A circle of helping

Whenever I read stories about people helping out others who have fallen on hard times, I am heartened. Whether it is the simple act of two people handing out bag lunches to homeless people in a park, or a full-scale citywide organizational effort to help others, these acts give comfort to those of us whose own families have had to rely upon the kindness of strangers.

If you are part of a family that has never been affected by a family member who has been addicted to…

Interesting Read - 10 Underrated Men AND Why You Should Date Them

As Posted By Essence Magazine: 



The availability of single men is largely about math. If there are 10 single men at a party and you disqualify 9 of them, your probability of meeting Mr. Right shrinks to below 10% (the reason it's 'below' is because, don't forget, he needs to not disqualify you). When you take this same concept and apply it to our daily lives, the result is that very few women meet and then, subsequently, date men. The average…

COUNCILMAN JIM KENNEY INTRODUCES BILL TO REQUIRE FEDERAL AND STATE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO RESIGN TO RUN FOR CITY OFFICE

Councilman At-Large Jim Kenney (D) has floated a Charter amendment to expand Philadelphia’s “resign-to-run” rules for city elected officials to state and federal officeholders, too. As an amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter, the proposal would require voter approval via a ballot question to pass. City voters rejected a proposal from Kenney to eliminate resign-to-run for city elected officials in May 2007.
