Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on Thursday set a new bar for progressive proposals to establish accessible, affordable, safe, and sustainable housing as a human right in the United States with her introduction of the $1.2 trillion Homes for All Act.
"Across the nation, families are struggling with homelessness and housing insecurity. We need to treat the affordable housing shortage like the crisis that it is."
—Rep. Ilhan Omar
"Every American deserves access to a safe and stable place to live, but unfortunately, our current free-market housing system is not meeting the needs of working families," the Minnesota Democrat said in a statement.
Omar explained that "on a single night, over 10,000 people in Minnesota were homeless last year—the highest number ever recorded. 6,000 of them were youth—which means children are showing up at school without a place to go home to. And this does not include the thousands more who are behind on rent, or are looking for a permanent home after an eviction. And that's just Minnesota."
"Across the nation, families are struggling with homelessness and housing insecurity. We need to treat the affordable housing shortage like the crisis that it is," she added. "Housing is a fundamental human right. It's time we as a nation acted like it and end the housing crisis once and for all."
Every American deserves access to safe and affordable housing. Thank you @IlhanMN for introducing the #HomesForAll Act to end our housing crisis. https://t.co/pA5uKwJSLt

Omar's Homes for All Act (pdf) features three key investments:
- $800 billion over 10 years to build 9.5 million new public housing units;
- $200 billion to the Housing Trust Fund to help communities build 2.5 million private, permanent affordable housing projects for low-income families; and
- $200 billion to establish a Community Control and Anti-Displacement Fund at the Department of Housing and Urban Development "to protect families from gentrification, prevent displacement, and stabilize neighborhoods."
"Not only does the legislation create 12 million units of affordable housing, it also makes sure that all future funding needs are fully met so that public units do not fall into disrepair," noted Dianne Enriquez, a supporter of the bill and co-director of community dignity campaigns at the Center for Popular Democracy. "This provision, plus wrap-around services for people experiencing homelessness, would help to end our housing crisis."
Center for American Progress senior housing policy analyst Michela Zonta praised Omar for putting forward a bill that, if implemented, "will be life-changing for millions of families."
Pointing to the continued failures of existing federal rental assistance programs to meet the needs of Americans, Zonta said that "by proposing a 'just build it' strategy, the Homes for All Act sets a bold marker for what it would take to ensure millions of Americans have a safe, affordable place to call home."
Additionally, as HuffPost reported late Wednesday after obtaining a draft of Omar's bill, the legislation "is arguably the most ambitious Green New Deal policy unveiled since the movement for a sweeping industrial plan to shrink climate-changing emissions and expand protections for the poor went mainstream a year ago."
Varshini Prakash, executive director of the youth climate group Sunrise Movement, shared HuffPost's report on Twitter Thursday morning and wrote, "Affordable housing is key to stopping climate change."
Affordable housing is key to stopping climate change. In @Ilhan's #HomesForAll plan:
9.5million new units of public housing built to best env. standards
2.5mil units for low-inc families

According to a fact sheet (pdf) from Omar's office, the legislation "establishes a new vision of how 21st Century public and affordable housing should look and operate" by requiring that all new housing units built with the allocated funds:
- Remain permanently affordable;
- Be integrated, to the best possible extent with public transit and vehicle alternatives like walking and biking, while allowing for flexibility to accommodate the needs and resources of rural, metropolitan, and Tribal areas;
- Be designed, built, and operated to the highest possible environmental standard, with a focus on minimizing energy costs and achieving carbon neutrality;
- Prohibit any discrimination against residents based on sexual orientation, gender, criminal history, or immigration status;
- Be located in communities that are in compliance with the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule in order to ensure fair and equal access;
- And provide residents with free, voluntary wrap-around services that help address the needs of those experiencing chronic homelessness or housing instability—like access to healthcare, employment, or education assistance, childcare, financial literacy class, and other community-based support services.
CityLab called Omar's bill "a new mile marker in the progressive left's efforts to stake out a national housing agenda."
Tara Raghuveer, housing campaign director at the national group People's Action, concurred, declaring that "this will be the new standard by which progressive housing policy is measured."
"The housing and homelessness crises are the direct and predictable result of treating housing as a commodity rather than a human right," said Raghuveer. "Omar's groundbreaking new legislation will, for the first time in a century, address the scale of the housing crisis and prioritize people's needs over corporations' profits."
Welcoming the congresswoman's proposed "systemic intervention" in the crisis, Raghuveer added that "Omar listens to movement demands and follows the leadership of directly impacted people."
Corporate control of the housing market has made it nearly impossible to find affordable housing.

remain affordable

Omar's legislative proposal came a week after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-V.t.)—whom Omar and Ocasio-Cortez endorsed for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination—unveiled the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act (H.R.5185 and S.2876).
The Senate version of that bill is co-sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), one of Sanders' rivals in the presidential primary, as well as Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore). The Sanders-AOC proposal to invest in sustainable retrofits for about a million federal public housing units over decade would cost up to $172 billion, create more than 240,000 jobs per year, and improve the lives of nearly two million people, according to the think tank Data for Progress.
There is some overlap among the pair of new progressive housing bills. CityLab noted:
Like the Sanders-AOC bill, Omar's housing push features a critical but easy-to-overlook detail: It repeals the Faircloth Amendment. Back in 1998, President Bill Clinton signed a welfare reform bill with a GOP rider attached that capped public housing at 1999 levels, making any new construction over this number illegal. Repealing this amendment is technically necessary to build even one more federal public housing unit beyond the limit set 20 years ago. Calls for the repeal of the Faircloth Amendment are evidence that progressives are undeterred by the failures of the past and determined to start a new social project.
However, as HuffPost put it, Omar's bill "goes further" than the proposal introduced last week by her some of her key congressional allies.
"It's the marquee proposal in a wave of anticipated bills from a half dozen House Democrats seeking to make high-quality, affordable housing a central plank of the alternative political vision they hope to pitch ahead of the 2020 election," reported HuffPost. "Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.), Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) are expected to introduce more proposals in the months to come."

