ATTN: Winning bidders living outside the U.S. and Canada can have this Pricebenders item shipped for free to a U.S. address! Alternately, international winners of this item can choose to participate in our Gift Certificate Exchange or the "Your Choice Dropshipping" program. Does even more. Weighs even less. The iPad Air is unbelievably thin and light. And yet it's so much more powerful and capable. With the A7 chip, advanced wireless, and great apps for productivity and creativity--all beautifully integrated with iOS 8--iPad Air lets you do more than you ever imagined. In more places than you ever imagined. iPad Air'a aluminum unibody design means it's dropped almost a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just one gravity-defying pound. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure. So you can do even more with it, while carrying even less with you. Despite its reduced width, along with the bezels on the sides of the display, the size of the stunning Retina display is exactly the same. Your content fills your view more than ever. Photos and videos pop with detail and text looks razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible. So all you see is what you want to see. The Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to twice the CPU speed and graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all you want! MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR ANYONE!

New York: We're on the Verge of Passing a Bold Climate Justice Bill
Adrien Salazar
The state legislature is on the verge of passing the Climate and Community Protection Act, and they need to hear from you.
Communities of color and low-income neighborhoods have borne the brunt of the impacts of pollution.
The effects of climate change are racially and economically inequitable. Communities of color and low-income neighborhoods have borne the brunt of the impacts of pollution. Due to historic disinvestment and discriminatory zoning and siting, these communities often are at the fence lines of polluting sites like power plants, major traffic thoroughfares, and incinerators. These are the same communities that are most vulnerable to and often bear the worst impacts of climate change.
Climate policy solutions must therefore be grounded in racial and economic justice.
In New York, the state legislature is on the verge of passing the Climate and Community Protection Act (CCPA)—a bill that centers frontline communities, public health, jobs, and justice.
TAKE ACTION TO HELP PASS THE CCPA
Reach out to your representatives and Governor Cuomo with this tool and let them know we need New York to pass a strong CCPA that reduces 100% of carbon emissions and invests 40% of energy funds in frontline communities.
Please join Demos and the NY Renews coalition in Albany on Tuesday, June 11, and let Governor Cuomo and our legislators know that time is running out. We need to pass the CCPA now. RSVP here to join us.
The CCPA is a bill that would put New York on a path to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by 2050, invest 40% of state energy funds directly in disadvantaged communities, and create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs for New Yorkers.
This bill is supported by over 180 groups in the NY Renews coalition, which Demos is a member of, and who we proudly honored with a Transforming America Award for their bold vision for equity-centered climate solutions.
The CCPA now has the support of the majority of legislators in both the state Senate and Assembly, but Governor Cuomo recently stated that he does not see climate action as a priority for the rest of the legislative session. Scientists tell us we are running out of time for meaningful action to avert the climate crisis. New York can and must do its part by passing this aggressive climate legislation.
With less than two weeks left in the New York legislative session we need your help to get this bill passed. Let's show the country what climate solutions can look like when they center and uplift communities most vulnerable to economic injustice and climate catastrophe.
Please call your New York legislator and, if you're able, join us in Albany on June 11.
It's Time to Get Big Money Out of the Climate Change Fight
If we want to pass climate policies that could actually help reverse the climate crisis, then we also need to fix our democratic system that gives too much power to wealthy donors and big polluters.

