Ending Domestic Violence Requires Working With Those Who Harm, Too

The Alliance for Boys and Men of Color’s Healing Together Campaign aims to end intimate partner violence by advocating for policy changes—and seeking healing for both survivors and the people who harm them. Prompted by experiencing domestic violence in her own family, Jacquie Marroquin started working in the violence against women movement in California in 2001. In doing so, she recognized an irony. Marroquin knew all of the support systems available for victims of domestic violence and how to best use them, and yet she knew her own family would never take advantage of those services. They didn’t want law enforcement involved. Their situation isn’t uncommon. In Marroquin’s work as the director of programs for the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, she sees f...

Single & Alone – How’s That Working Out For You?

Would you agree that there are few places lonelier than being in a loveless relationship? Spending time with someone who's clearly bored, disinterested, perhaps even angry at your mere presence slowly destroys your confidence, self-esteem and faith in yourself. You may even question your ability to sustain future relationships. Then there are those who've had long, successful relationships which perhaps ended naturally through health issues or unexpectedly out of the blue, so leaving them lost, desolate and grief-stricken. They're faced with doubts as to how they'll heal, recover and start anew. Being single and alone never really featured as an option for them. Some people are on a constant mission to find partners for their single friends, seeming to feel that they've something missing f...

Millions Of Working Americans Still Can’t Afford Food And Rent – Forget The American Dream

Jeffrey Kucik, University of Arizona and Don Leonard, The Ohio State University The Biden administration is likely celebrating a better-than-expected jobs report, which showed surging employment and wages. However, for millions of working Americans, being employed doesn’t guarantee a living income. As scholars interested in the well-being of workers, we believe that the economy runs better when people aren’t forced to choose between paying rent, buying food or getting medicine. Yet too many are compelled to do just that. Determining just how many workers struggle to make ends meet is a complicated task. A worker’s minimum survival budget can vary considerably based on where the person lives and how many people are in the family. Take Rochester, New York. It has a cost of living that’s ...

Jason Statham One Of The Most Popular And Bankable Action Stars Working Today

CELEBRITIES Jason Statham is the red hot British export that wasted no time scoring a role in major movies. His first film was the cult smash Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). Since then he has become one of the most popular and bankable action stars working today. While Jason likes to work out to stay in Skintastic shape, he doesn’t take his clothes off very often, but he does make exceptions every now and then. Throughout his films you can see Jason shirtless, but in the two Crank movies he does take it all off. Crank (2006) shows Jason running around in a very flimsy hospital gown that shows off all his naughty bits as he moves. He also drops his pants and exposes his royal rear. A few years later in Crank 2: High Voltage (2009) he gives the world a much better view of his...

Jason Momoa Known For Working Out And Being In Fantastic Shape

CELEBRITIES Jason Momoa got his start in the Baywatch spinoff Baywatch Hawaii, but his big break came when he won the role of Ronon Dex in the TV show Stargate Atlantis. He is known for working out and being in fantastic shape which we caught in shirtless glimpses of during his Baywatch days. It was his turn as Khal Drogo in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones that brought him into the mainstream consciousness and out of his clothes. During the early stages of the first season of Game of Thrones, Momoa’s Drogo is married to Daenerys Targaryen. During their honeymoon he takes her to bed and thrusts vigorously into her, giving us a nice shot of his rock hard body from the side. Later he walks into his tent fully nude and sits down. We see him from behind with his warrior’s ass bared for all...
