Our Platform
2018 Platform
Democratic Party of Washington County
Approved at the March 14, 2018 Special Meeting of the Central Committee
Updated at the April 23, 2018 Meeting of the Central Committee
We, the members of the Democratic Party of Washington County, recognize the unique moment we find ourselves in. Creating a more equal and sustainable society now, and for generations to come is our highest aspiration. We commit to creating that society in which there is opportunity for everyone.
We recognize that so much of our happiness and privilege today is a result of the suffering and subjection of others. We condemn the long legacy of racial, religious, and other ethnic prejudice, subjugation, segregation, and exploitation of communities of color that is still too prevalent. We aim to correct this historical wrong with empathy and understanding. We aim to counteract the institutions that perpetuate those many forms of hate and discrimination today with affirmative action in support of liberty and justice for all.
We recognize that the inherent dignity and inalienable rights possessed by all member of humanity is the foundation of our shared freedom, of justice and of peace in the world. We recognize our rights and responsibilities to each other, as residents of our local, state, national and global communities.
As Washington County Democrats we promise to uphold these values in the face of opposition, and we will work tirelessly to carry them into law. This platform is a guide to the principles and positions of our party; we welcome all who share them to join us in our struggle for progress and democracy.
Article I: Ensuring Our Human Rights
Washington County Democrats believe all persons have a right to adequate food, secure housing, quality health care, clean air and water, equal opportunity to vote, freedom from servitude, freedom of movement, quality education, personal security, the opportunity to succeed, marriage to whomever they love, and death with dignity. We believe in the right of all individuals to be treated with dignity and respect.

- We believe GLBTQIANB rights are human rights.
- We believe Washington County and its cities must provide universal access to public services for their residents.

- We affirm the right of all persons to self-determination with regard to gender identity and sex, and to be free from coercion and involuntary assignment of gender or sex

Article II: Economic Justice and Stability
Washington County Democrats value a fair and stable economy where everyone has the opportunity to a good life. We hold that all workers deserve a living wage and the right to unionize, and that taxation and social spending should ensure greater equality. We believe taxation and revenue policies should reflect the economic needs and conditions of our region and should be governed by the principles of transparency, fairness, and efficiency. Actions to reduce taxes paid must consider potential impacts on education and social services.

- We support equal pay for equal work and oppose wage inequalities.

Washington County Democrats believe that healthcare is a human right and should be available to all those who need it. We believe in a single-payer program. We believe that modern medical advancements related to disease prevention and treatment of pathologies, including holistic treatments, must be available to all people regardless of ability to pay.
- We support the adoption of a publicly funded, equitable, high-quality, comprehensive single-payer health care system that includes general, preventative, and emergency care plus vision, dental, hearing, and mental health services at the state and/or federal level.

We recognize that quality education increases our economic well-being, promotes civic engagement, enriches personal lives, and is necessary to adapt to technological progress. Public schools provide the skills and knowledge that are the foundation of a thriving democracy.

- We insist that education and career training at public schools, colleges, and universities be tuition-free for all Oregon residents.

- We affirm the right of everyone in our diverse populations to pursue academic and career education from pre-kindergarten through post-secondary studies.
- We support restoration of a full range of courses, programs, and services including civics, art, music, science, literacy, physical education, early childhood education, counseling, health, mental health counseling, tutoring, libraries, technology, financial awareness, critical thinking, vocational, and public alternative-educational opportunities.
- We insist on the full, effective protection of all student data, including mental health records, to assure information privacy and prevent exploitation.
- We believe that school curricula must be relevant, factual, and promote critical thinking skills.
- We believe that school lunch and breakfast programs should be restored to their former thresholds for school participation.

Article V: A Just System
Washington County Democrats believe that we need a justice system that equitably serves all. We recognize that failures of the system have been used historically to systematically oppress Native Americans, communities of color, economically disadvantaged populations, immigrants, women, incarcerated populations, people with varying disabilities, and people with varying gender and sexual orientations. We insist that our prisons must be primarily focused on rehabilitation.
- We oppose racial profiling, prosecutorial overcharging, coercive plea bargains, biased jury selection, and sentencing practices that disproportionately impact ethnic groups and the disadvantaged.
- There shall be no profit from criminal incarceration; jails and prisons should not be privatized.