So they posted the final challenge early, which was interesting. It was, as stated in the rules, a series of five puzzles which had to be completed sequentially. They were much more difficult than the puzzles in the first stage, and when you reloaded the puzzle you were not presented with a new puzzle–you had to solve the puzzle you were presented with.
I thought cheaters might find the final challenge very difficult, because the trivia aspect was removed. All the puzzles demanded logical ability and skill, most requiring the participant to actually do the work. Sadly, the cheaters are ever creative, and quickly realized that apparently Google is loading the same puzzles for everyone (which greatly surprises me–I thought they would be randomly generated with different solutions as they were before). Screenshots with solutions now litter the internet, and participants aren't even trying to solve the puzzles on their own. I mean, way to take skill and intellect out of the equation there.
This is immensely sad to me because the joy of the thing is in solving the puzzles. Not only does cheating disenfranchise those who worked hard to solve the puzzles on their own, but it takes all the fun out of the endeavor. I sincerely hope that cheaters are disqualified, or that someone who is a superb puzzle solver wins with a rapidly played challenge. If I'm going to lose a contest, I'd like to lose it to people who were better to me rather than people who cheated for the answers.
So what are the final puzzles?
The first is a 9×9 Sudoku, and it is quite fun. (Of course, I adore Sudoku, so there shouldn't be much surprise there.) The Sudoku was the puzzle that took me the longest–there was a moment there when I thought I might give up, but then the pieces started slotting together in beautiful logic and I got through it.
The second is another one of those "restoration" challenges where you move pieces of dirt around on a painting. I've never quite gotten these, and I had to restart twice, but I ended up managing it. I only hope actual art restorers don't handle great works this way, dragging great clumps of dirt across the surface.
The third was a "curator" challenge, which is simply a matter of understanding spatial relations and moving things around until you get a good fit. It didn't take me too long, placing the larger pieces first.
The fourth was a chess challenge and apparently my fiendish studying of chess problems worked because I got it quite quickly. The only problem is that the pieces are rather difficult to identify, something which makes it a bit more difficult.
Finally, there was a jigsaw puzzle, rather cleverly done. The image shifted and moved because when you finished, it turned into a full preview. It added another level of challenge to the experience which I greatly enjoyed.
All in all I think the final challenge was well done and put together. I assume that others will be playing variants of the puzzles I did. I do think it's rather entertaining that I spent a lot of time studying up on trivia and things for this challenge, all to no end. Only time shall tell who the winners are–I'm sure I'm not one of them, due to my long hesitation with the Sudoku. Speed Sudoku has never been my forte. But I still enjoyed myself immensely.
My final time? Thirty two minutes.

Арка́дий Алекса́ндрович Пла́стов () — советский -живописец. Народный художник СССР (1962). Академик АХ СССР. Лауреат Ленинской премии (1966) и Сталинской премии первой степени (1946).

Биография
Родился в семье потомственных иконописцев.

В 1903 году поступил в Симбирское духовное училище. С 1908 года учился в Симбирской духовной семинарии, а затем переехал в Москву. Занимался рисованием у Дмитрия Архангельского. Некоторое время занимался в мастерской Ильи Машкова, затем поступил в Императорское Строгановское Центральное художественно-промышленное училище, где одним из его учителей был Фёдор Федоровский. Проучившись в нём с 1912 по 1914 год, поступил в Московское училище живописи, ваяния и зодчества на скульптурное отделение.

Его учителями были живописцы Алексей Корин, Аполлинарий Васнецов, Абрам Архипов, Алексей Степанов, Леонид Пастернак и скульптор Сергей Волнухин.

В 1917 году вернулся в Прислониху Симбирской губернии, где начал заниматься живописью. В 1917-м, когда приехал учиться в Москву, в училище живописи, ваяния и зодчества, патрули едва не расстреляли его прямо на вокзале. На шинели юноши были пуговицы с орлами, и патрульные решили, что он лазутчик. Спас от неминуемой гибели пожилой сердобольный патрульный. А в 1929 году в Прислониху приехали агитаторы колхозного строя и начали убеждать крестьян собирать деньги на трактор. Художник высказал свою точку зрения, мол, а если трактор сломается, что с ним потом делать? И предложил приобрести лошадей. На следующий день он оказался в застенках НКВД, где и провёл почти четыре месяца. Его обвинили в том, что он выступил вразрез линии партии на индустриализацию и коллективизацию. Спасли художника односельчане, которые писали письма в разные инстанции. В 1917—1922 годах — секретарь сельского совета и Комитета бедноты Прислонихи.

С 1935 года выступал с жанровыми картинами, в которых приукрашивание быта советской деревни, искусственность образов сочетаются с живописным мастерством. В качестве действующих лиц на его полотнах обычно выступают односельчане.

В 1927—1930 годах работал в различных издательствах Москвы.

