I just got back from the emergency animal hospital. My newest and oldest cat, Roger died about an hour ago.
For those of you keeping count...That's 3....yes 3 cats I have lost in the span of one year. What's that they say about 3?
I was about to go to bed about 1 am and was just putting food in the cat's bowls. Roger is usually waiting for the food and wasn't as usual. Thinking maybe he got locked up somewhere or escaped out the door, I checked the closets, under beds, the dryer, the cabinets and outside.
After about an hour of searching I found him lying next to my bathtub in the corner, laying "funny" and in respiratory distress. I scooped him up and ran next door to Cathy's (My vet tech best friend) She said his color was bad (How can they tell with all that fur?!) and I should take him to the critter ER.
The diagnosis......Congestive heart failure with an associated pleural effusion.
He was about 12 years old.....My Great Grandmother-in-law's cat that I took in last August. I couldn't see spending thousands on what the Vet said would probably be a futile fight. So I said yes to putting him down and he will be laid to rest next to Tristan and Edie this weekend at my mom's. Which, by the way, I have to leave for her house in 5 hours.....I've had no sleep.
I have one Cat left, 4 Year old Easter. Who's going on a weight management diet as soon as we are out of our current brand. I'll be damned if I'll let her die anytime soon. All this as we go take a trip to see my stepdad for the last time.

After half-fixing it last year (which was more of a making sure it didn't leak after I converted it to 134a) I finally got around to fully charging and returning the A/C in the RX-7 to service today.
This meant putting the little vacuum-driven thingy to pull the idle up when the compressor was running back onto the carb, installing a vacuum solenoid to make it go at the right time, running some new vacuum lines, and adjusting it. The adjustment needs a little more tweaking now that it's fully charged.
While not american-car-cold, it's very good and I was able to go drive around with the windows up on this sunny 90+ degree day in relative comfort.

Tea Information:
Leaf Type: Oolong
Where to Buy: Simple Loose Leaf
Tea Description:
Sheng Cha is an oolong tea grown at 1,100 m elevation and is grown wild. Sheng Cha is made from tea plants left to grow for decades in the wild, this imparts a more earthy palate to the leaf. Look for notes of sesame seed biscuits, toast and wheat.
Learn more about this tea here.

Taster's Review:
I'm liking this Sheng Cha Oolong Tea from Simple Loose Leaf a LOT! I've tried a lot of different Oolong teas over the years and the ones that really stand out to me are the ones that are different from the rest. This is one of those teas.
To brew it, I used my gaiwan. I measured a bamboo scoop into the bowl of the gaiwan and then added just enough hot water to cover the leaves (180°F water) and let that steep for 15 seconds. Then I strained the liquid and discarded it – that is known as the rinse or the 'awakening of the leaves.' A lot of people overlook this step, but I've learned over the years that the rinse is essential for getting the best flavor from Oolong teas (this is also true of pu-erh teas!)
Then I filled the gaiwan with more hot water and steeped the first infusion for 1 minute. For each infusion to follow, I added another 15 seconds onto the steep time.
My first cup is comprised of the first and second infusion. With this cup, I'm already discovering that the description above is pretty spot on, I'm getting an earthy flavor to the cup. I taste nutty notes that remind me of toasted sesame seeds and whole, multi-grain toasted bread. It's sweet and warm. It has a nice, roasty-toasty flavor – it's a comforting, cozy sort of flavor that you just want to curl up to.
The second cup (infusions 3 and 4) was a bit stronger in flavor than the first. The first was still quite a robustly flavored Oolong – ordinarily with Oolong teas, I find that my first cup is somewhat delicate in flavor but that wasn't the case with this Sheng Cha. This second cup is even stronger than that first cup was. It is only slightly astringent, but I am noticing more astringency than with the first cup – where it seemed almost non-existent. This time, I'm experiencing a slightly dry astringency at the tail – slight, yet it's there.
This tea is savory as well as sweet. I taste the sweet, nutty tones, but the bready notes and the warm, toasted flavors have a savory quality to them. It's quite a nice contrast, and with this second cup, I'm noticing more savory than sweet.
Mmm! My third cup (infusions 5 and 6) proved to be my favorite of the three cups that I brewed of this tea. The astringency has gone back to the 'almost non-existent' that I experienced with my first cup, and I'm also tasting more sweetness than I tasted with the second cup. This cup still has those savory notes too. Sweet, nutty, toasted sesame and whole grains. A slight earthiness and a woodsy note. It's a really comforting tea to sip. It has an autumnal flavor – so it's something that I find especially rewarding to sip on a chilly evening.