- We believe that all law enforcement personnel should receive de-escalation training.
- We defend every individual's right to freedom from mass surveillance, search, seizure and arrest, unless authorized by a specific probable cause warrant.
- We believe rehabilitation of offenders works best when offenders are reintegrated into the community with support, supervision, and services, and we support the use of a restorative justice model.
- We are opposed to excessive fee and bond post levels.
- We oppose laws that can be used for profiling, including those that mandate people carry their legal papers.
- Al inmates shall receive the same quality of healthcare as the public.
Article VI: Restoring Governmental Integrity
Washington County Democrats demand an open and responsive government and elections that are fair, transparent and publicly supported. Every citizen deserves full, meaningful and accountable representation at every level of government. We hold the right and responsibility of all eligible persons to vote as an essential foundation of our democracy. We are committed to transparency, accountability, oversight, integrity, competence, honesty, and citizen participation in government.
- We believe that corporations are not people and money is not speech.
- We affirm the principle of separation of church and state.
- Publicly funded election campaigns must be a key element of American democracy at all levels.
- We support all Americans having the right to a direct vote for President and Vice President of the United States of America through the National Popular Vote. We support the one person, one vote principle in all elections.
- We support an effort to expand automatic voter registration to the national level.

Article VII: Refuge and Sanctuary
Washington County Democrats believe that Oregon is a mosaic of different cultures, and we value the economic, social, and cultural benefits to society from various immigrant groups. We will reject xenophobic scare tactics, religious tests, and ethnically disparaging racial rhetoric. Both documented and undocumented residents have civil rights that we defend.
- We believe undocumented immigrants who have not been convicted of serious crimes should have a path to legal residency, and eventual citizenship.
- We defend the DREAMers who signed up for personal advancement under the DACA program and believe they have a right to a pathway to citizenship.
- We support Oregon's sanctuary state status that limits local and state law enforcement in their assistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- The exploitation of undocumented workers must stop, because it is ethically wrong, drives down wages, and degrades working conditions for workers.
- Immigration assistance services should not be privatized or operated for profit.

We recognize that long-term land use planning, sustainable infrastructure, and wise protection of our natural resources are critical for sustainability and livability in Washington County.

- We believe public lands are a common resource that provides many benefits to individuals, society and the environment.

Ups, downs and what to do about a friend who's depressed
I have been through some ups and downs the past week. Sometimes I just don't know what's gotten into me. It's like my hormones have gone crazy and my brain and body are deciding it would be fun to join them on the trampoline. It's really not fun. I try my best not to bring those closest to me into it, but unfortunately there is sometimes some collateral damage. It also makes me very tired.
When I was in high school I had some crazy highs and lows, but as I've gotten older I've learned mostly how to deal with them. I know if I exercise, eat healthy, keep a balance of work and play, connect with my family and friends, take time to think and organize myself, take time for myself, and use some sort of creative outlet, I can control the ups and downs to a degree. My friends and family would say I am tame compared to the intensity of my teenage years and early twenties. So now I just feel a little sad and tired here and there, or a little manic. I'm okay with that, though. I've learned to laugh about it (or cry a little) and do things on the above list to kick myself out of it. It makes me appreciate all ranges in the spectrum of emotion. I think it's also something many creative people live with. Those intense emotions help force us into a creative release.
I went to a piloxing class today (cross between boxing and pilates – new to Toronto, class information here from greenfitness.ca) that my friend ran and it made me fell great. All those endorphins released certainly does help pick me up. And I had a delicious, healthy dinner. Everything is coming into perspective again and I'm happy my ups and downs are mellowing out.
How can I help my friend?
"Major depression can occur in 10 to 25 per cent of women — almost twice as many as men. Many hormonal factors may contribute to the increased rate of depression in women — particularly during times such as menstrual cycle changes, pregnancy and postpartum, miscarriage, pre-menopause, and menopause." – Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
A couple of days ago I was speaking to a friend and co-worker of mine about depression. We are both concerned another friend of ours is depressed and we don't know what to do to help her. I've tried to give her advice about finding something to do that she enjoys and isn't drinking and partying (which she does a lot of right now), but she just gives me that look that anything she tries is futile. She pretends like she's fine, but then will say something about being depressed and not being able to get out of bed in the morning and I worry. It's been going on for months now and it doesn't seem to change. I don't think this is something a few veggies and a run will help.
I looked up some websites about depression and I will try to follow their advice (depressionhurts.ca, Canadian Mental Health Association, to name a couple). But I'm also turning to you out there in the blogger abyss. I'm sure many of you have dealt with depression in either yourself or someone you loved. How did you handle it? What can I do to help my friend?

