trust - in each other, of course, but also in yourself and in your abilities. It's a lesson both Toran and Aileana have to learn.When you first started writing, did anything about the writing process surprise you?
How important revisions are. Most of my first draft is very rough and focuses on the action that moves the plot forward. It only forms the scaffolding for the elements that give a story life and depth - sensory details (hearing, scents, tastes, touch, and sight), more sexual tension, more relationship building, etc. Some writers go way over their word count and have to trim, trim, trim. But my first draft tends to be spare, and I go back several times to layer in all of that. In addition, despite having outlined the book, as I go along I often think of scenes the story needs and add those, too.Do you celebrate when you finish a story, and if so, how?
Oh yes. I like any excuse for a celebration. Finishing a book is a really good one. It usually involves dinner out, or dinner in - and champagne.A little champagne never hurts. What do you like least about writing?
Sitting, sitting, sitting. I need to make more of an effort to get up and move.Before you do, give us a mini-tour of your writing space.
My desk is in my library where I keep all of the science fiction and fantasy books I've collected practically since I could read. And of course, there are shelves and more shelves of romance in all sorts of genres. I have a filing cabinet and a comfy reading chair across from the desk. The walls are covered by brass rubbings I did in England (one is of Robert the Bruce), a poster I got at the Bodleian Library in Oxford of a JRR Tolkien drawing of Bilbo Baggins and the Raft Elves, my contest win certificates, my book cover, and most important, a framed triple counted-cross stitch of the state flowers of FL, TX and MD, a gift made by a long-time friend of mine.Which authors do you feel have influenced your writing most?
I get my sense of atmosphere and mood from Arthur C. Clarke. Some of the attitude that comes across in my contemporary writing is very Robert Heinlein. Those were early influences that have stuck with me. Lately, my MD critique group gets the credit for teaching me to be a plotter more than a pantzer, so I can actually accomplish my writing goals.Name a few titles I'd find if I browsed through your personal home library.
Anything and everything by Clarke, Heinlein, Asimov, Bradley, McCaffrey, and just about any other scifi author you could name. Then add Catherine Asaro and Linnea Sinclair to bridge the gap between scifi and romance. And of course, romance authors such as Rebecca York, Nora Roberts, Roxanne St.Claire, Cherry Adair, to name but a few, plus several authors who write Scottish historicals, including Donna Grant, Monica McCarty, Karen Marie Moning, and of course, Diana Gabaldon.Have any new authors caught your interest?
Sharon Lynn Fisher's Ghost Planet really grabbed me - it's an unusual story and she carries it off beautifully.Who supports your writing activities most?
Besides my MD critique group, my husband does. He's always telling someone about my writing, and he's a very social person, so the word is getting around in places I'd never expect.I suspect he's quite proud of you, Willa. And now, let's take a peek at Highland Healer.
He needs her for his clan. He wants her for himself. Can he have both?
Toran Lathan never expected to become Laird, and never expected to meet a woman like Aileana Shaw. Her healing ability is just what his people need, but Toran cannot resist her beauty. Yet will loving him destroy her ability to heal?
Aileana Shaw has a healing touch – and a special talent she must keep secret. Stolen from her home by a marauding army, she's kidnapped again by the Highland Laird she heals. Is she a prize of war, or the prize of his heart?
While Toran battles the invading lowland army, he also battles his desire for Aileana. And Aileana must decide if she can trust her secrets to this fierce warrior who needs her talent, but wants her love.
Despite his threats a few moments before, she had sensed no real animosity in him. She'd been treated well since arriving at the Aerie. Her dream of a home, with people who cared about her, perhaps a family of her own, rose unbidden to her mind, and with it came a familiar lump in her throat. She was tired, she thought, to let that longing overwhelm her now. She folded her arms under her breasts and kept her eyes on the flames. She heard Toran move from the door to stand behind her. She tensed as his hands came to rest on her shoulders. He turned her gently, but irresistibly, to face him.
"What should I do with so beautiful, so valuable, a prize?" he murmured, almost to himself.
His deep blue gaze ensnared Aileana as completely as his hands. She knew she should be outraged at being called a prize. He'd done it before, on the way here. Did he truly see her that way? She refused to be chattel any longer, she told herself, and would not allow him to treat her so. But she found she could not summon her ire. One of his hands left her shoulder and he lightly touched her cheek, then slowly slid his fingers down her throat to her collarbone. There, he hesitated, and Aileana held her breath until he moved the hand back to her shoulder.
His simple touch sent shivers dancing and nearly undid her.
* * * * *About Willa Blair:
Willa Blair is the award-winning author of Highland Healer, her debut novel, the first in a series set in the 16th century Highlands, when the old ways, and old talents, still shaped events. She always wished she had several psi talents, such as reading her husband's mind, cleaning house by simply thinking about it, and flying. But alas, no. So she endows her characters with special talents and lives vicariously through them. She loves reading and writing romance novels set in the past, present and future.