Staying with my desire to create for fall, I started with this amazing pendant and ceramic crow by Kylie Parry and worked in some wooden beads I picked up from Pudgy Beads a while back. I mixed both Vintaj Arte Metal and Bronze and topped it off with a piece of hand dyed ribbon. It's very earthy - a different style for me, but I like it.
I went back to my favorite hobby re-use of vintage materials and used this broken antique pin I have had in my stash for a while. Vintage glass beads in gold and green compliment the enamel of the pin turned pendant and I added some new hand blown glass beads from Blue Seraphim. I don't know if I can part with this one. I LOVE these vintage colors.
And, I had to start playing around with a Halloween take on my bird cage earrings. This time with crows and skulls. This style of earrings is always difficult to photograph, but I can't keep them in stock when people see them in person.
And, finally a pendant I made. I'm not sure how I'm going to incorporate it into a necklace yet. I have some dupioni silk ribbon that night be nice, or I may just simply put it on a chain. The orange flowers are lampwork by Serena Smith, the yellow glass leaves are vintage and the butterfly is a brass piece I painted.
It was a good day for creating. It is rare that I have the leisure of several hours strung together to make things. I feel very spoiled when I get this opportunity.

NEWS PROVIDED BYApostolate for Holy RelicsApril 9, 2019CHICAGO, April 9, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- Eight rare Relics of the Passion, with a unique program focused on the Passion of Christ, will be presented at two churches in Northbrook, Illinois on Palm Sunday and on Monday, April 15. This is the only presentation of these relics being held in the Midwest for 2019. The program, entitled "Call from the Crucified Heart," is a one-hour presentation of The Passion that couples holy relics with supporting meditations and musical pieces that serve as a guide to help you accompany Jesus through His suffering during the Passion. It ends with personal veneration of the relics. Collections such as this are generally seen only in Rome or the Holy Land and is something that most people only get to see once in a lifetime. What's significant about this collection is that these relics are brought into a single venue with a unique narration that brings the story of the Passion to life.The Relics of the Passion collection includes a piece of the True Cross, a piece of the Holy Table, a piece of the Column of Flagellation, a piece of The Crown of Thorns, a replica of the Holy Nail, fashioned using filings from the true nails, a relic of St. Longinus, a picture of the Veil of Veronica touched to the original with a Vatican seal attesting to the fact and a piece of the exterior wrapping for the Shroud of Turin.This exclusive presentation of "Call from the Crucified Heart: A Program with Relics of the Passion" will be available:

Assemblywoman Alicia Hyndman's op-ed "The Tale of Two School Districts" is wrongheaded and misleading.
She writes that deciding which students attend the city's specialized high school should not be based on one test. However, many results in our society are decided by one metric, notably elections.
If Assemblywoman Hyndman had come in second in the vote, she would not be in office.
She also suggests that the specialized high school are segregated. They are distinctly not segregated, as the largest ethnic group in nearly all of these schools is Asian, with whites coming in second.
Finally, she writes "this isn't simply a matter of black, white, Latino, or Asian." In fact, this is exactly what the mayor's plan is about, increasing the black and Hispanic percentage of students in the specialized high schools, which will necessarily lower the number of Asian and white students.
Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan, which Assemblywoman Hyndman supports, will be a disaster for our city's schools.