I just read Leviticus again. As usual, I come away shaking my head. For those looking for what is wrong with religion, Leviticus provides plenty of ammunition.
Of course, like much of the Old Testament, it is a strange mixture of beauty and truth, barbarisms and legalisms. When I read it, my reaction is gratitude that we have been delivered from that.
We Christians are notorious for plucking sentences out of strange texts like Leviticus and presenting them as some sort of proof for an opinion we have reached entirely independently of the text. And we'll engage in complex intellectual gymnastics to try to excuse or make sense of the rest of it.
But our model should be Jesus.
Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.
You have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth." But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
…both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.
Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.
I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
And there are other parallels I could list as well. The bottom line for me is that we must not put on blinders–we have to see these levitical texts for what they are. And for those who follow Jesus, they can only have religious significance if seen through the lens of Christ.

The Supplementary Vote system
The Supplementary Vote System was used for the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner election. Voters were asked to select their first and second preferences.
If no candidate gains 50 per cent plus one of the first preference votes, the two candidates with the highest number of first preference votes go forward to a second round of counting.
In the second round of counting, ballots with a first preference for a candidate that did not get into the top two will be reallocated according to the second preference indicated in the ballot paper. Whichever of the top two candidates has the most votes after these second-preferences have been allocated is declared the winner.
For more information on the election, please see the Electoral Commission's media handbook.

Author: Lindsey Kelk
Series: None
Publisher: Harper Collins
Source: Review copy
Publication Date: 7th May 2015
Maddie Fraser has never been anything other than the girl in the background: golden boy Dan's little sister, crazy Shona's minion, workaholic Sebastian's ex and now she's also the girl in the middle of her warring best friends.
Lauren has announced she's getting married – just as Sarah's husband asks her for a divorce. Nothing in Maddie's career in event organising has prepared her for this particular combo of planning and real pain. The news that her ex is also tying the knot is the final straw. While the magazines say she should be leaning in, all she wants to do is sleep in. But whether she likes it or not, everything is about to change for Maddie. For better or worse, this grown-up bridesmaid is taking centre stage…
I'm never not in the mood for Lindsey Kelk. When I heard that she had a new book coming out I was so excited. Lindsey's books always make you feel good and I've had so many inappropriate tube-cackles thanks to this book. Always the Bridesmaid is as fabulous as the I Heart series and About a Girl. I loved it so much. It's one of those books that you could read again and again and never get bored of it.
Kelk has created such likeable and relatable characters once again. Maddie is just a normal woman and I found myself nodding along to so many of her disasters. I felt like Always the Bridesmaid was a little more slapstick than Kelk's usual work, but this didn't take away from the story. I feel like this could be an amazing Rom-Com film. It's one of those books that you can see unfolding before you as clearly as if you were watching it. I was so sucked into the lives of Maddie, Lauren and Sarah that I really didn't want to leave it.
If you love your books with plenty of feel-good vibes, a huge dose of humour with a slapstick edge, I'd definitely say pick this book up. It's guaranteed to make you laugh out loud on many occasions. Always the Bridesmaid is the perfect pick-me-up and I can't recommend it enough!

Approaches to Addiction
- Created by: GEEKGIRL98
- Created on: 01-11-15 08:45
Biological Approach
- Reward pathway- drives feelings of motivation and behaviour
- Memory tells you a behviour will make you feel good- brain tells body to initiate it
- Connects to parts of brain which control memory and behaviour- increases likelihood that you will repeat the behaviour
- Experience of withdrawal symptoms can cause a person to carry on with their addictive behviour (gambling)
- The body develops a tolerance to the dopamine released, so more is needed to make the person feel good- cause maintenance of smoking
- Behaviour is continued to avoid negative withdrawal and to give pleasure sensation
- Relapse occurs because there is a loss of the pleasure levels and so the individual does the behaviour again to avoid withdrawal symptoms
1 of 3
Learning Approach
- Social learning theory- initiation occurs because people observe their role models (e.g. peers, parents, celebrities) and imitate their behaviour, This effect is sped up if the role model is seen to gain positive consequences as a result of the behaviour
- Cue reactivity theory- CC- stimuli (e.g. lighter, betting shop) become associated with the positive feelings which come as a result of the behaviour
- OC- addictive behviour is reinforced by peer acceptance, psychological and physiological rewards- makes a person want to repeat the behaviour
- Cue reactivity theory- the person is presented with the stimuli and anticipates the pleasure associated with it. This causes them to relapse as they experience physiological responses
- OC- the person relapses in order to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms- negative reinforcement
2 of 3
Cognitive Approach
- Initiation occurs because the person thinks that the behaviour/ substace is the only way that they can deal with the problems they are facing (self medication)
- May be to treat a psycholical disorder which has not been diagnosed/treated
- Expectancy- initiation occurs if the person believes that the behaviour has positive outcomes
- Self-efficacy- may know that behaviour is dangerous but believe that they can control behaviour and any problems
- Coping- individual may believe that the behaviour relieves stress/boredom- more likely to continue
- Expectancy- addict believes giving up will be difficult-more likely to maintain behaviour to avoid withdrawal symptoms
- Self-efficacy- must believe that they are capable of giving up- addiction will be maintained if not
- Coping- addiction may resurface if individual is experiencing very unpleasant withdrawal symptoms- feel that they need the substance/behaviour to deal with them
- Expectancy- addict must expect that abstaining from behaviour will be more beneficial than returning to it- relapse will occur if not
- Self-efficacy- struggles with withdrawal symptoms may make someone feel unable to continue, so they relapse