Whenever you visit one of our stores, well before you walk into our buildings, you are introduced to our pots that line our entrances and storefronts. But why? Why does Tacoma Boys have so many pots? (more…)
As Mother's Day, and all of the Graduations approach, before we get to the distinction of which flowers are best, we've got to know if flowers are a good gift, or just an easy out.(more…)
Finding the right partnerships in business is a serious task. So here are a few things that we look for when partnering with growers and manufacturers across the country, that helped us work so well with DeGoede Brothers.(more…)
Dark beers have been mysticized, made macho, or worse, made elite, for far too long. And here, in the land of IPA, there is a place for everyone to enjoy a pint of the darker brew from their favorite bar or specialty beer store.
Does eating healthy sound like it's too expensive for you? Believe it or not, there's a way you can eat healthy food for less, even for under $1. Here are 3 staple foods that will have you eating healthy on a budget in no time.
Most of us have the best intentions when it comes to our food. We always want the most affordable food that are as good for our bodies as they are our wallets. However, there's a common misconception that eating healthy on a budget is nearly impossible. In fact, it's one of the top reasons why many of us eye that fast food cheeseburger over a healthy plate of greens.
But eating well doesn't have to be an expensive endeavor. In fact, even if you only have a few dollars you can get the ingredients to make a hearty, healthy, home-cooked meal.
Here are three examples of healthy food you can get for $1 or less.
1. Oats
When it comes to eating a healthy breakfast, you have plenty of options. But to get the most bang for your buck, you'll want to pick up a container of oats.
While cooked oats may not be everyone's image of an ideal breakfast, there's no more cost-effective way to start your day. The average serving of oats, which is around 1/3 of a cup, will cost you less than a dollar. Tacoma Boys sells containers of oats at a very affordable price, so you should be able to get a few pounds of oats for less than a couple of dollars in total. That means you'll have healthy breakfasts for days!
But the cost isn't the only reason to incorporate oats into your diet. Each serving contains several grams of soluble fiber to aid digestion and rid your body of bad cholesterol. Plus, you can do a lot of different things with oats. Remember your favorite oatmeal from when you were a kid? Recreate a healthy adult version by adding fresh berries or cinnamon to your cooked oats. Some people even enjoy making their own granola or no-bake energy bites with peanut butter. The options are endless, it just takes a little creativity.
2. Beans
Beans, beans, they're good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you… save!
Beans are a fantastic option for eating healthy on a budget. They're an affordable meal that won't leave you hungry a few hours later. Cooking up a cup or two of beans will help you incorporate more fiber into your diet, as well as some extra protein. For those on a meatless or plant-based diet, beans are key for getting vital nutrients.
There are tons of options to choose from:
- Black beans
- Pinto beans
- Red beans
- Black-eyed peas
- And more!
You can pick up a pound of your favorite legume for about $1 no matter where you shop, making it one of the affordable foods out there. If you have the extra cash, we recommend buying a larger bag, as you'll ultimately save more that way.
Plus, they're one of the most versatile foods out there.
3. Eggs
Speaking of versatility, eggs are a common component in thousands of the world's most beloved dishes. From omelets to frittatas to straight-up scrambled, there are dozens of ways to use a dozen eggs.
In terms of health benefits, eggs contain protein as well as vitamins D and B. Many people look to egg whites as the more nutritious portion of the egg, but there are benefits to both the white and the yolk. Egg whites are fat free, carb free, high in protein and low in calories. However, egg yolks contain vitamins A, E and K along with healthy fats the body needs. Also, compared to the whites, egg yolks are more rich in folate and vitamin B12.
Most stores offer organic eggs for a very low cost per egg, so stock up! You can also look to your community for fresh eggs. Here in the Pacific Northwest, backyard chickens have been gaining popularity in urban neighborhoods. It's very likely you have a neighbor with chickens who gets fresh eggs every day. If the chickens are productive, they will often have a surplus and sell the eggs locally for great price. Check out your community message boards online to see if you can score some fresh eggs.
You don't have to give up on taste when eating healthy low-cost foods.
These three foods for eating healthy on a budget will keep your stomach and wallet full, so don't let a tight budget stop you from eating right. Oats, beans and eggs are staple foods that are best when complimented by fresh fruits and veggies. Use the money you save to stock up on quality organic produce and meats for a well-rounded, budget friendly diet.
At Tacoma Boys, we pride ourselves on offering customers the healthiest foods at the fairest prices. So, stop into one of our three locations today to see just how affordable eating well can be.

Thankfully, you don't have to worry about a huge cooking mess when it comes to this simple, one pan, chicken recipe.
Just place your Tacoma Boys vegetables of choice on one side of the pan, thickly diced chicken breast in the middle, and diced potatoes on the other side. Then, bake at 425 for 45 minutes.

2. Ahi Tuna Salad
Are you looking for something a little more unique? This Asian-inspired salad will do just the trick. Ahi Tuna is a popular dish at a lot of Pacific Northwest restaurants, but it's actually very easy to cook at home!
You can get Ahi Tuna steaks, avocados, carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers from your local Tacoma specialty market. Grate your carrots, slice the other veggies, and toss them with a green spring mix to create a salad base.
For cooking the tuna; first, you'll want to season it to your liking. We recommend using kosher salt, cayenne pepper and whole peppercorns.
Lightly sear the Ahi Tuna by melting butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to a desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.
Place your cooked tuna on top of your salad mix, and voila! You can finish it off with store-bought or home-made ginger sesame dressing.