Автор ряда литературно-художественных произведений.

В 1947 году А. Пластов стал академиком АХ СССР. Член СХ СССР (1937), член правления СХ РСФСР и СХ СССР (1957), секретарь правления СХ СССР (1968).

В 1947—1950 годах — депутат Ульяновского областного совета депутатов трудящихся.

Семья
 Жена — Наталья Алексеевна фон Вик (1903—1982), происходившая из старинного дворянского немецкого рода.
 Сын — Николай Пластов (1930—2000), художник, фотохудожник. Член Союза художников РСФСР, СССР и России, Заслуженный художник РСФСР (1979), секретарь Союза художников РСФСР и СССР, член-корреспондент Академии художеств России.
 Внук — Николай Пластов (р. 1956), художник. Член Союза художников России.

Творчество

Одна из первых значительных работ художника «Купание коней» была выполнена им для выставки «20 лет РККА». Для выставки «Индустрия социализма» он также написал картину под названием «Колхозный праздник» (1937), в котором «красочно передал новый быт социалистической деревни».

Другое яркое произведение — «Колхозное стадо» (1938). Общие черты его картин — жанровая сцена не мыслится вне пейзажа, вне русской природы, которая всегда трактуется лирически. Другая его особенность — отсутствие конфликта или особого момента, события в сюжете, хотя при этом всё равно создаётся поэтическая выразительность образа.

В его картинах отражены испытания советского народа в годы войны («Фашист пролетел», 1942), патриотический труд женщин, стариков и детей на колхозных полях в военные годы («Жатва», «Сенокос», 1945), праздник выборов в Верховный Совет («Едут на выборы», 1947), послевоенный трудовой подъём («Колхозный ток», 1949, «Ужин трактористов», 1951), быт русской деревни («Родник», 1952, «Летом», 1954, «Первый снег», 1946). Также широко известна получившая широкий резонанс в обществе картина «Весна». Героиня картины, предстающая на ней полностью обнажённой, была прозвана Северной Венерой.

Яркость и эмоциональность замысла отличают его картины в области иллюстрации («Мороз, Красный нос» Н. А. Некрасова, 1948; «Капитанская дочка» А. С. Пушкина, 1948—1949; произведения Л. Н. Толстого, 1953; рассказ А. П. Чехова, 1954, и др.), пейзажа, сельскохозяйственного плаката. Красочные образы деревенской жизни и родной природы художник запечатлел в акварелях к книгам для детей. Некоторым произведениям художника недостаёт глубокого раскрытия и обобщения черт нового в колхозной жизни; но в лучшей своей части его творчество тесно связано с передовыми идеями современности и реалистическими традициями русского искусства и отличается ярко выраженным национальным характером, народностью образов, поэтичностью замысла, выразительностью колористических решений. Мастер при жизни стал признанным классиком советской живописи. Его картины постоянно включались во все советские школьные учебники и хрестоматии.

 30 января 1973 года состоялось открытие выставки в Ульяновском областном художественном музее. Более 60 произведений художника посвящены 80-летию со дня рождения.

Ludus Magnus или Большая школа гладиаторов — одна из четырёх школ гладиаторов в Древнем Риме, крупнейшая из них. Построена при Домициане (81—96 гг. н. э.) в ложбине между Эсквилином и Целием, рядом с Колизеем. Сегодня в раскопе между улицами Via Labicana и Via San Giovanni in Laterano видны развалины более позднего здания школы, относящегося к периоду Траяна (98—117 гг. н. э.).

Название школы и история её постройки известны из античных источников. Также Ludus Magnus изображена на одном из сохранившихся фрагментов Мраморного плана Рима, созданного при Септимии Севере в начале III века н. э.

В центре комплекса находился амфитеатр с ареной в форме эллипса 62 на 45 м. Здесь проходили тренировки гладиаторов. Его окружали трёхэтажные кирпичные казармы, где жили гладиаторы и обслуживающий персонал. Ludus Magnus была соединена с Колизеем подземным переходом, по которому гладиаторы попадали в помещения непосредственно под ареной последнего.