Having already been with Singapore's premier interior design company here at Rezt ' Relax for 5 years, Alex has set the standards for his fellow designers quite high. Twelve months was all he needed to get promoted to senior level.
To stay in touch with what's in, he keeps reading magazines like Ideal Home, Furniture Hunter, Key To Your Home, Home & Decor, Expat Living and Homestyle. But for him, design naturally follows from the client's ideas. Their ideas form the base of the design concept.
Obviously, Alex gets high satisfaction being able to do what he has always loved. But above all else, a simple "thank you" from his clients is all he needs to be motivated to keep doing what he does best.
Light is the magical ingredient that makes or breaks a space; it's one of the most important elements in all my interiors.

Customer Testimonials
I am writing to gladly express our satisfaction over the results and pleasant services by Alex and Carrick during the time of our unit's renovation.
Working with Alex and Carrick was a great delight and very easy from the beginning to the end. They were patient, cooperative and adaptive to review and change the designs to our liking. We are also impressed with the consistency and tiredless efforts they have put in regardless of office hours and timings.
We have now happily settled in to the unit and are undoubtedly pleased to recommend Rezt n Relax and Alex & Carrick team to friends and contacts who may be looking for some renovation works.
Wishing everyone at Rezt n Relax a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, all the best wishes for another great year in 2017.
-Clemens & Hartaty Maswi
It has been over a year since our renovation was completed in late 2014. I will like to thank our IDs Leonard and Alex for their professionalism and exemplary work. I am also thankful for their patience in walking us through the whole renovation process as I have absolutely no experience in home renovation. Also they were meticulous at project management to ensure that we get to move in on-time.
Alex showed great care at inspecting the quality of work of the sub-contractors, and also was on-site frequently to monitor the renovation and gave us timely updates on the progress. It gave us great peace of mind to have Alex look after our property during the renovation period. His can-do spirit and trustworthiness makes him a great asset for any company.
Engaging Rezt & Relax Interior has made the whole renovation process stress-free for me, and we are satisfied with the service and abilities of both Leonard and Alex.
-Loh Wei
I write this testimonial today to highlight the exceptional experience that we received while working with Alex and Jeremy.
From start to finish, Alex and Jeremy were extremely professional and helpful, incorporating our ideas and materialising it to create the best possible home renovation experience imaginable. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the process, from initial discussion right up to handover. When we had queries, they would respond quickly and without delay.
This entire process culminated in a home that looks absolutely stunning, reflecting the contrast of my preferred industrial theme and the beautiful theme of the house. Words cannot express our satisfaction with the finished home. The quality of work is impeccable with each detail completed with utmost quality.
I further recommend them to whoever is interested in renovating their home as they will be assured of a good experience and utmost professionalism.
-Ralph Peterson
I would like to take this opportunity to compliment Alex and Jeremy for the great experience and result in renovating our home.
From the beginning stage of design, Alex and Jeremy have patiently and professionally guide us in putting our idea into detail design. Through many obstacles, they have shown their deep knowledge of technical and great ideas to come up with satisfactory solutions within limited time and resources. When we need to consult them on some ideas or changes, they provided quick and sincere responses. We are really satisfied with their work and the way they handle my renovation project.
We highly recommend Alex and Jeremy to whoever's interested in doing renovation to their home in the future.
-Jorja & Cyndy
Congratulations on making our renovation journey so smooth sailing and memorable. We have finally taken over our unit from Alex on 15 March this week. Shortlisting Rezt & Relax was the right decision to take as we were searching high and low for the ID that not only suit our budget and style, most importantly, we got a personalize ID who went the extra mile to help in every aspect he can and that definitely surpass our expectations.
Journey started when we saw Rezt & Relax brochure in our letterbox…prior to receiving this, we have seen x number of IDs and non fitted our requirements. We were looking for the X-factor and I guess in desperate situation, a signal came. Our friends who stayed at Bedok Residences strongly recommended R&R since the showflats were done by your company. We decided to give R&R chance. It was the right move as we met Alex in Dec 2015 where we confirmed his service already during our 2nd visit. His genuine passion to serve and make our home truly unique and cozy touched us.
Throughout the renovation journey, Alex had been responsive every time we WatsApp him. Even when he left Singapore for his vacation before Chinese New Year, he never failed to inform us that respond maybe delayed. After CNY, we had a tough time looking for the right furniture to the house. At the sofa shop, we just tried our luck and called Alex if he was able to come down and help us choose the right one. Alex turned up in 30min time and under his recommendation, we found our perfect sofa and coffee table. Couple of weeks later, we got stuck at Furniture Mall with our dining table option and Alex gladly came by and helped us once again with the right selection.
The house had been beautifully done up with the right colors, feature walls (especially the stucco wall and partition won many praises from our visitors) and furniture. We are pleased to say that Alex had certainly do R&R proud with his dedication and commitment to provide such high quality of service to his customers. We hope to see more such sincere and passionate ID in the industry as not everything is just about costs. Interior design is about building a world uniquely for their customers where they can truly call home and Alex had definitely live up to that.
A big thank you to R&R for wonderful worksmanship and sending an angel to us to help deliver a beautiful home to us. To Alex, thank you for being there with us in the last 3 months… you have became more of a friend to us and we hope you will continue to thrive and shine in this industry.