Now that fall is here and winter is quickly approaching, many are looking for the perfect comfort food to indulge in. For many of us, that can look like a delicious pot roast.
Just stop in to your local Tacoma specialty market for chuck roast, carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. Season your roast with some rosemary, garlic salt, pepper, and thyme. Place the roast in a slow cooker with your chopped veggies, diced potatoes, and some beef broth. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours (for a 3-pound chuck roast).
Plus, you can use any leftover celery for a healthy snack! Just smear on some peanut butter for the ultimate go-to treat. Same goes with extra carrots, just pick your favorite dip and you've got plenty of snacks for later.

Tacoma Specialty Market Meals
If you need something quick and affordable for dinner this week, look no further than Tacoma Boys or H&L Produce! We are where folks go when looking for a Tacoma specialty market. Click here for a location near you.
When you search for a "butcher near Tacoma," do you consider the different services they may offer, and ways they cut and season the meat? Here are 5 things a butcher can do to improve your meat market experience.
A recent USDA study found that pre-packaged meat (the stuff on Styrofoam, wrapped in plastic) had over 211 different drug residues. Why? Because those meats are sourced from "factory farms".
So, if you're not interested in eating meat with residual antibiotics and hormones, then it's time to visit your local butcher!
Sourcing meat from a local butcher near Tacoma is an easy and sustainable way to incorporate organic meats into your meals.
Read on for the 5 things you didn't know you could ask your Tacoma butcher.
1. They Cut and Tenderize for You
Some cuts or dishes require special equipment (like a bone saw). If you don't have one of those in the depths of your pantry, there's no need to fret.
Just ask your butcher to cut or tenderize the meat for you.
They've got the necessary equipment and space. Plus, it'll save you a load of prep time once you get home.
2. They Season Your Meat for You
Who better to season the meat than a person who works with meat for a living?
At Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce we have our own brand of rubs and sauces that perfectly pair with the cut you're looking for. Most butchers have their favorites for beef, pork and chicken.
All you have to do is ask, and prior to the packaging, the butcher can season the meat to perfection.
Now that the meat is cut and seasoned, it just leaves the cooking to you! All you have to do is gather your ingredients and recipe to get dinner going.
3. Your Butcher Near Tacoma Can Special Order
Are you looking for something a little out of the norm? Maybe a goose or a turducken (that would be a chicken inside a duck, inside a turkey)?
Ask the butcher! They can work miracles behind the meat counter.
They may not have what you want on hand, but if you give them a few days' notice, they can most likely order it for you!
If you're short on time, you can always give one of our stores a call and the meat department will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
4. They can Teach You a Thing or Two
Some people avoid the butcher counter because they don't know what kind of meat to ask for or what to do with it once they get it home. If that sounds like you, it's okay! Just tell the butcher.
It's actually a lot of fun for us if you have no idea what you're looking for. It's like giving an artist a blank canvas and letting them create a masterpiece. The butcher might ask you some questions like:
- Which cuisines you typically enjoy?
- What type of dish you're looking to cook?
- What's your skill level?
The butcher can then offer suggestions as and instructions on the best way to prepare the cut.
The average American consumes about 200 lbs. of meat each year. So, you might as well learn how to shop for it, and cook it well!
5. Your Butcher Can Help You be Environmentally Friendly
Last but not least, a butcher near Tacoma can help you source your meat sustainably. They know that purchasing an entire animal from a local and reputable farmer is the best way to guarantee that the meat is a high quality and doesn't get wasted.
If you don't live with 12 other people, then buying a whole cow or pig is unrealistic. One option is to find a group of friends who are interested and having a butcher divide, package, and prepare the animal into equal parts for the whole group.
You'll have fresh, frozen, meat for an entire year!
Now Try it Out!
At Tacoma Boys and H&L Produce, we are proud to be an amazing option when looking for a Butcher near Tacoma.

Some people may say that today is a pointless activity; driven by financial greed, crazy parents or an excuse for a celebration. For me as a parent, it is the opportunity to truly sit back and reflect on the past few years and how much you have grown in that time, because no matter how much I tried cling onto the past few years, they slipped through my fingers.
I sit here in a sea of proud parents who are all smiling ear to ear, watching you all on stage smiling back at us, and I think back to the first time I dropped you off at nursery. You were 10 months old, and I was about to return to work. I was somewhat excited for you as I knew you would take this in your stride; I was excited about the adventures you would have, the friends you would make and the things you would learn.
It was about 3 weeks after you started nursery, when I parked up in the car park ready to collect you, and I watched other parents arriving for their child's graduation day. I remember sitting there having a little bubble of excitement in my stomach thinking that this would be us in a few years time. You were still my baby and it seemed so far away. Today I watched a parent pick up their child, who was about the same age you were when I watched the other parents arrive for graduation day. I saw the same look in her face that I had in mine; except now I am that parent.
Today is a celebration of how much you have grown as a person; and although I tell you how proud we are of you and your fierce personality everyday, you're too young to comprehend the true meaning of this. You're fearless, strong minded, and curious; and I hope and pray you never loose these qualities.
We often take for granted how much you grow in these first few years; we get distracted by the tantrums, sleepless nights, and fussy tendencies at meal times – we easily forget the triumphs you've had along the way, because they passed a year or two before. You're fiercely resilient, rarely deterred from trying new things or making mistakes. You fall down and graze your knee, so you try and try again until you don't fall down any more. You ask endless questions, not because you're trying to be annoying, but because you want to know how everything works; you're desperate to learn as much as you can, and as much as I can, I try to teach you.
But you've taught me so many things along the way; you've taught me a new level patience, one I didn't expect as I had always been a very patient person – you challenged this many times, but you helped me to grow further as a person. You've taught me to laugh, endlessly, even when I feel like crying. You've taught me to worry less; you live your life day-to-day, taking every moment as it comes – I try to live more like you, getting the most out of each day. You've taught me to look forward to the future and all of the exciting things that come with this – I no longer dread getting older, because each year that passes is a new chapter and adventure in our lives, full of endless opportunities. But most importantly, you've taught me a new type of love. One that is different from the love I have for my parents, for daddy, or any other family and friends; it's a love that I can't put into words, but it is so strong, it makes me so unbelievably happy, and you gave this to me.
Today has not been a pointless celebration; today has been all about you. A moment in time where everything stops still; no stresses or responsibility interfering, everything is stripped back and the focus is solely on you. A true moment to reflect. We are so proud of you and all you have achieved to date, and although this journey has naturally had its up and downs, we have enjoyed every moment of the ride with you so far.
As this chapter closes, I'm excited to watch you, and guide you through the coming chapters at school. Remain fearless, strong minded, unafraid of making mistakes, and keen to learn as much as you can about everything and anything. But above all else, always remember how loved you are and how proud we are.
With all the love in the world,