I'm not quite sure why, but I didn't realize that Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion was a satire until nearly the end of the film. Perhaps it was just that I had no real knowledge of it heading into viewing it other than the basic plot, that it was a Criterion-worthy film, and that it had won the Best Foreign Language Oscar in 1971. The plot description that I had read around its Criterion Collection blu-ray release a few years ago had interested me and I was very excited to find it available for streaming on Amazon Prime recently.
The film opens with a man entering a woman's apartment in the middle of the day for an afternoon tryst. He suddenly murders her in her own bed and then meticulously goes about staging the crime scene to his liking, adding in some extra clues while removing some items from the apartment before leaving. We follow him in his car from the scene of the crime to police headquarters where it is revealed that he a police inspector. Not only is he a detective, he is the former head of the homicide squad, having just received a promotion to lead a department tasked with cracking down on political activists. In short order, he is back at the scene of his crime investigating the very crime he committed. And we realize that he has set up the clues to point to him specifically, testing whether the police will arrest him for this crime or turn a blind eye to the obvious clues he has left. And the main thrust of the movie is the simple question: Can he get away with it just because of who he is?
Our main character is merely called "Il Dottore" according to IMDB. He is portrayed by Gian Moria Volante. Volante's performance is given a wide range to play with. Most of the time he displays a calm, cool demeanor and always appears in charge of the situation; he comes across like Don Draper with a more outgoing personality who speaks in more charged rhetoric than Don Draper. He schmoozes his co-workers, demands more resources from his superiors, and demands results from the men working to solve the crime he committed. At times he flies off the handle and other times deliberately says things that should raise suspicions in others. In fact, he keeps dropping clues after the fact and anonymously mailing evidence to the police that further incriminates him. He does all of this because he believes the police will refuse to look at him as a suspect, regardless of what the evidence suggests. There is some great cat and mouse stuff going on throughout the film as he plays both sides of the investigation.
Throughout the film we are shown flashbacks of the man and his mistress, filling in their relationship and the moments and events that led to her murder. They are shown re-enacting through photography famous crime scenes; he holds the camera and she poses as the victims. It hints at something dark, especially for the standards of when the film was made back in 1970, as this is a turn on for the two of them.
One of the real surprises here was to discover that the film is scored by the legendary Ennio Morricone. It is very different from his classic spaghetti western scores that he is so famous for, but it does have that unique Morricone sound. Two distinct characteristics of the score are a deliberate, almost sinister beat, the kind of musical pattern you could envision accompanying a scene from a movie where someone is being pursued down a sidewalk or alley. The second is a repeating "boing" rubber band sound. At first I thought it was an odd score for the film's content, but looking back on it, I see how the sinister and farcical elements combine to help clue the audience into the film's themes of satire and authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism/fascism is one of the big themes of the film, as our main character is put in charge of the department that is cracking down on Communists, protestors, political activists, rebellious youth, and others that could potentially undermine the state's authority. He gives several speeches to his police force, his superior, and the media about what needs to be done and how to enact a kind of police state. The film also shows the police interrogating people using questionable methods to get confessions out of suspects. While it is mostly effective, it also feels a little dated, and there was a level of the film's critique that I felt I was missing out on because I was not familiar with the political atmosphere of Italy in the late 1960s, though there is plenty that the film is saying here that can be applied generally when it comes to the abuse of power and authority.
The film concludes with a fever dream and then a closing scene that begins to mimic the fever dream, but ultimately leaves us hanging. It is an effective close to the film that hammers home the political points that the writer/director, Elio Petri, is making as the protagonists worst fears about the corruption of the police seem to be coming true. Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion is a film that wears its political agenda on it sleeves, at times to its detriment, but mostly to great effect. My general impression is that it is a film that has largely been lost to time, something I hope that a Criterion Collection release helps change. It is a very engaging, highly charged film with a great lead performance at the center of it and a sharp, satirical critique of a particular time and place that still has some resonance today.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Science of Synthesis: Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis Vol. 3
712 S. , Broschiert (FH)
Sofort lieferbar, Lieferzeit 1-3 Werktage
Versandkostenfrei [D], inkl. MwSt.
* Unverbindliche Preisempfehlung
The three Science of Synthesis volumes on "Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis" are designed to present the new possibilities offered by modern biocatalysis to the nonspecialist academic and industrial readership who are involved in practical organic synthesis. The goal of the reference work is to help start a new wave of enthusiasm for biocatalysis in the broader community and to give an overview of the field. As is the case with all of the Science of Synthesis volumes, "Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis" offers critical reviews of organic transformations by experts, including typical or general experimental procedures. The content organization of the three volumes is based on the type of reaction performed under biocatalysis.
Volume 3 begins by describing oxidation. A chapter on dihydroxylation is followed by reviews of alkane oxidation. Oxidations of alcohols, carbonyl compounds, and heteroatoms are also covered, as are halogenations. The use of biocatalysts in total synthesis, cascade reactions, and the development of large-scale processes are considered. Finally, emerging trends are outlined.
This volume is part 3 of a 3-volume set:
Science of Synthesis > Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis
This 3-volume set consists of:
Science of Synthesis: Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis, Vol. 1
Science of Synthesis: Biocatalysis in Organic Synthesis, Vol. 2

Hurricane Irma is now a Category 5, which has sustained wind speeds greater than 136 knots (157 mph; 252 km/h). The latest storm track reveals that it is forecast to reach the Straits of Florida by 1am CDT on Sunday (September 10). The National Hurricane Center has told Americans along hurricane-prone parts of the coast to get an evacuation plan in place.
In developing an evacuation plan, the following should be considered:
- How are you getting to the evacuation hotel?
- Do they accept pets?
- Who else can reach you in case your cell phone dies?
- How are you going to pay for expenses?
- What are you going to take with you?
- How will you secure your home?
- Without power, you are going to be consuming more water, therefore, it is recommended to have 100 ounces of clean water per person per day with regards to planning.
- Non-perishable food is the best to purchase
- Once the power goes out, a freezer can last 72-96 hours if it is not opened before the food spoils. Once it is opened, eat or dispose of everything in it in a timely manner.
For port users, please check with your local Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) for status of Port Condition (PORTCON). For example, COTP Key West has ordered PORTCON WHISKEY to be set at 8:00 PM, September 5 for the COTP Zone Key West, FL. Some actions, which waterfront facilities, should take include:
- Remove all debris and secure potential flying hazards.
- Take due diligence to prepare for potential storm impacts.
Meridian can also provide Incident Management Support and Direct Asset Response Teams:
- Incident Commanders
- Incident Command System Specialists
- Staging Area Management
Meridian.us can rapidly deploy highly-trained, disciplined, self-sustaining, multi-faceted, and dedicated unit of private security specialists for security, medical and or recovery services.
Meridian.us can assist with hurricane preparation, response and recovery. For more information, please contact Jason Wilbur at (337) 515-5833 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