I am a Harry Potter fan, and I have always loved the plucky protagonist Hermione Granger. (I know, Harry was the main character, but Hermione was still the leading lady of the story). This week I became an even bigger fan of the woman behind Hermione, Emma Watson, a lovely and talented young woman who went a bit outside of her comfort zone to address the United Nations about feminism. Watson made a statement in her speech that feminism has become tied to the notion of man bashing. She spoke of the unpopularity of the word feminism. She was making the point that feminism has become a bad word in our society, one that conjures thoughts of angry, hostile, bitchy women ranting uncontrollably about the horrible lives women are forced to lead at the hands of controlling men. She wants us to disassociate feminism with "man-hating," and I couldn't agree more. I wrote in my debut blog post that while I consider myself a strong supporter of all things woman-centric, I am not a man hater. I AM a hater of when men try to force their views on women, and thereby try to force their control over women's bodies, wages, and freedoms. But in my experience, it is only a small portion of the male population who truly believe they know better than women, and push to keep control over us dim witted, scary creatures with body parts they don't understand. These men are complete douche bags, no doubt, but it is not because they are men. It is because they think that by being men they are more qualified to make decisions about, well, everything. My body. My method of birth control. My sex life. My career options. My salary. My health care coverage. My medical maintenance. My education. My clothing choices. My voice. My hairstyle. My right not to be raped. These are the same men who then threatened Emma Watson with retribution because she spoke her mind, her smart mind, in support of women. They threatened to hack naked pictures of her and release them to the public. Seriously. This is their response. My God – it is exasperating!
And so the association of feminism and man-bashing has been perpetuated by some, and these two ideas might seem intimately and unbreakably bonded, since most of the people fighting against equality for women are men. Idiotic men, no less, who think the best way to deal with an intelligent woman sharing her very valid opinions about women is to expose her naked body to public scrutiny. But I assert that there are a plethora of amazing men out there fighting for women, and they are the men we should pay attention to. Not these dingbats who go straight to objectifying women. For every ignorant man who tries to assert his dominance over the domain of women, there are many men who fight for equality for their daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and friends. Men who support the dreams and ambitions of their daughters and wives no matter what they are. Men who are advocates for their ailing mothers, when they have few options for quality health care. Men who help their daughters grow up secure in the knowledge that they are strong, they are powerful, they are smart, and they are in control of their own lives. It is these men we should give airtime to in the media. It is these men who reaffirm my love of men.
I warned you in my first blog post that I would wax poetic about the fabulous men in my life. Well…ready or not, here it comes!
Men. I love men. I have always been a bit boy crazy. I was a daddy's girl as a child, and just adored my dad. He was everything a dad should be, and everything a man should be, in my humble opinion. He was not a particularly good student, and he grew up antagonized by the local kids because he was Italian. But he was plucky! He was smart. He taught himself how to play guitar from the age of thirteen, and then he became a rock star, making his living playing music. This only lasted until he was about 27, when his kidney (the one functioning kidney he was born with), failed and he had to go on dialysis, which in the sixties was nothing like it is today. He had to go every other day and sit hooked up to the dialysis machine for six hours at a time. He was exhausted. But still, he provided for his family. Eventually he got a transplant, one of the first in Rochester in the late sixties, and several years later I was born. He worked as a jingle writer for an ad agency, worked as a talent agent, and eventually opened his first business, The Outrageous Inn, Rochester NY's first comedy club. I got to spend many afternoons (and sometimes evenings) hanging out at the club with my dad. It was radical. On Wednesday nights The Ugly Boogie Band played blues, and my dad would join in. My parents were divorced by then, and Wednesday nights were my nights with my dad. He let me stay at the club and watch him jam with the band. It was bliss. I was thirteen, and I was in heaven.
Beyond the cool factor of having a dad who 1) had been a professional guitar player in a band that actually had records out, 2) ran a comedy/blues club and let me hang out there, and 3) took me fishing on our Sunday afternoons together and taught me how to bait my own hook from a very young age, my father was, above all else, a kind, gentle, and generous man. He never raised his voice. He never struck out at me or my mom, or anyone else. He was a nurturer, a provider, and a giver, and strong and determined to provide for his family. He never, ever discouraged me from trying something I wanted to try. He encouraged me to be myself no matter what the consequences, and to always believe in my ability to succeed. He told me I was smart and could be anything I wanted to be. Every dance recital, band performance, or play I was in, he was there with roses, telling me I was fantastic, even though I think he secretly was hoping I wouldn't follow in his footsteps and try to make a living in the business of show. When I was 19 I sat at his bedside in the hospital while he died, and reflected on his recent plea to me that I should go to school. He always said, "Everything else can wait. Get an education. Nobody can take that away from you." I truly believe my choice to pursue a PhD was heavily influenced by that plea, from a man I loved, respected, and trusted. He didn't order me to go to school. He didn't tell me I would be stupid if I did not go to school. He simply shared with me his regret that he did not go to college, and told me he didn't want to see me pass up the opportunity to get a degree. It was sage advice and I am glad I took it!
In addition to my dad, his father, my papa Joe, was the same kind of gentle and kind soul. He had been an athlete who went to Ithaca College on a baseball scholarship. He was in the military. He was a physical education teacher. By all accounts, he was a tough guy. Yeah, he was tough. But that didn't matter. He was soft spoken and wise. He was an avid reader. He spoke to me as an equal. He would tell me stories for hours, never too busy to engage me in a conversation about any topic I was interested in. He taught me how to swing a golf club. He let me drive his big old station wagon around the parking lot of their apartment complex when I was just a girl and curious about driving. When I was a baby he visited my mom and I every day. It didn't matter to him that I was a girl. So I didn't think it mattered that I was a girl. Neither of these men, my dad or my papa, ever made me feel as if being a girl was anything less than kick ass. They were amazing. They shaped my expectations of what a good man is.
Enter my husband in the spring of 1998. We start dating in graduate school at UCLA and immediately I realize that he is very similar to my dad and my papa – he is gentle, and kind, and never obnoxiously macho. He is smart. He is a hard worker. He is supportive of me. Sixteen years later he is still all of these things, and has also become my biggest fan in this little writing endeavor of mine. I have no doubt he will impart all of this fabulousness, these true characteristics of a real man, onto our sons, and they will be kind, gentle, supportive men because of it.
I also have no doubt my father, my papa, and my husband would have kicked the shit out of anyone threatening me if that situation had ever presented itself. But I never really learned that men should be considered tough, violent, or controlling because I did not witness that. I grew up secure in the knowledge that real men support women. Real men are kind. Real men believe that women are just as capable as they are, just as smart as they are, and can do unbelievable things if given the chance. Real men don't threaten women who speak their minds. Real men are good men. Real men are feminists. Yup. Real. Men. Are. Feminists. BOOM!
Feminism is not a bad word. It is not a dirty word. It is not a word that implies man hating. Feminism is all about equality for women. And any man worth his salt supports equality for women. Men, if you have daughters, don't you want to promote equality for them? Show them what real men are like so they settle for nothing less.
Look around, ladies. Pay attention to the good men in your lives. It's raining men, GOOD men, and I say – HALLELUJAH!