Masuku was found not liable for having committed an act of hate speech after his appeal was upheld.
Nine years ago, Masuku, then Congress of South African Trade Union (Cosatu) International Relations Secretary, threatened to harm South African Zionists, as well as other hateful utterances.
The appeal court ruling was shocking news for the Jewish community, as Masuku had been found guilty of hate speech twice for the same statements, first by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and then by the Equality Court. He had been ordered to apologise, but refused and appealed the hate speech judgement.
A disheartened Wendy Kahn, the National Director of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD), told the SA Jewish Report this week that the board noted the ruling by the SCA on Tuesday.
"We respectfully disagree with certain important aspects of its findings. The board strongly adheres to its belief that the statements by Bongani Masuku constituted unlawful incitement to cause harm," she said.
"We will now be looking to the Constitutional Court to address these critical issues, and hopefully to confirm the original hate speech rulings of the SAHRC and Equality Court."
The Equality Court found that Masuku's words constituted hate speech, and more specifically hate speech directed at Jews.
The SCA expressed concern that the words were not directed at Jews, they were directed at Zionists, and the two were not synonymous.
Furthermore, it ruled that Masuku's words did not constitute incitement to cause harm on the basis that the words used were metaphorical in nature and not direct incitement to harm.
The court's ruling was based on a previous judgement which said that a court should not be hasty to conclude that because language is angry in tone or conveys hostility, it is characterised as hate speech, even though it has overtones of race or ethnicity.
Ultimately, the SCA found that the words were protected speech, and did not constitute hate speech in terms of the Constitution.
The case goes back to 2009, when Masuku, in written communication and on public speaking platforms, made a series of vitriolic and highly inflammatory comments about Jews who supported Israel. This took place soon after Operation Cast Lead, a three-week offensive launched by Israel to halt rocket attacks by Hamas in Gaza. Cosatu accused Israel of committing human-rights violations.
In February 2009, Masuku said, "As we struggle to liberate Palestine from the racists, fascists and Zionists who belong to the era of their friend Hitler! We must not apologise, every Zionist must be made to drink the bitter medicine they are feeding our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
"We must target them, expose them, and do all that is needed to subject them to perpetual suffering until they withdraw from the land of others and stop their savage attacks on human dignity. Every Palestinian who suffers is a direct attack on all of us."
The majority of his statements were made during Israel Apartheid Week 2009 on the east campus of the University of the Witwatersrand during a lunch-time lecture hosted by the Palestinian Solidarity Committee and the Young Communist League.
Masuku said, "Any South African family who sends its son or daughter to be part of the Israel Defence Force must not blame us when something happens to them with immediate effect…"
"Cosatu is with you, we will do everything to make sure that whether it is at Wits, whether it's at Orange Grove, anyone who does not support equality and dignity, who does not support rights of other people, must face the consequences, even if it means that we will do something that may necessarily cause what is regarded as harm."
He also reportedly said that Jews who continued to stand up for Israel should "not just be encouraged but forced to leave South Africa".
In 2009, the SAHRC ordered Masuku to apologise for his hate speech. When he refused, the commission took it to the Equality Court. In July last year Judge Dimpheletse Moshidi ordered Masuku to make an "unconditional apology" to the SAJBD for the hurtful and harmful comments he had made.
Moshidi said in his judgement that Masuku's statements were hateful and hurtful, "in essence… made to instil detestation, enmity, ill-will, and malevolence towards Jews in South Africa. It is distinct advocacy of hatred – nothing else."
Masuku still refused to apologise, and took the matter on appeal.
According to the SCA judgement, "The fact that particular expression may be hurtful of people's feelings, or wounding, distasteful, politically inflammatory or downright offensive, does not exclude it from protection. Public debate is noisy, and there are many areas of dispute in our society that can provoke powerful emotions.
"The bounds of constitutional protection are only overstepped when the speech involves propaganda for war, the incitement of imminent violence, or the advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender, or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm."
It went on to say, "Nothing that Mr Masuku wrote or said transgressed those boundaries, however hurtful or distasteful they may have seemed to members of the Jewish and wider community. Many may deplore them, but that does not deprive them of constitutional protection."
This week, Cosatu welcomed the SCA decision. In a statement, it said, "We will never keep quiet in the face of extreme barbarism of Israel against the Palestinian people."
The trade federation also took a swipe at the SAHRC saying, "What was more heartbreaking about this case was to see the deterioration of an institution like the SAHRC that has essentially out-sourced its work to the SA Jewish Board of Deputies."
It accused the SAHRC of being "too busy doing the bidding of the Zionist lobby".
Boycott Divestment Sanctions South Africa tweeted the statement made by Cosatu at 15:26 on 4 December, saying, "South Africa's trade union federation @_cosatu welcomes the ruling from the Supreme Court of Appeal clearing the federaton of the frivolous AntiSemitism claims by the Israeli lobby group @SAJBD. Full statement below: #FreePalestine"
The Masuku matter lives on.