CALD Women's Club Digital Story
CALD Women's Club is a free social club for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Women who live in Mackay (Queensland, Australia). The main focus of the club is to provide free activities and workshops for CALD women to connect, support each other and learn new skills. The Club was created at the end of 2018 by The Neighbourhood Hub in partnership with Mackay Women's Services to empower CALD women, support them to gain new skills and build confidence, and provide access to relevant services.
CALD Women's Club meets every Friday, 9.30am – 11.30am at Mackay Women's Centre, 418 Shakespeare street. For more information please email email@example.com or call 07 4957 2626
Safer Pathways for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Women
The aim of the Safer Pathways for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Women is to help CALD women living in regional areas that are experiencing, or at risk of, family and domestic violence or sexual assault, to access the support that they need. It is a two-year research project to identify ways to improve pathways into Domestic and Family Violence support services for CALD Women.
Family and domestic violence and sexual assault support services play a critical role in most Australian communities to help women who are experiencing violence, or who may have experienced violence in the past. Consultation with CALD women indicates that services could be more proactive in offering support, and could work with CALD specific services, such as multicultural services, to assist CALD clients to become familiar with the kinds of support available.
The program's objective is to:
- Achieve positive outcomes for at risk (or victims of domestic and family violence) CALD women, their children and their families by improving their safety and wellbeing; advancing gender equality and reduction of violence against women and children.
- Identify and reduce barriers to accessing support services for CALD women living in regional areas experiencing, or at risk of, family / domestic violence and or sexual assault.
- Improve access to domestic and family violence services for CALD women, provide support and education.
- Identify and test lasting ways for Safer Pathways workers to collaborate and work together with other community organisations, service providers and government agencies in the Mackay area to provide CALD women the best support available to them.
The research project is part of a national initiative, the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Projects using Action Research (CALD PAR) with short term funding from the Commonwealth Department of Social Services. The research results from all of the projects in the initiative have now been published by the Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS).

VANCOUVER – The No. 7-ranked UBC Thunderbirds men's basketball team lost 85-79 to the No. 10 University of Victoria Vikes in their Saturday night rematch at War Memorial Gymnasium in Vancouver.
The Vikes are now 4-0 on the season, while the T-Birds drop to 0-2.
"Some of the possessions just weren't there, and I think that's what cost us the game both nights. We just have go back and make every detail count," said fifth-year forward Brylle Kamen.
Tommy Nixon led UBC with 23 points and six assists while Victoria's Chris McLaughlin had 31 points.
Both teams had four players reach double digits on the scoresheet.
In addition to Nixon, Kamen chipped in with 15 points while David Wagner and Tonner Jackson both contributed 12 for the T-Birds this evening.
Reiner Thiel scored 15 for UVic, while Marcus Tibbs and Jordan Charles recorded 13 and 10 points, respectively.
Victoria led 48-40 at the half but UBC opened the third quarter by scoring the first eight points. Nixon opened up the proceedings with a three-point jump shot and was followed by Jackson, who converted a layup and then a three-point basket for the T-Birds. Conor Morgan's trey with 7:08 left in the third gave UBC its first lead since the opening frame at 51-50.
While the Vikes took a slim 67-63 lead into the fourth, their advantage had been as large as 10 points late in the third thanks to an 8-0 run, which saw triples from Thiel and Charles as well as a layup from Patrick Pilato.
The fourth quarter was an exciting back-and-forth affair. Each time the Vikes created some separation, the T-Birds fought back. Kamen's and-one play early in the fourth closed the gap to two points, as did a jumper from Jordan Jensen-Whyte with 7:28 left in regulation. Still, UBC did not manage to take a lead in the fourth as Victoria converted enough chances on offence to maintain its lead. McLaughlin went 3-for-4 from the field in the fourth quarter and the Vikes as a team, were 5-of-10. UBC made four of its 14 shots in the final period. Both squads made eight of 11 attempts from the foul line.
Six of UBC's eight points in the last two minutes were taken from the foul line. Starting with 1:58 on the clock, Nixon drew two back-to-back fouls, and converted all four of his free throws, making the score 79-75. Tibbs responded with a hard drive to the basket to put his team up 81-75, and then proceeded to foul Jensen-Whyte, who converted his free throws putting the Thunderbirds back within four points.
Victoria's Mack Roth and Thiel made their foul shots in between a Jackson layup for UBC to round out the scoring.
Both teams shot the ball well on Saturday night. The T-Birds made 29 of their 56 shots (51.8 per cent) while the Vikes were even better at 31-of-54 (57.4 per cent). UBC was 7-of-26 from behind the three-point line and Victoria was good 10 of its 23 attempts. The home side had a slight rebounding edge at 27-23.
Kamen is optimistic about the prospects for his team moving forward.
"This week we have to go back to practice and want to work harder and hopefully have better preparation for next weekend," he said.
The Thunderbirds will go on a road-trip to Edmonton next weekend, where they will face the Universty of Alberta (3-1). Victoria will head to Saskatoon for two games against the University of Saskatchewan (1-1).
Both series will be streamed live at canadawest.tv.