In a recent profile in The New Yorker, the Austrian director Michael Haneke mentioned that he's used Costa-Gavras's Z, along with Air Force One, Battleship Potemkin, and Triumph of the Will, to show students how movies, tapping to a range of ideological beats, use sound and editing to drill home their arguments. I like the politics of Z more, he said, but the manner is all the same. Forty years after its release, Z, which was based on the novel by Vassilis Vassilikos, is still a mesmerizing political thriller that plunks spectators into a vortex of mass protests and systemic corruption. Inspired by the May 22, 1963, assassination of Gregoris Lambrakis, a Greek social democrat, the film (which was shot in Algeria) examines a botched attempt, organized by a junta and its minions, to suppress a political rally sponsored by anti-nationalist, anti-militarist sympathizers. With its zippy camerawork, bumping soundtrack, and comedic dress-down of the powers that be — the blokes at the low end of the hierarchy belong to an organization named CROC (Christian Royalist Organization Against Communism), the film is activist in its approach to getting the audience on board with its program. Is this a bad thing? No, if one approaches the movie as a satire that is under no obligation to be evenhanded in its presentation of opposing viewpoints; yes, if one is looking for a detached, analytic film that's not as bullheaded as a pundit on the make.

Broken, misted, or damaged double glazed windows?
Broken, misted, or damaged double glazed windows?
If your double glazed windows and doors become problematic you probably don't need to replace the whole unit.
RPS Locks and Glazing can usually change the glass and the moving parts of the window, saving you both time and money.
We Mend Misted Windows & Doors, Poole, Dorset
A common problem with double glazing is that windows and doors become misted, due to trapped condensation in the cavity between the two sheets of glass. The moisture cannot be wiped clean as it is inaccessible, meaning you can't see through your windows and doors properly.
If the rest of your double glazing is in good condition we can simply replace the misted unit(s). This will not only improve the appearance, it means greater energy efficiency and lower bills.
I mend broken, damaged, and misted double glazed windows and doors in Poole, Bournemouth, Colehill, Corfe Mullen, Christchurch, Ferndown, Fordingbridge, Ringwood, Verwood, Alderholt, West Moors, Wimborne and surrounding areas.
Contact me now for help with misted double glazed windows and doors, and double glazing repairs.

April 26, 2012
Stocks closed near their best level in thin trading Thursday, with the S&P rallying to 1,400, as hopes for further stimulus from the Federal Reserve seemed to overshadow worries over the jobs market and some tepid earnings reports. "It's remarkable that we've come back to 1,400 on the S&P," said Brian Battle, vice president of trading at Performance trust Capital Partners, adding that the index's 11 percent rally so far this year is outperforming the Dow's 8 percent gain. "But 2012 will be a year of moves up and down because of lack of info and volume."

All about Kiddie Academy of Hoboken, NJ https://kiddieacademy.com/academies/hoboken/
An Interview with Gina M. Palmiero, Center Director, of the successful Kiddie Academy, Educational Child Care, Hoboken, NJ
When did Kiddie Academy of Hoboken open its doors:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken, NJ opened in 1983. There are 150 sites in the nation right now. That number is anticipated to grow with 20 more by the end of the year. Our owners own a lot of the franchises. As far as franchises go they are the 2nd on the list of owning the most in the United States. In NJ we have 4 sister sites including us; Hoboken, Hamilton Park, Florham Park and Secaucus. We opened in Hoboken in Dec of 2014.
How many classrooms do you have:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken Nj has eleven classrooms and they have seven that are open for the full day & we have one for our afterschool program that comes in the afternoon. And also have our own school bus!
Tell us more about your school bus:
Our bus is shared across all the schools but primarily during the school year. During the school year it's used for our after school transportation program. We pick up twenty afterschoolers from Demarest and Rue public schools in Hoboken and bring them to Kiddie Academy. A lot of them have younger siblings that are here. Our bus will be shared across all our sites for summer camp as well.