Как и Колизей, школа была заброшена после того, как в начале V века Гонорий запретил гладиаторские бои. В VI веке арена использовалась как кладбище.

Развалины были обнаружены в 1937 году.

Good News: 3 Boy Scouts earn the rank of Eagle
The award is the highest in Boy Scouts
Cindy Holifield, Sandy Strickland
Three area Boy Scouts have achieved Scouting's highest honor, earning the rank of Eagle Scout.
Gavin Linn, 17, of Troop 288 became an Eagle on Nov. 3 at Ponte Vedra United Methodist Church. For his Eagle project, he built a storage shed for Christ Episcopal Church. He spent almost two years planning, raising funds and building it. Linn, a senior at Ponte Vedra High School, is the son of Steve and Laura Linn of Ponte Vedra Beach.
Nicholas H. Gieschen III, 18, of Troop 837, became an Eagle on Nov. 17 at Eastside Community Church. For his project, he built two picnic tables for Four Creeks State Park. He secured all material donations and supervised a team of Scouts over multiple work days. The tables are at the Forest Ranger Station. Gieschen, a senior at Greenwood School in Arlington, is the son of Nick and Ellen Gieschen of San Pablo.
Anthony Leonard Gray Jr., 18, of Troop 768 became an Eagle on Feb. 2 at Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church. For his project, he held a clothing drive and collected 19 boxes of clothes for men, women and children. The clothes were donated to Goodwill Industries. Gray, a graduate of A. Philip Randolph Academies of Technology and a freshman at Florida State College at Jacksonville, is the son of Cindy and Anthony L. Gray Sr. of the Northside.
Here's more good news:
¦ Rachel Kamps has released a song called "Run," to support the 26.2 with Donna marathon being held Sunday. Proceeds from the sale of the download will benefit The Donna Foundation. Kamps wrote the song because she wanted to inspire the community "to finish breast cancer" even if they can't run or volunteer.
"I set out to write a song that reflects the positive energy surrounding any effort like a marathon, whether it's fighting a disease, starting a business or accomplishing a personal goal," Kamps said.
The marathon begins at 7:30 a.m. from 200 ATP Tour Blvd. in Ponte Vedra Beach, to the Mayo Clinic, 4500 San Pablo Road, in Jacksonville. For more information, go to breastcancermarathon.com.
Kamps will perform the song at the 9 a.m. service at Christ Church Episcopal in Ponte Vedra Beach Sunday. To download "Run" for $2, go to rachelkamps.com.

Encyclopedia > Mercury program
Mercury program
The Mercury program was a manned spaceflight program undertaken by the United States of America, conducted during the years (1959-1963). It was devoted to the goal of putting a man in orbit around the Earth. It was followed by the Gemini and Apollo programs.
Mercury spacecraft were one-man spacecraft. They were very cramped; it was said that the Mercury spacecraft were not ridden, they were worn.
The program included 20 unmanned launches. Not all of these were intended to reach space and not all were successful in their objectives. The fifth flight in 1959 launched a monkey named Sam into space. Other space-farers were Miss Sam the monkey and Ham and Enos, both chimpanzees.
The name Mercury comes from the Roman god (it is also the name of the innermost planet of the solar system).
Six manned flights took place under the Mercury program:
Mercury 9 - launched on May 15, 1963
A seventh flight was cancelled when astronaut Deke Slayton[?] was disqualified for medical reasons. The on June 12, 1963 NASA Administrator James Webb[?] told Congress the program was complete.

"Trăiască Regele" (Long live the King), also known as the "Imnul Regal" (Royal Anthem), was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Romania between 1884 and 1948. The music was composed in 1861 by Eduard Hübsch, an army captain who later became the chief of the music department of the Minister of War. The lyrics were written by the Romanian poet Vasile Alecsandri in 1881, when Romania became a Kingdom.

It is derived from Hübsch's "Marș triumfal", the first anthem of Romania. With Trăiască Regele being adopted in 1884, both are essentially the same song.

