Lobbying Post #2: Healthier School Lunches

I live in the second council district of Philadelphia, which is represented by Democrat Anna Verna.  As luck would have it, Verna also happens to be serving her third term as City Council President.  First elected in 1999, Verna was the first woman to become the City Council President of Philadelphia.  She has generally won her elections by a wide margin, and examiner.com called her "Philadelphia's Number One Employee."

Verna has a history of fighting on behalf of Philadelphia's low-SES families.  While working on the City Council Finance Committee, she investigated Philadelphia Gas Works and saved endangered programs that helped needy people pay their gas bills.  She also froze tax rates for low-income seniors, and has successfully fought for more funding for police, recreation, fire facilities, and public education, as well as the renovation of housing stock.  She has said that affordable housing for Philadelphians is her "top priority."

Unfortunately, President Verna has decided that at the end of her term as City Council President, she will retire.  For this reason, she may not be the most helpful person to lobby.

I think that Democratic Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey would be more helpful.  He has identified helping children as a top priority.  In fact, he used to teach 5th grade, and at one point he coached 8th grade basketball in inner-city Philadelphia with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.  This tells me that he cares not just for children but for low-income children in particular.  He has also supported funding for education and children's health, especially for low-income children.  On his website, he expresses support for quality healthcare for everyone, "particularly children for whom health care in the earliest years is so critical."  Most notably, he added an amendment to the Senate health care reform bill that would continue full funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through 2019.

Since obesity is a huge problem among low-income children in Philadelphia, I think he'd be very much in favor of healthier school lunches.

How to tell time

There are three ways to ask for time in spanish. 
¿Qué hora es? ¿Qué hora son? ¿Qué hora tiene(s)? 

The following are statements to how you can answer: 

1:OO    ES LA UNA  ( EN PUNTO) 
2:00    SON LAS DOS (EN PUNTO)  3:00    SONLAS TRES  (EN PUNTO)
4:00    SON LAS CUATRO      ( EN PUNTO) 5:00    SON LAS CINO  (EN PUNTO)
6:00    SON LAS SEIS  (EN PUNTO)  7:00    SON LAS SIETE  (EN PUNTO) 
8:00   SON LAS OCHO  (EN PUNTO)  9:00    SON LAS NUEVE  (EN PUNTO) 
10:00  SON LAS DIEZ  (EN PUNTO)  11:00  SON LAS ONCE  (EN PUNTO) 
12:00    SON LAS DOCE  (EN PUNTO)
    12:00 AM   ES LA MEIANOCHE.  ( IT'S MIDNIGHT) 
       12:00 PM   ES LE MEDIODIA    (IT'S NOON) 

Minutes can be stated simply by separating the hour using “y".

Son las seis y cinco. It is 6:05
Son las siete y diez. 
It is 7:10
Son las once y diecinueve.
 It is 11:19

We use media to indicate the half hour and use cuarto to indicate the quarter hours.

Es la una y media. It is 1:30
   Son las cuatro y mediaIt is 4:30.
    Es la una y cuarto. It is 1:15.

It is customary to use menos to tell time during the second half of each hour. We simply state the number of minutes until the following hour.

Es la una menos diez. It is 12:50. (It is ten until one.)
Son las cinco menos cinco.
 It is 4:55. (It is five until five.)

Son las diez menos veinte. 
It is 9:40. (It is twenty until ten.)

Son las ocho menos cuarto.
 It is 7:45. (It is quarter until eight.)


The following are some main words you should remember when you respond:

... de la mañana  ( in the morning) ... y cuarto ( quarter after) 
... de la tarde ( in the afternoon) ... mesos cuarto ( quarter of) 
... de la noche ( in the evening)  ... y media ( haft past) 
 

Son las siete y cuarto de la mañana. It's 7:15 a.m. (It is 7:15 in the morning.)

Son las cuatro menos cinco de la tarde. It's 3:55 p.m. (It is five before four in the afternoon.)

Son las ocho y media de la noche. It's 8:30 p.m. (It is eight and a half at night).






Time are essentially very important for everyone to keep track of. If I am in a country that only speak Spanish, I think I will be late for school.

Days of the week :)

Have you ever walked, Have you ever walked to a school, the teacher asks the you: "¿Qué día es hoy"? You are wondering what the teacher is saying?Well today is your luck, we will teach you how to say the days of the week in spanish today.

In Spanish, ¿Qué día es hoy? means "what day is today"

 here is how you can respond..