What are the age groups of children enrolled:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken Nj starts at 6 weeks up to Kindergarten. And also provide before and after school care and summer camp for children up to twelve years of age. Our age breakdown is as follows: Infants: 6 weeks -12 months; Toddler: 12-18 months; 18 months – 2yrs; 2yrs – 2.5yrs; 2.5yrs – 3yrs; 3.5yrs – 4.5yrs & Kindergarten. We differ from other schools here but we really wanted to create a school where the age breakdown is what we felt and saw is developmentally appropriate.
What is your teacher/child ratio in your schools:
We follow all the state regulations.
Do you provide an option for catered lunch:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken Nj provide, breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack with low fat and full fat milk that is certified organic. The school is nut free. In case of allergies, our catering company will create meals for the child within their dietary restrictions.
Do you have early drop off and after care options available:
Our program is a little different from other schools. Our days begin at 7am and runs through 6.30pm. It's all included in the tuition. This is a big advantage about us.
We also offer part time options in terms of number of days of the week (2, 3 and 5 days a week) from 7am – 6.30pm.
What kind of curriculum do you follow & how is it different from other schools in the area:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken, NJ curriculum is provided to us by the headquarters of Kiddie Academy. Its our own proprietary curriculum called Life Essentials. Its broken down into developmentally appropriate brackets. Its implemented within each of the classrooms. There are two big differences between our curriculum and others out there. First, It's very differentiated and meant to be individualized instruction. Up until 2 years of age , instead of creating a lesson plan for the whole classroom, the teachers will create an individualized lesson plan, per week, per child for all students up to 24 months of age based on where they are developmentally, their actual date of birth, parents needs (what they want their child to work on) and teachers assessments working with the students. After 2 years they transition to a whole group lesson plan.
Secondly, we offer character education. Every month we focus on a character trait that comes with key vocabulary, songs and activities, for all children, infancy and up. It allows us to find a common thread and to unite the whole school in doing the same thing. It brings character education to life across the whole school.
Curriculum of Kiddie Academy of Hoboken, NJ in a nutshell is differentiated, it's individualized and it's catered to every student's developmental needs. There is also a lot of room for free play and exploration and honing in on where their interests lie.
What extracurricular activities do you offer:
In addition to our curriculum which covers music, movement, gym and mathematics. We also offer American Sign language, Spanish and Music & More, once a week. Once every three months we also host an event at the school where we have soccer, face painting and other activities. We try and have community events for the parents and students alike.
Do you offer Summer Camp programs:
Kiddie Academy of Hoboken, NJ's Summer Camp is open to the community for kids two years of age and up, with field trips on our bus! Enrollment is open!
What would you like to say to our families:
The number 1 thing we've tried to put forth is trying to make the school a community. A community for families, teachers, administration, students. We want them to feel like this is an extension of their home from home and want them to feel as comfortable as they can here. We want everyone to get exactly what they need from us and easy for first time parents especially. We want them to know that they can trust us. So community is a big thing for us. They can trust us through our camera service, we send them photos and videos everyday, there is direct line access to all the classrooms here. It's really about establishing a community within a community.
A testimonial from a parent:
"Kiddie Academy of Hoboken blows the nanny experience out of the water"
I know most schools will say this, but we really believe our school is the highest of high quality. From our physical facility to programming the curriculum, to the teachers that we onboard, to professional development that we offer the teachers through the course of the year, to the furniture and the paint , we try and stay on top of everything, making sure we are maintaining the highest quality that we always can.
Childcare is a huge need in Hoboken and Jersey City and we want everyone walking through the doors to feel the excellent quality that we want to give them even if it's an interview!:)
We love to meet parents! Tours are Monday-Friday, 10am-2pm but if you can't make it we can accommodate based on your availability.