Song of the Sea is a double feature: SIRENS and The Girl From Bare Cove, built to give a community the voice they need to heal.
Two shows intertwined. A voice for the voiceless.
SIRENS - A sideshow symphony based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, Oscar Wilde's The Fisherman and His Soul, Lorelei, and other water mythos. Set in the Freak Show at Coney Island, the waters of Gravesend Bay, and the liminal space between. With sounds inspired by the Vaudeville stage, sea shanties, Barnum and Bailey, and burlesque clubs, SIRENS is a dream. A nightmare. An exhibition of biological rarities and mundane regularities. At its deep, dark heart, SIRENS asks: What makes us human?
The Girl From Bare Cove - An original folk opera written for actor-musicians, The Girl from Bare Cove follows a family in crisis as they face the near-loss of one of their own. With songs inspired by the folk sounds of New England and a story rooted in the ghostly traditions and fairy tales of that place, this modern-day fable invites us to explore the communities we share and the worlds we build for ourselves.
Featuring the talents of: Austin Auh, Megan Caniglia, Grace Denoncourt, Jillie Mae Eddy, Emily Ellis, Tom Giordano*, Sophia Holtz, Brittany Parker, Keith Michael Pinault, Emily Pintel, Dave Register, Corinne Robkin.

Life reminded me recently how important it is as BI practitioners to keep the paradigm of program design at the forefront of our thinking and planning. Many of you know it: people before policy before procedure before technology. The interesting thing is that the reminder came not from my professional life but my personal one. Those of you who follow this blog already know how the line between those two sides blurs for me, and how one seems to be continually informing the other.
My readers also know how I like to spin a story in order to illustrate a point. Consider this one. Our family moved to a small community on the Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington last year and enrolled our daughter in a rather inspired alternative public school. Late in the school year a small controversy involving a teacher mobilized nearly every parent in the school. My wife became one of the spokespeople for the parents in our communication with the district leadership. Long story short, clear heads and a little bit of listening resolved the issue quickly. In the aftermath, though, someone nominated my wife and me as co-presidents of the PTO for next year. It is a small town; there is no getting out of it.
In preparing for a follow-up meeting with the school district superintendent, a group of us were assembling the agenda. What should have been a relatively easy task was uncomfortably difficult until I realized that we were jumping right to procedures without having established requisite relationships. The program paradigm, which I had learned years ago, popped back into my head and helped us bend our thinking back toward establishing the people part of the program – the relationships – first. Time enough for procedures later.
And of course that got me to thinking. It got me to thinking not only about how best to shape that meeting, but also about the criticality of people in shaping and managing BI programs and governance. My first challenge was a semantic one, the definition of a program. The concept is largely unknown in the education world and I needed to be able to articulate it for my colleagues. It is also not always understood clearly in the business world. Awhile back I blogged about BI programs, suggesting a definition for the concept. I went back to the article and was hugely disappointed. While the definition worked just fine for that one specific business technology discipline, it was too wrapped up in the jargon of business and technology to be useful anywhere else. That was a big "Aha!" moment. Our definitions for these important concepts need to be pan-applicable if they are to capture the key nuances that make them work. So here is my latest draft of a definition for program, crafted for a public school PTO. Not surprisingly, it works even better for a BI program.
A program is a set of activities, projects, and initiatives undertaken by multiple stakeholder groups and constituencies to achieve and maintain a shared vision or need.
This will not be my last revision of that definition, I suspect, but now it captures the starting point for the program paradigm nicely. And the flow of the paradigm has a rigorous logic to it that can keep us from wandering astray in developing any sort of program.
People: We must always put people first. People are what work, business, income, school, life, and everything else is all about. In establishing and maintaining a program of any kind, the stakeholder groups and the constituencies are at the center. What are their visions, desires, needs, and fears? How do we establish alignment across these groups? Even within a stakeholder group there is rarely alignment. My public school situation is a perfect example. There is not, nor will there ever be agreement across the parent stakeholders. But by working together to understand the collective visions, desires, needs, and fears of this group we build trust, which is the foundation of relationships. These relationships will enable us to come together in a shared vision that is three-dimensional, meaning that while we have achieved general alignment and buy-in, there is still broad variation in point of view behind it. Diversity with alignment is essential to good policy making.