#OurBestShot Vaccination Awareness Campaign
n4a has partnered with the Alliance for Aging Research on #OurBestShot, a campaign developed to make it easy for n4a members to educate older adults about the important role vaccinations play in reducing preventable illness in their communities. The #OurBestShot campaign, timed to coincide with the start of flu season and Medicare's annual Open Enrollment period, aims to encourage older adults to schedule their annual Medicare visits, to share the facts about vaccines and to get vaccinated.
On December 7, 2017, n4a hosted a webinar featuring experts from the Alliance for Aging Research, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pima Council on Aging to highlight these resources and how aging agencies can use them to lead local initiatives. View the webinar recording and download the presentation handout!
Resources for Local Aging Professionals
As part of the #OurBestShot campaign, n4a and the Alliance for Aging Research have created the following tools and resources to help Area Agencies on Aging, Title VI Native American aging programs and local aging providers inform their communities of the importance of vaccinations.
- Publications: These materials share the facts about vaccines, the important role Medicare visits play in keeping communities healthy.
- Community Workshop Kit: This kit contains all of the resources necessary for local agencies to hold educational sessions on the importance of vaccinations for older adults.
- Social Media Toolkit: This toolkit provides content that n4a members can use to promote the importance of vaccinations for older adults locally and join the #OurBestShot conversation nationally.
- Video: This video, Our Best Shot: The Importance of Vaccines for Older Adults, is an accessible and compelling overview of why older adults should get vaccines. The film has been translated in Spanish and is available in closed caption for use in waiting rooms or other office settings. The Alliance for Aging Research also developed two shorter PSA videos that break down the some of the facts in the longer video and have been broadcasted in communities across the country.

Friday Fun: Cookies!!! (And Poetry)
When my son was very young, nothing could make him come running faster than the cry of-- "COOKIES!!!" We still laugh about that. And not surprisingly, he loves to bake. (Which is wonderful, except for when he goes off to school and I'm here at home with the... cookies...)

LTWB 98th Season
KING LEAR (Jan 24-Feb 2)
Shakespeare's oldest story, of an ancient King who invites chaos by dividing his kingdom, is also perhaps his most modern: a tale of human nature run amok that rings true in the context of current history. We set King Lear in the era of Woodstock, the dawn of the cultural division affecting us today. A theatrical feast, featuring live music, and a very new vision of a true classic.
The Broadway version of the touching 1998 hit movie, nominated for five Tony awards, takes everything in the fan-favorite film just a step or two farther. True love, big dreams, and the sounds of the 1980's are well-represented in fun, heartwarming musical theatre that has toured the world.

LOST IN YONKERS (May 1-10)
When Neil Simon passed away in 2018, he left an unmatched legacy: 30 world-famous plays. Little Theatre has staged many. Lost in Yonkers, winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize, is among his finest dramatic comedies. The poignant wartime story features the rich characters and brilliant writing we came to expect from Simon, the modern master of the play.

SHREK (June 19-28)
It's hard to believe nearly twenty years have passed since the big green ogre, his sidekick Donkey, and dear Fiona stole our hearts on the silver screen.

CAROUSEL (Sept 11-20)
Last produced by Little Theatre in 1966, Carousel is a return to our roots in the Golden Age of Broadway musicals.

The all-American story is literally timeless, and the beloved songs unforgettable.

The truth perfectly depicted in one cartoon. The Kremlin owns #BLOTUS. The lying pig is a puppet totally controlled by Putin.
I am only 70 years old, but I have to say that never, let me repeat that, NEVER have I seen any politician whine as much as the #BLOTUS. He is a spoiled, petulant brat that has never grown up.
He lies about the lies he lied to cover up the lies he lied about the lies. Then he whines about fake news and witch hunts.
All his ill-gotten wealth cannot buy enough lawyers to keep him out of the sights of all the investigators on his slimy trail. He is close to being treed by the hounds of justice.
The only thing more confusing than how the #BLOTUS got into office is how he stays there. Is there no limit to the blind allegiance the GOP base will offer this family? Maybe he did actually tell the truth (once) when he bragged about being able to shoot down someone in broad daylight and still have the support of his base.