In a classic Wallace & Gromit cartoon titled "The Wrong Trousers," a dotty inventor is given a pair of NASA trousers with suction boots that let the wearer walk on ceilings and walls. Animated silliness ensues, but maybe the concept isn't completely silly after all. Physics students at the University of Leicester ran the numbers and found that such boots just might be sucky enough to work in real life. "The vacuum generator required would need to be powerful enough to reduce the pressure in the boot by 18.5kPa. This suction is consistent with a low vacuum, and hence is feasible," Katie Raymer and her colleagues report.
Feasible, but impractical. The battery would run out in 20 minutes or so, which would leave Wallace hanging. And the boots wouldn't work in the vacuum of space. (Sorry, NASA!) The study, timed to coincide with "Wrong Trousers Day" on Friday, is the latest in a string of Leicester research papers looking at topics ranging from the capabilities of Batman's cape to the trouble with "Star Trek" teleportation.

Basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is your body's resting energy expenditure necessary to support life and represents about 60 to 70 percent of your body's daily energy needs. Digestion, absorption and utilization of nutrients from food, which is the thermic effect of food, uses an additional 5 to 10 percent and body temperature regulation, known as adaptive thermogenesis, requires about 7 percent. While factors that affect your BMR, such as heredity, gender and age, are not within your control, following a few exercise and nutrition guidelines can help you raise your thermogenic BMR.
Build lean body mass through resistance training, such as weightlifting or strength training, two to three times a week. According to College of the Canyons Health Services, 1 pound of muscle, at rest, burns about three times more calories per day than a pound of fat. The metabolic rate of muscle increases even more during exercise.
Drink water on the rocks. Drinking a glass of ice-cold water five or six times during the day boosts metabolism, increasing calorie expenditure throughout the day, according to Colorado State University's College of Applied Human Sciences. This represents your body working to regulate its temperature through adaptive thermogenesis.
Eat six or more small meals throughout the day. Every time you eat, your resting metabolic rate increases and remains elevated for about 5 hours to fuel metabolic activities. Skipping meals and going for long periods of time between meals slows your metabolic rate. In your body's attempt to preserve fuel, it clings to every calorie and begins storing it as fat.
Have a cup or two of coffee or tea in the morning. Caffeine increases metabolic activity and helps your body break down fat more efficiently. Avoid consuming excess caffeine, since it has a dehydrating effect on your body.