9 Fantastic Log Home Electrical Wiring Pictures - ?as formerly alluded, the sheets of osb are set up atop the t&g and wiring that turned into simply set up. Each layers of the composite should be glued with liquid nail to take away squeaks," shows paul. Spruce and resort pole pine are our primary woods. Ponderosa pine and douglas fir also are available. We use those trees because they may be even and instantly grained, low moisture content material, few knots, low log twist and are structurally sound. We use douglas fir while wanted for long spans and also for decking. Those bushes are not harvested green. They're pine beetle kill, standing lifeless, or hearth kill. This insect intrusion is what offers the logs their blue hue. The blue hue is made by way of the tree's response to the beetles. Basically, the timber used are culled from forests to prevent forest fires and to preserve animal habitat.
These days we're going to expose you how an expert builder, paul flury, places the important wiring for the devices within the first floor ceiling.? this topic is addressed without delay after set up of the composite flooring because it is there – the composite floors – in which the wires can be hidden. Wlh rectangular logs take away the settling trouble by using increasing the quantity of touch between log guides to 7-8 inches – almost double the contact regular in swedish cope construction. Rectangular logs provide the most insulation properties to be had in log domestic construction. Wlh logs are milled to fit flush along their period, growing basic thermal mass and requiring very little additional sealing or hole insulation.
Our important supply of logs comes out of british columbia, at once north people in canada. We also use local lumber and we pick out those logs the use of the equal high requirements as we do with all our logs. It is stated that a residence is handiest as desirable as its foundation. It can also be said that a log home is most effective as good as its log. Settling is a commonplace hassle skilled with the more not unusual "swedish cope" log shape. The same old within the industry for years, swedish cope creation has validated to bring about regular settling of one ½ inches on an eight-foot, milled-log wall, and as tons as 6 inches in an 8-foot, hand-peeled log wall. Settling can result in a myriad of troubles for the builder or property owner, such as buckled door jams, beaten home windows, broken electrical wiring, collapsed roofs, and structural shifting.

COPELABS coordination: Rute C. Sofia
BEING was a project from COPELABS dedicated to exploratory research activities in the context of mobile crowd sensing. In BEING we rely on middleware developed in the COPELABS CitySense (2012-2017) project and focus on contextualization derived from data captured via wireless networks, and which today any device overhears. BEING expects to contribute to the development of pervasive wireless solutions, as well as studies in mining in wireless networks, to assist in a better and non-intrusive inference of human behavior, from an individual and collective perspective.
BEING considers behaviour inference to be a product of three main aspects: I) passive sensing (roaming context); ii) routine and activities (human context); iii) and contextual information (affinities and similarities). Such behavior inference is to be performed with the owners of sensorial devices being agnostic and not disturbed with any sensing activities, and focusing on adequate activity classification modeling, considering models which can incorporate sensing fusion (more than one sensor and the data correlation towards the prediction of e.g., activities).
In order to target the most important challenges of devising large-scale personal sensing systems, this project aims to investigate and develop a pervasive wireless sensing framework able of leveraging cooperative sensing, data and context gathering. In the proposed framework, only people with strong similarities share training data: a wide range of affinity networks (e.g., proximity networks, online social networks, conversation networks) indicates different typesof interpersonal similarities. The proposedframework will make use of these different networksto determine an affinity graph that quantifies the similarity betweenusers, identifying opportunitiesfor effective sharing.
BEING has been funded by COPELABS, University Lusófona.

SLIDELL – He's played with everyone from Dr. John to the Funky Meters and the Neville Brothers, but now guitarist Brian Stoltz is missing the tools of his trade after burglars stole a dozen of his classic guitars.
Stoltz took to Facebook over the weekend to spread the news of his stolen guitars, amps, and custom gear.
"The storage facility where I keep my musical equipment was burglarized," Stoltz wrote. "The thieves got away with a rather large amount of gear – 12 guitars, every gigable amp I own, a pedalboard with some unique, customized pieces and lots more."
The guitars range from a 1938 Gibson Hollowbody Electric to a 12 string electric Stoltz cobbled together by hand out of parts and pieces of several different vintage guitars.
The Slidell Police Department has opened a case and is investigating the burglary, Stoltz said.
Anyone with any information on the stolen guitars and gear is asked to contact the SPD at (985) 643-3131.
Read Stoltz's post below for a complete list and pictures of each piece that was stolen.