The new laws taking effect in NSW from January 1
Extended preschool subsidies, a rebate for creative children, a baby hamper, and domestic violence leave for public sector employees are among a number of changes to laws and regulations in NSW from January 1.
As the state government prepares to fight an election campaign, NSW residents will be able to take advantage of a number of cost of living measures that are set to kick in once the fireworks usher in a new year, although road users will face a price hike through toll increases.
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet spruiked the "fantastic initiatives" which are intended to "take the pressure off the family budget".
"At the top of everyone's New Year's resolution list is the goal to save more money. Our top goal is to reduce the financial burden even further for the people of NSW and these measures are doing just that," Mr Perrottet said.
Here are some of the most significant changes:
Preschool subsidies extended
All three-year-olds will have access to two days a week of subsidised preschool education.
The measure makes NSW the first state to provide access for all children to attend two years of preschool, saving families as much as $800 a year and providing a strong start to early education.
The subsidy was previously only for children in the year before school.
Baby Bundle
The government's so-called 'baby bundle' is a hamper of items that parents of newborn babies will receive from January 1. The hamper, worth $300, includes a sleeping bag, breast pads, a change mat and a first aid kit.
There's some bad news for motorists, with tolls on the M4 set to increase by 4 per cent, more than double the rate of inflation. All other tolls will rise between 0.3 and 1.1 per cent, but because they increase every quarter rather than annually, it adds up to a similar hit to the hip pocket.
Creative Kids rebate
From January 1, a $100 voucher is available to help subsidise the cost of children's creative and cultural activities for children, including music lessons, drama and theatre classes, and even coding courses.
The incentive is similar to last year's offering which provided a $100 rebate for children's sporting activities.
The voucher is available per school-aged child, on top of the Active Kids rebate, meaning a family with four children could potentially save $800 on various activities and lessons.
Domestic violence leave for public service employees
From Tuesday, victims of domestic and family violence who are employed by the state government will have access to 10 days of paid domestic violence leave per year. Beneficiaries include nurses, teachers and police officers, bringing the government sector into line with private sector employers who have led the way with a similar policy.
Until now, public service employees experiencing domestic violence were entitled to five days of paid special leave per year, but only after other leave entitlements had been exhausted.
Wagering tax
A 10 per cent tax on wagering operators' net wagering revenue comes into effect on Tuesday. This means wagering operators will pay tax in the state where the gambling is occurring, rather than where they are based.
One Click Energy Switch
In late-2018, the government rolled out an online tool to help households compare and switch energy retailers.
While not a new measure, the take-up rate so far has been low, with the government encouraging residents to find savings by using the tool to switch energy companies. The government claims consumers could save up to $1000 a year on electricity bills by utilising the service, which aims to simplify the process of switching.
Discounted caravan registration
Another cost of living measure that was recently introduced is the rebate for registration of caravans, which benefits grey nomads and families with the cost slashed by up to 40 per cent.
Parking fines
An odd one, but one that could reduce instances of those pesky parking fines. From January 31, motorists will be given a 'grace period' of 10 minutes after their parking ticket expires, providing it was a printed ticket for 60 minutes or more.

Baracoa has some of Cuba's best countryside & dining, along with plenty of tourists & hustlers – check out our Baracoa Travel Guide & find out if it's best days are ahead or behind…

- Baracoa Travel Guide: Accommodation
- How to Get to Baracoa
- How to Get Out of Baracoa
Baracoa Travel Guide: Then & Now
Christopher Columbus discovered the region in 1492 but it was not until August 1511 that Baracoa was officially established as the first town in Cuba.
For four centuries, Baracoa was only accessible by sea. In 1965, the La Farola road was built, offering a direct link with Guantanamo, 120km away – regarded as a major triumph of the Revolution.
The road changed everything as traffic & supplies began to pour into the long-isolated town.
Naively, this far away from Havana, we here at DIY Travel HQ still expected to find a remote settlement & we were looking forward to a few days off the beaten track.
How wrong we were! Baracoa is, surprisingly, filled with tourists, both young backpackers & senior citizens on tour groups – it's only a sign of things to come as Cuba continues to open up.
Baracoa travel guide books & online reviews gush about Baracoa but we found it somewhat underwhelming. The lush countryside & delicious food is a secret no longer & therein lies much of the disappointment.
Along with the many tourists come the hustlers, jineteros in Spanish. Fortunately they mainly congregate around Parque Independencia in the morning & evening night.
Inexpensive, typical food in Baracoa is hard to come by, except the sugary sweet cucurucho. All we saw were tourist restaurants that were always empty every time we passed.
A coastal city, Baracoa enjoys a beautiful setting surrounded by verdant, palm & cacao tree-topped mountains.
There are a couple of nice lookout points in the city but stay away from the malecon – it's got to be the ugliest in Cuba.
These apartment blocks were built after the Revolution but fortunately the rest of the town is made up of small pastel-coloured colonial homes or quaint, wooden ramshackle shacks.
But the natural environment of the region is best experienced out of town:
- Roadtrip to Boca de Yumuri & the surrounding beaches
- Climb El Yunque mountain
- Hike in Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt
The best way is with your own wheels, hiring taxis (bargain hard) or taking tours. Just as traveling around Cuba is not easy, getting outside & around Baracoa is not very DIY-friendly either – but it could be possible, if you're willing to put in the effort & the time.
Neverthless, Baracoa is a pleasant place – it's just a long way to come for a day or two.
* Baracoa Travel Guide Top Tip: If you're already making the effort to come this far East, consider allocating some extra days or funds to enjoy some of the surrounding attractions.
Baracoa Travel Guide: Attractions
Parque Independencia
This triangular square in the heart of Bayamo is the where the people come to gather & together – locals, tourists & touts alike.
In the day, you can take a break from the heat in one of the benches under the shady trees. At night, relax with a drink or cigar. There are also several cafes, bars & restaurants around the plaza.
It would be a great spot for people-watching if people were doing more than looking at their phones.
* Baracoa Travel Guide Top Tip: Parque Independencia is the only place in the city you can access wifi – buy a card from the Etecsa store or hustler nearby.
Catedral de Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion
There's been a church on the plaza since the 16th century; this current one dates from 1833.
The cathedral's most prized passion is the Cruz de la Parra. It's the last remaining wooden cross (of 29) erected by Columbus in Cuba on his first expedition in 1492.
Museo Arqueologico "La Cueva del Paraiso"
This unique museum is located inside a series of caves that were once Indigenous Taino burial chambers.
There are around 2,000 artifacts, some on display, most hidden from view. These include unearthed skeletons, jewellery, sculptures & ceramics.
There are a couple of upper caves, one of which provides an excellent view of Baracoa:
Look & listen out for wildlife too, we spotted the 2nd smallest hummingbird in the world! Cuba is also home to the 1st 🙂
"La Cueva del Paraiso" is located about 1km from the city centre. The ticket booth is just before the caves. You can pay extra for a guide but it's not necessary.
Entry fee: CUC$3
Opening hours: 8am-5pm
* Baracoa Travel Guide Top Tip: It should be pretty easy to sneak-in after 5pm when it's closed, to check it out for free.
El Castillo de Seboruco
Baracoa's highest fort is now one of its best hotels.
You don't need to stay there to enjoy the views.
Take the steep stairway up Calle Frank Pais & go straight to the hotel for an awesome panorama of El Yunque & the bay.
Fuerte Matachin
Fierce Matachin is in the south of the city.
This one isn't a hotel or restaurant but a museum, the Museo Municipal.
Fuerte de la Punta
Fuerte de la Punta has protected the north-west end of Baracoa since 1803.
These days, it's not a hotel but a restaurant.
Baracoa Travel Guide: Accommodation
We stayed at Casa Emma (La Rubia) for CUC$15 – it had 2 double beds & air-conditioning.
You have a private bathroom but it's outside the room. You can use the fridge in the living room. Casa Emma was one of our best-value budget casa particulates in Cuba.
It's located just a couple of minutes walk from Parque Independencia.
How to Get to Baracoa
In Santiago de Cuba the camion station is next to Terminal de Omnibus on Avenida de los Libertadores (Carretera Central) – you can find it on Maps.Me.
A camion to Guantanamo takes 2.5 hours & costs 25 pesos / $1.00.
At the Guantanamo terminal, we couldn't find any transport to Baracoa. We took a local bus to the city centre, it kept going east, following our GPS we got off after it crossed the river. Then we walked about 1.5kms to the main highway (CC).
Here we waited & eventually caught a passing bus to Baracoa – it took 3.5 hours & cost 15 pesos / $0.60.
How to Get Out of Baracoa
To get out of Baracoa the cheap way, don't head to the Terminal Interprovincial de Omnibus. There's another station for jeeps & local buses – a jeep from here to Moa takes 2 hours & costs CUC$2 (don't pay more).
In Moa, we took a colectivo taxi to Holguin – 2hrs 45mins, CUC$4 / $4.00.
In Holguin, you can catch colectivos to Guardalavaca on Av XX Aniversario, just up from the intersection with Av de los Libertadores.
However, the colectivos will want CUC$5 from you (then 2 people for CUC$6) when locals probably pay around CUC$1. Just walk further up the road & join the group of waiting locals. A bus goes from here to Guardalavaca for just 5 pesos / $0.20 & takes around an hour.
We hope this Baracoa Travel Guide helps you plan your trip![put_wpgm id=81]