Policies: Policies are the rules used to guide the stakeholders in their journey to establish and maintain these envisioned goals. Good policies shape behaviors that result in desired outcomes. The body of policies defines the environment in which the identified end state will exist, and how it will be maintained. Going back to the public school example, a good communication policy would enable the stakeholder groups (i.e., parents, teachers, and administrators) to have the information they require to be effective in their roles and not to be blindsided (resulting in loss of trust) by actions or decisions that affect other groups except in cases where legal or ethical circumstances prohibit. Policies drive procedures.
Procedures: Procedures are the specific processes we use to implement policies, achieve goals, and perform our work. Procedures can be formal or informal, but they form the structure of what specifically is to be done, along with when and how. The procedures driven by the communication policy would articulate the topics to be communicated, the people responsible for communicating them, the individuals to whom they should be communicated, and the appropriate media for doing so.
Technology: Technology comes last because while it is potentially very powerful, it is only an enabler. If the program has not attended to the requirements of the stakeholders, the policies are hardly likely to meet those requirements. Consequently, the supporting procedures are likely to be poor. Leveraging technology in such a situation only exacerbates the already spurious results. Applying this to the school example, no amount of email is going to result in role effectiveness and optimal trust if the appropriate individuals are not sharing the appropriate information with the appropriate people at the appropriate time. Instead, the resulting worm fight of email can spin out of control in minutes, returning quite the converse.
All too often in BI we are tempted to jump right into the technology. Some of the time, I think this is because the technology is the fun part. Mostly, though, it is because the value of the first three steps is not clearly understood. There is often the perception that if I am not writing code, then I am not doing my job. Certainly in building a detailed project plan or laying out a statement of work, the technology aspects are the last to come under fire. "Do you really need all this time for requirements analysis?" "Process design? There's nothing wrong with our processes." "What do we need data policies for?" Sound familiar?
So, what is the answer? The answer is to start at the beginning with the people. Each new project, each new client, each new program is an opportunity to establish and nurture relationships. Even with established clients, it is an ongoing process as roles change or as individual lives change. As part of those relationships, we continue to establish their individual and collective importance by enlisting those relationships in nurturing others. In other words, lead by example. If I don't have a good relationship with CFO Bob – one in which we have achieved some alignment on goals and vision – Bob is not likely to see the value in spending money for the two of us to establish relationships with CIO Gretta, even though Gretta's active participation in the new BI program is critical. Gretta is not necessarily going to jump onto Bob's bandwagon just because she is paid to. It is about her vision, desires, needs, and fears as well. And at the end of the day, it is all about trust.
I have written quite a bit about trust both in this article and my last. Trust does not mean blindness or inattention. More than once in my life someone I trusted has shafted me unexpectedly, and I think most people have experienced this. While trust is essential for successful working relationships, we must proceed with our eyes and ears open, and our intellects engaged.
Bottom line, following the people is really more fun even than coding. What I learn every day from the people with whom I work is far more valuable and stimulating than what I learn from a block of code no matter how abstruse. And while finding solutions for people problems is scarier, riskier, and more difficult than solving a technology puzzle, it is far more rewarding when we succeed. But oh, look at the time. I need to finish this code before end of day.
What are your top strategies for building trust in working relationships? Do you actively develop and nurture relationships in both your professional and personal lives?

CBO Warns $15 Minimum Wage Will Kill 1.4 Million Jobs; House Dems – Let's Do It!
Rusty WeissFebruary 14, 2021
House Democrats on the Education and Labor Committee voted to approve a $15 minimum wage proposal as part of the coronavirus relief package, despite warnings from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that it would put 1.4 million Americans out of work.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) celebrated the passage of a proposal to more than double the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour by the year 2025.
"It's a wrap," she tweeted. "$15 #MinimumWage passes the [Education and Labor] committee after more than 13 hours of debate."
CNBC reports that it is unclear if the minimum wage provision would survive inclusion in the final $1.9 trillion aid package due to strict Senate rules.
Still, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is hoping to get it through.
"We're trying to work as well as we can with the [Senate] parliamentarian to get minimum wage to happen," he told reporters.
It's a wrap, $15 #MinimumWage passes the @EdLaborCmte committee after more than 13 hours of debate. https://t.co/7OOQL3Il6q