As U.S. families continue to build movements for equity and to alleviate poverty, what numbers should be used by policymakers and those concerned? The official number of Americans in poverty declined in 2018, but some estimates say the amount is higher.
More than 1.4 million Americans are no longer living in poverty. The country's poverty rate for 2018 dropped to 11.8 percent, the lowest since 2001, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Sept. 10.
Last year, 38.1 million Americans lived in poverty, by official standards, down from 39.5 million people in 2017. The poverty rate for that year was 12.3 percent.
While the official 2018 poverty data revealed progress in many areas, analysts and anti-poverty advocates attributed many of the gains in the overall numbers released by the census bureau on Sept. 10 to the economic recovery that started a decade ago and the long-standing federal government safety net.
"Anti-poverty programs are lifting millions of economically vulnerable persons, including seniors and children, out of poverty," according to an analysis by Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and an economist who served in the Obama administration.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers said the improvements in federal poverty data were the result of current policies.
Census officials used the data to point out several areas of progress, including higher pay for women and a record-low poverty rate of 26.8 percent for households led by a woman.
"In 2018, workers in female-householder families worked full-time, year-round at a greater rate, with employment changes concentrated among blacks and Hispanics," census bureau officials said in a statement.
But tens of millions of Americans remain poor by official standards, a fact that anti-poverty and grassroots advocates nationwide are working to counter through community organizing, movement building and improved policies. A recent study shows that six in 10 Americans don't have $1,000 in savings, so a financial emergency could lead to debt, instability or poverty.
The Institute for Policy Studies, a think tank in Washington, D.C. relied on revised criteria for poverty to estimate in 2018 that the actual number of poor Americans could be as high as 140 million people. That translates to a poverty rate as high as 43 percent.
Official poverty data for 2018 indicate there's cause for concern despite the reported upturn. The median household income was – $63,179, statistically the same as 2017.
"Household income growth significantly slowed again in 2018, following a marked deceleration in 2017," said Elise Gould, senior economist for the Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute, in a statement.
"While any reduction in poverty or increase in income is a step in the right direction, most families have just barely made up the ground lost over the past decade," Gould added.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities expressed alarm at the higher number of Americans without health insurance in 2018, calling it "a turn for the worse."
The research organization in the nation's capital cited census data that 27.5 million people did not have health insurance in 2018, a nearly 8 percent increase from 2017.
The question of whether the official federal poverty measure is the most accurate or up-to-date to set policies remains open. The official poverty definition is based on criteria from the 1960s – and has not changed significantly over the decades. For 2018, the poverty threshold for a household of four people ranged from $25,465 to $26,324.
Census officials also issued their revised poverty benchmark, the Supplemental Poverty Measure which takes into account safety net programs, housing costs and geographic locations. It showed that the U.S. was home to 42.5 million poor people in 2018, not the 38.1 million counted officially.
Using this measure, the poverty rate for 2018 was 13 percent.
There are concerns, too, that federal government officials want to cut the country's social safety net.
As in past years, Whites made up the largest group among the country's 38.1 million poor people – 15.7 million people or more than 40 percent of those in poverty.
But three communities of color combined – Asians, Blacks and Hispanics – constitute more than half of all poor people in the U.S. These three communities, which have diversity among them, saw a total of 21.4 million people in poverty.
Among the four groups there were disproportional rates: The number of poor Whites made up 8 percent of all White Americans. Twenty one percent of all Blacks in the country were poor. Poor Asians were 10 percent of that overall racial group. Poor Hispanics accounted for 17.6 percent of all Hispanics in the U.S.
Though the number of children in poverty dropped by 1 percent from 12.8 million in 2017 to 11.9 million last year, advocates for youth called for more policy and societal progress.
"Every child deserves a future, and this new data shows that for 12 million children in America, they're still missing out," Mark Shriver, senior vice president for U.S. Programs & Advocacy at Save the Children, said in a statement.
"Setting a national poverty target and putting in the hard work to achieve it will have incredible dividends for the future of children – the future we all share."

Book review: 'Imhotep' by Jerry Dubs
I've read my fair share of historical novels over the years, and a good number of these have been set in ancient Egypt. However, I hadn't yet ventured very far into the world of self-published novels, so when a friend recommended Jerry Dubs' Imhotep to me, I popped along to Amazon to check it out. Of course, one of the risks you take when buying self-published work is that you don't know what you're going to get: will the book be littered with typos and poorly constructed prose? Will the characters be well developed and believable, or will you be slapped in the face with the ramblings of someone who just hasn't got what it takes to spin a good yarn?

Hi Hector,
I was wondering how you got the flat "top" with the circular lines. Obviously, it is the impression made by a cooling rack. But logically you can't remove a chiffon from its tin until it cools and by then you can't flatten the "bottom". Do you see why I am confused?

STEFFES SPOTLIGHT: Stephen Bolen
Stephen Bolen joined team Steffes at Grand Forks East a little over a year ago as a welder II in our frame weld area for our skid product line. He has since cross trained in assembly, break press, saw, paint and blast booth and is now the Weld Lead for frame weld.
In this role, Stephen oversees about six welders at any given time producing the steel frames that become the base of each of our skids. He is responsible for assigning each welder the appropriate amount of work to make sure that the frames are being built correctly and on time according to the orders we have.
Stephen worked at a weld shop before coming to Steffes. He says that welding is something that he has been passionate about for a long time.
"I've always been drawn to welding. I love building stuff and working with my hands. It's a good feeling to be able to feel like you've really accomplished something at the end of the day and you can see what you've built." says Stephen.
"I have enjoyed working at Steffes because I have opportunities for advancement. In the short time I've been here so far I've already learned how to operate in the different areas of the floor and taken on leadership."says Stephen. "I also like that the work doesn't get monotonous. There's always a new challenge."
"Steffes is different than a lot of companies because management takes interest and are directly involved in the business." said Stephen.
In his free time outside of work, Stephen enjoys spending time with his family. "Family and spending time with them is everything to me." he said.