Kiss Across Deserts: Vampire Time Travel Ménage Romance, (Kiss Across Time Book 4), Tracy Cooper-Posey
Kiss Across Deserts: Vampire Time Travel Ménage Romance, (Kiss Across Time Book 4), Tracy Cooper-Posey
Genre: Erotica, Time travel, Fantasy/paranormal, Romance,
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews.
I'm really hooked into this series, its hot and sensual, erotic, but not one of those where the sex takes over the story. I need that balance, the decent storyline to enjoy a novel.
Years are passing, Taylor, Brody and Veris are married, they have three children now, and Alex has been a long time friend of theirs. The Queen however wants to know how they time travel and is pushing hard for an answer. To help persuade the she means it she arranges for Brody to be framed in a drug bust, which has terrible consequences for him as we saw in the last book…part of his defence team is another lawyer and judge, Rafe. When he sees Alex something sparks between them, even though Alex has only ever had relationships with women. Its complicated too as Alex has been unsuccessfully pursuing human detective Sydney for a year now. She doesn't date – we find out why later – but through a series of events gets involved with both Alex and Rafe individually, and slides into a scene from her past.
Alex – I so feel for him, he's suffering from the vampire ennui that often hits older ones. He envies what Taylor, Brody and Veris have, and also Rafe, a family that give them a sense of belonging and closeness. He's lonely, been struggling with it for over a year now, and he's been performing some dangerous experiments on himself in search of answers. I loved when he and Rafe got together and then…oh that was so so sad, and I really felt for him. Rafe too has a share of ups and downs in this book, and the time travel information brings them all into real danger. I did find Sydney's actions a little odd after her years of deliberate isolation, staying away from men and relationships but it did lead to some real sadness, which I love to wallow in! I can't see any other way either of getting the people in the place they needed to be. I love the time travel elements, and it builds on what has gone before, not throws in new things at the last moment. I hate when that happens, it seems a cop out. Even when Marit appears its in the context of being specially gifted that we already know.
Its another hot and erotic read, and I really enjoyed the distinct highs and lows in this book. I need that balance, and somehow when one or more characters are really feeling heartbroken, it makes it so much more meaningful when things work out. Marit too – she's something special and I feel we'll see more of her in future. The time travel mysteries get more complex, and working them out and seeing just why Brody & co insist on not altering the past is very thought provoking. Lots of "what if.."s spring to mind, but somehow the answers get brought in and I feel I mostly understand the complexities of it.
The ending to this part of the series is very edge of seat climatic, and once again makes for a perfect and sensual fantasy read. I'm looking forward to the next part.
Stars: Five, a fabulous read .