Lobbying Post #2 - Flash Mobs/Curfews

Screen Shot 2011-10-30 at 11.10.03 AM
Screen Shot 2011-10-30 at 11.10.03 AM
​Living in the 4th district means that Curtis Jones Jr represents me in the city council. He is the most formidable advocate for education and community development. He also grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from Overbrook High School and University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Government. He's a member of multiples committees and has served in various public and private sector positions for more than two decades. 

On October 12th 2011, city council voted upon a new curfew for the city. Councilman Curtis Jones Jr was for the new law. He claimed that not only will this stop flash mobs, as it has done in the past couple months, but it will decrease the amount of violent juvenile crime. The law was voted upon and is now set into law for 2 years. This law will fine parents if their children are out past curfew. However, it is said that not every person out past curfew will receive consequences, some will simply just be told to go home, which in the past has worked. To keep more police on patrol to watch out for curfews, it will cost the city about $56,000 a weekend. 


Spanish I: Lesson The Alphabets in Español By Mingxue Zheng and Lala Doumbia

ABCs - Alfabeto Lesson

Learning Spanish alphabets is very important because the pronunciation of the confusing looking Spanish words is associated with these letters. So, this lesson will make you know the pronunciation of the words. Then, develop more complex phrases or sentences.

A - a                sounds like“a” as in art
B- be alta       sounds like (be-all-da)
C- ce              sounds like “sa” as in sat
Ch- che          sound like”ch” as in chips
D - de             sounds like “da” as in dad                     
E - e                sounds like “a” as in at
F - efe             sounds like (a-fe)
G - ge             sounds like “ha” as in hair
H- hache        sounds like (a-che)
I - i                   sounds like (e)
J- jota              sounds like (hall-da)
K - ka             sounds like (ka)
L- ele             sounds like (a-le)
LL -elle          sound like (a-yah)
M -  eme        sounds like (am-mai)
N  - ene          sounds like (an-ne)
Ñ - eñe          sounds like (an-ne) with a strong nose sound
O - o              sounds like (woo)
P - pe            sounds like “be” as in bed
Q - cu           sounds like “coo” as in cool
R - ere          sounds like (a-rea)
RR - erre      sounds like (a-rea) roll your tongue on “rr”
S - ese               sounds like (a-sia)
T- te              sounds like tei
V - ve chica  sounds like (ve) (chee-ka)
W - doble ve sounds like (doe-b-le) (ve)
X - equis        sounds like (a-keys)
Y - ye   sounds like (ya)

or,
I griega sounds like (i) (gar-ri-ga) 
Z - zeta  sounds like (sat-da)

Trick for memorizing Spanish Alphabets

You probably had noticed that some of the Spanish Alphabets starts off with “e” and then the letter itself (two or one times) and ends with an “e”.
The pattern started after the letter E
These are the alphabets:
E-e
F-efe
L-ele
LL-elle
M-eme
N-ene
Ñ-eñe
R-ere
RR-erre
S-ese
Ve Chica and doble ve is very easy to memorize if you know the trick. Since, Ve sounds like the English alphabet of saying “V”. You would know that V is Ve chica (it start with a V too) and then doble ve can be view as double “V” which symbolized “W”!

Tú vs Usted

In spanish there are two ways  to ask people something. One is to say  tú= informal and one is Usted= formal. 
Tú can also translate to english as "you". You only use tú to talk to a friend, or people who are younger than you, or people who are close to you and they are about your age.
Usted (ud) means  sir/mam in english. You use Ud when you're talking to a older person, Like your teacher, your mom/dad, and their friends. If you do not know the person or you are unsure of their age, use ustead.
For example:

Goodbyes in Spanish by Sophie Deoliveira

​What you need to know:

1. what some nice friendly goodbyes are in spanish and translated in English

2. why would you need them

3. which are informally and formal to use


1)
Adios- Bye (can use it for anyone)

Chao- Bye (slang)

Mucho gusto- Nice meeting you

Un placer- It's a pleasure

Encantado/a- delighted to meet you

Hasta Mañana- see you tomorrow

Hasta luego- See you later

2) You need these goodbyes to be able to end a conversation or at least be polite about talking to the person when you want to leave.

Here's an example:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/hi%2C%20how%20are%20you%2C%20bye.mov?w=e77c0810
3) Well basically everything else you can say to anybody except "Chao" is a type of slang word so you would want to normally use it to a peer or someone younger than you