D and M Fencing—My husband and I moved here a little over a year ago from Oklahoma. Just before winter hit we decided that we wanted to have a fence put in for our dog so we wouldn't have to take him out each time all winter. It's much colder here than in Oklahoma! I called around to several companies but no one wanted to take the job on , stating that it was too close to winter and that they wouldn't do anything until spring. One of the companies actually recommended D and M stating that they had seen their work and that they did a very good job. That was all the recommendation we needed! It says a lot when your competitor recommends you. I called and D and M took the job and actually was able to get the fence in weeks before they originally thought. They were very courteous, always kept us updated on their plan and did a great job! I highly recommend them!
Perfect—I recently moved here from 3.5 hrs away. The home I bought needed a fence to contain my dogs. The moving company gave me two companies who could help me. The first one didn't seem very interested in my business. Apparently my job wasn't big enough. I contacted D&M Fencing. We were trying to coordinate a time between him, me, and the current owners of the home to get an estimate. Never could seem to get a time that worked for everyone. Matt came out and got dimensions and drew a sketch based on my attempt at drawing what I wanted. He did this without requiring me to be there with the understanding that it might not be exactly what I imagined. I agreed because I needed the fence as soon as possible. Long story short, it was perfect. Actually, it was exactly what I needed. He and his crew were polite and cleaned up everything when they were finished. The price was actually less than what I expected. In short, these are the guys to hire if you need a fence.

Bcrypt password cracking extremely slow? Not if you are using hundreds of FPGAs!
Cracking classic hashes
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. This roughly doubles computing power about every two years as well. Password hashing algorithms typically have a lifetime of many decades. This means that the level of protection of a given password hash algorithm decreases over time: attackers can crack longer and more complex passwords in the same amount of time.

Sony recently came out and announced they won't be showing the PS5 anytime soon and they're still waiting to decide the price. Part of this is because they want to wait and see what Microsoft prices their new line of Xbox consoles at but there's a bit more to it than that.
In a report from Bloomberg, Sony's next-gen console will cost roughly $450 per unit to manufacture. Consoles are usually sold at a very small profit as they make most of their money on services and games so we can probably expect it to be between $450 – $500, depending on what Microsoft prices the Xbox Series X at. Bloomberg has stated that some Sony employees believe that if Microsoft lowballs it, that Sony should sell the PS5 at a loss which isn't terribly unheard of.
It's expected Microsoft's Xbox Series X will have two available units, one that's more "affordable" and one that's much more powerful and expensive. If Sony can somehow be in the middle, that'll put them at an advantageous position. Gamers will see Sony's console as affordable yet still premium enough to be worthwhile. They might look at Xbox's affordable option as a lesser upgrade and not as valuable for a next-gen gaming experience.
Sony also has a proven first-party backing with titles like Spider-Man, Uncharted, God of War, and more pushing millions of copies this generation. Even new IP like Horizon have done extraordinarily well, giving them a lot of capital and wiggle room. Sony's also expecting to do cross-generation launches with many of PS5's launch titles, meaning the transition won't be as jarring for gamers or Sony.
It's also being reported that Sony is having trouble locking down a steady supply of DRAM and NAND flash memory. It's currently unclear how much of an impact this will have on the production of units this spring and whether it'll affect how many units are available come holiday season.
No one knows when Sony's going to spill the deets on the PS5 but given Microsoft likely won't reveal pricing until E3 in June, Sony has to start talking more so they can be ready to counter. Bloomberg also notes in their report that the Japanese company will release a new PSVR headset sometime after the launch of the new console, something they'll likely divulge at the reveal event.
PS5 and Xbox Series X are slated to launch holiday 2020. We recently went hands-on with the first official next-gen title, Outriders. You can click here to read our impressions.