Disposition: ALJ's initial decision recommending entry of default judgment and practitioner's exclusion from practice before the USPTO became final Agency decision as a matter of law. Final decision here.
Summary: An IP attorney who had been licensed since 1988 and had a history of professional discipline was charged with multiple counts of ethical misconduct arising from the abandonment of multiple clients' patent and trademark applications and failure to cooperate with the OED's investigation. After failing to respond to the complaint, an administrative law judge entered an initial decision recommending entry of judgment by default in favor of the OED and proposing that the practitioner be excluded from practice before the USPTO. Because the practitioner failed to appeal, the ALJ's initial decision became the USPTO's final decision as a matter of law, and thus the practitioner was excluded.
Related to USPTO Practice? Yes.
Facts: On January 13, 2016, the OED Director filed a complaint against Russell W. Warnock alleging that Mr. Warnock engaged in a pattern and practice of allowing both patent and trademark applications to go abandoned for, among other things, failing to respond to an Office Action or a Notice to File Missing Parts in patent applications, and failing to respond to an Office Action or file a Statement of Use in trademark applications. The complaint sought Mr. Warnock's suspension or exclusion.
The complaint specified numerous matters in which Mr. Warnock had abandoned client matters. By way of example, he filed a patent application for a client in 2009. In 2012, the Office mailed a Notice of Allowance. Mr. Warnock failed to respond. When asked for an update, Mr. Warnock falsely informed his client that everything was on track, and that they were waiting for a reply from the USPTO. On March 18, 2013, the Office mailed a Notice of Abandonment for failure to respond to the Notice of Allowance.
The client independently learned about the abandonment. When he contacted Mr. Warnock, the attorney did not inform the client that the application had been abandoned many months earlier. Instead, he promised to "take care of restoring [the application] to active status" if the client would pay the issue fee. Although the client requested that this be done, Mr. Warnock failed to respond to the Notice of Allowance or submit the issue fee.
Similar facts regarding Mr. Warnock's failure to respond to USPTO correspondence, or inform the clients about such correspondence, or misrepresenting the status of ongoing matters to clients, were alleged throughout the complaint.
On March 2, 2015, OED sent a Request for Information ("RFI") to Mr. Warnock. After obtaining an extension of time to respond, Mr. Warnock provided an incomplete response.
On August 20, 2015, OED sent a second RFI ("Second RFI") to Mr. Warnock. In the Second RFI, OED asked follow-up questions in response to Mr. Warnock's response to the First RFI and also requested that he respond to the questions that he had not answered from the First RFI. Mr. Warnock failed to respond to the Second RFI.
Mr. Warnock was served with a copy of the OED's complaint, but failed to respond. In January 2016, the OED Director moved for entry of default judgment. No response was filed. Accordingly, the ALJ entered an initial decision granting the default judgment motion. The initial decision noted that since Mr. Warnock had failed to respond to the complaint, the allegations were accepted as true.
The ALJ's initial decision found based upon the undisputed facts that Mr. Warnock had breached ethical duties under the USPTO's Code of Professional Responsibility (for conduct pre-dating May 4, 2013) and the USPTO's Rules of Professional Conduct (for conduct on or after May 4, 2013). In particular, the ALJ found Mr. Warnock violated the following ethics rules:
- 37 C.F.R. § 10.23(a) for engaging in disreputable or gross misconduct by failing to perform services that he was retained to perform on behalf of a client.
- 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.23(a) and (b) via 10.23(c)(2)(1) for knowingly giving false or misleading information or knowingly participating in a material way in giving false or misleading information to a client in connection with any immediate, prospective or pending business before the Office.
- 37 C.F.R §§ 10.23(a) and (b) via 10.23(c)(8) for failing to inform a client of correspondence received from the Office when the correspondence could have a significant effect on a matter pending before the Office, is received by the practitioner on behalf of a client, and is correspondence which a reasonable practitioner would believe under the circumstances that the client should be notified.
- 37 C.F.R. § 10.77(c) for neglecting a legal matter entrusted to the practitioner.
- 37 C.F.R. § 11.101 for failing to provide competent representation to a client.
- 37 C.F.R. § 11.103 for failing to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client.
- 37 C.F.R. § 11.104(a)(2) and (3) for failing to keep the client reasonably informed about the status of the matter.
- 37 C.F.R. § 11.804(c) for engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.
Interestingly, the ALJ did not find that Mr. Warnock violated the USPTO's disciplinary rules that require a practitioner to assist in a disciplinary proceeding. See 37 C.F.R. § 11.801(b) (proscribing knowingly failing to respond to lawful demands for information from a disciplinary authority). Nevertheless, the ALJ did consider his failure to cooperate to be an aggravating factor warranting enhanced discipline. The ALJ concluded by recommending that Mr. Warnock be excluded from practice before the USPTO.
Because the practitioner failed to appeal, the ALJ's initial decision became the USPTO's final decision as a matter of law, and thus the practitioner was excluded.

One of the dozens of detainees at LAX — held since Donald Trump's "Muslim ban" went into effect — is a Croatian citizen, according to the ACLU … which is odd because Croatia is NOT one of the 7 banned countries.
Sources connected to the ACLU, who are on the ground at LAX, tell TMZ the Croatian woman flew into LAX from Paris this weekend. We're told she was forced to sign docs surrendering her tourist visitor's visa to enter the U.S. … and she is set to be flown back to Paris.
As we reported … immigrants at LAX who've been detained are being coerced to sign over their visas and green cards, as well as being sent back to their home countries.
At this point, it's unclear why the Croatian citizen is being detained by Customs and Border Protection. We've reached out to national headquarters … but no one's picking up.
The woman's detention is also puzzling because a federal judge issued a temporary stay of Trump's ban … for anyone traveling with a valid visa, and we're told this woman was.
Meanwhile … attorneys are currently at LAX offering free legal services to detainees and their families. Protests continue outside the airport.