Tummy Time Tips for Newborns
Posted March 27, 2013on:
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing babies on their backs to sleep and their tummies to play as part of a daily routine. Just a few minutes a day, a few times a day, can help your baby get used to Tummy Time and help prevent early motor delays. If you begin early (even from just a few days old) and maintain a consistent schedule, your baby will learn to love Tummy Time. This helps develop the muscles in their back, neck, and trunk, on their way to meeting all their infant development milestones.
Tummy Time should begin from the time baby is brought home from the hospital. Try these simple tasks:
Create a habit of alternating baby's position (not location) at least every 20 minutes when baby is awake.
Carry baby in arms rather than in a car seat. Sometimes use the "foot ball" hold and carry baby tummy side down.
When changing baby's diaper, flip him over onto his tummy for 30 seconds to one minute.
Place baby on his tummy on your lap to burp or soothe. A hand on his bottom will help to keep him steady.
If bottle feeding, alternate arms to create a more natural hold for baby.
When you are awake and alert, lie down and place baby on your tummy or chest. Until baby can lift her head, alternate her head position for her. Make sure you keep your hands on baby at all times.
Get down on the floor at eye level with baby. Be sure to position yourself in different locations around baby to encourage head turning.
Babies don't always like Tummy Time in the beginning because they have no ability to lift their heads. However, if you are consistent about doing Tummy Time for short periods all throughout the day, every day, baby will learn to love it!
For additional information on Tummy Time activites and Infant development. See www.Pathways.org.
Tummy Time for Baby
Posted August 22, 2012on:
Tummy Time is important for baby because the amount of time baby spends on their tummy is reduced by back sleeping and car seat usage. The average baby now misses out on several hours of natural tummy time every day. The lack of tummy time can result in serious consequences for baby's development. Flat head (Plagiocephaly), Wry neck (torticollis) as well as social, emotional and developmental delays can all be linked to a lack of tummy time. However, all these issues can be avoided by parents and caregivers by giving baby an appropriate amount of snuggle time (carried) and tummy time every day starting from birth.
The key to effective tummy time is consistency. Every day when baby is awake, alert and supervised, the caregiver can place baby on his or her tummy for small amounts of time. A newborn baby is recommended to be placed on his or her tummy around 5 times a day for no more than 3 minutes each time. As baby grows and gains strength and skill, that time should increase until by three months of age, baby is spending an hour a day of awake time on their tummy.
There are several simple ways to integrate tummy time into baby's day without adding an additional or time consuming routine.
- You can place baby on their tummy on your lap for burping.
- Place baby on your tummy while lying down so that he or she can look you directly in the eye.
- Get down on the floor and put your face at baby's level. Place interesting toys all around baby so that she reaches in different directions.
When the baby is on his or her back, it is easy to develop a flat spot on the head because the skull is so soft. A bald spot on baby's head is the clearest early warning sign that baby is spending too much time in a certain position. Altering the position that baby holds their head while on their back will help prevent both flat head syndrome and wry neck; a condition where the neck muscles on one side of the neck shortens and the opposite side lengthens. The key is to recognize that baby prefers to turn his or her head to look at the parent or the door (where the parent comes in). Here are a few simple tips:
- When diapering, alternate the baby's head direction for each diaper change. Then, flip baby over onto their tummy for a moment.
- When bottle feeding baby, alternate the arm in which baby is held just like a breastfeeding mother would.
- Put baby to in a safe crib on her back for every sleep time, but alternate the orientation of her head between the head of the crib and the foot of the crib.
Perhaps the most important thing that parents and caregivers can do to positively affect baby's social, emotional and developmental progress is to carry the baby in arms rather than in a car seat. When baby is held, he or she is getting lots of sensory input, eye contact and bonding in addition to lots of muscle usage. As a newborn, keep baby's head, neck and back well supported; but as baby gains skills and develops, you can begin to use a less supporting position.
For more information on tummy time, go to www.pathways.org or schedule a Tummy Time workshop from Borchardt Consulting. If there are concerns about baby's development, consult your pediatrician.

Over 60 guests attended today's Women in Family Business and Leadership event in the DCU Business School.
Organised by the Centre for Family Business and the Leadership and Talent Institute and sponsored by AIB, PwC and William Fry, the event aimed to create awareness and ignite important conversations around inclusivity and diversity in family business leadership.
President Brian MacCraith spoke about a wide range of formal and informal initiatives at DCU that support the vision for the University to become a place that explicitly values women as leaders and through this it will become the lived experience of staff.
Maura McAdam welcomed guests to the second event in the 'Women in Family Business and Leadership' series, and highlighted some important research that has been carried out it this area. As Professor of Management and Director of Entrepreneurship at DCU, Maura spoke about entrepreneurial leadership and the idea that one should not focus on male or female leadership style, rather your own leadership style within the individual environments.
Keynote speakers, Caroline Keeling, CEO of Keelings; Stephanie Manahan, CEO of the Central Remedial Clinic; and Bríd Horan, Former Deputy CEO of ESB and Steering Committee Member of 30% Club Ireland, shared their individual leadership stories and experiences, addressing some of the challenges faced by women looking to enter into positions of leadership or currently in these top roles.
Having taken up the position of Chief Executive in June 2014, Stephanie Manahan has been central to establishing new management structures and robust governance for the CRC. She is leading out on a transformational change programme for the organisation and overseeing the implementation of the Strategic Plan for CRC for the next five years. In sharing her journey, Stephanie explained what leadership meant to her and how she believes our leadership styles affect our transformation and change goals. She also spoke about the impact various women and events have had in shaping her leadership style and highlighted the importance of managing the setbacks and remaining resilient.
Caroline Keeling gave us an insight into some of the challenges she has faced as a woman leader within a family owned business. Caroline took on the leadership role in 2006 with a strong vision for the company above everything else. Whilst the company faced a number of challenges in 2008, Caroline stressed the importance of emotional intelligence (managing self, reportees, boss, peers and teams) in leadership for peak performance, and how critical she feels it is for people to have balance in their leadership and what they stand for outside of the business.
Prior to her retirement in late 2014, Bríd Horan was Deputy Chief Executive of ESB, having spent eight years on the ESB Executive Team. She is also an active member of the 30% Club Ireland Steering Committee and Chairperson of ISAC (Ireland Smart Ageing Exchange). Brid's presentation focussed on three key messages;
- Being realistic – challenge yourself! If something is not challenging your business, your business won't change
- Build relationships – highlighting the importance of building relationships inside and outside of your business
- Be resilient – remember that nothing needs to be perfect.
These insightful presentations were following by breakout clinics where participants were given an opportunity to take part in a more in-depth discussion and Q&A session with each of the keynote speakers and with Maura McAdam, Melrona Kirrane and Janine Bosak from the DCU Business School.

Maybe Sok can fix Pox but Sok needs to eat...Maybe we should do some findraiser to pay Sok to finish last update (=fix chat!!!) and then slowly pox can come alive again.