$15 Minimum Wage Would Cut 1.4 Million Jobs – CBO
The vote supporting a $15 per hour federal minimum wage comes within days of a CBO report indicating such a move would cost 1.4 million American jobs.
Raising the minimum wage would lift 900,000 Americans out of poverty, the report adds, but 1.4 million would presumably dip down in take-home pay considering they'd be out of work.
"Young, less educated people would account for a disproportionate share of those reductions in employment," the CBO states.
Worse, they'd likely be out of the workforce for quite some time.
"In 2021, most workers who would not have a job because of the higher minimum wage would still be looking for work and hence be
categorized as unemployed," they write.
"By 2025, however, half of the 1.4 million people who would be jobless because of the bill would have dropped out of the labor force."
The CBO projects that Joe Biden's federal nationwide wage mandate would eliminate 1.4 million jobs by 2025.
Big-government mandates from Washington do not create growth and opportunity, they destroy it.

President Biden Supports Raising the Minimum
If House Democrats don't get their $15 minimum wage wish with this coronavirus relief package, President Biden has vowed to push for the pay hike at a later time.
"I put it in but I don't think it's going to survive," Biden told CBS News in an interview this past weekend. "My guess is it will not be in [the stimulus bill]."
That doesn't mean he's about to give up.
"I'm prepared as the president of the United States on a separate negotiation on minimum wage to work my way up from what it is now," Biden argued.
"No one should work 40 hours a week and live below the poverty wage and you're making less than $15 an hour, you're living below the poverty wage."
Sen. Bernie Sanders says he hopes Pres. Biden is wrong about a minimum wage hike being unlikely to make it in the final coronavirus relief package: "You cannot make it in any state in this country on $9 or $10 an hour. We've got to raise that minimum wage to $15 an hour" #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/7Cup5rofH1
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 7, 2021
A recent post by Factcheck.org indicates the numbers could end up being better than the CBO estimates, but they could just as easily be worse.
"There also is a 33% chance that between zero and 1 million jobs would be lost, and a 33% chance that the decrease would be between 1 million and 2.7 million jobs," they write.
A Biden adviser dismissed concerns about jobs being lost due to a $15 minimum wage.
White House Counsel of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein said "we have a tendency to focus on some of the big negatives."
Being jobless would seem like a pretty big negative for most Americans.

your finger nails can provide clue to your overall health?
our finger nails say a lot about how healthy we are.you can learn about some condition that could require medical attention.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nails/WO00055&slide=but do you know how to read the sign.
all I see here is for nail fungus. my nails are just very very thin and have dips and ridges in them I didnt see any thing about that in this place.
yes dear everything speaks its own language. the skin for instance. the colour , the swollen and the tight and glowing skin and the urine and the stool too!!
yes finger nails and toe nails are a good predictor of good health that is for sure.
Very good link. I never imagined that the aspect of your nails could tell so much about your health. I think that toe nails also can say similar things, for example in the case of limphedema in one's legs.
I have had my nails done (Gel) and the lady I know that does nails said the same thing. she told me it was obvious by the look of my nails that I am not a very healthy person.


Rice blast, attributable to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea, is likely one of the such a lot harmful rice ailments world wide and destroys sufficient rice to feed greater than 60 million humans each year. as a result of excessive variability of the fungal inhabitants within the box, widespread lack of resistance of newly-released rice cultivars is a huge restraint in sustainable rice creation. within the previous couple of years, major growth has been made in realizing the safety mechanism of rice and pathogenicity of the fungus. The rice blast process has develop into a version pathosystem for figuring out the molecular foundation of plant-fungal interactions because of the availability of either genomes of rice and M. grisea and a wide choice of genetic assets. This e-book presents an entire evaluate of the new growth and achievements on genetic, genomic and illness keep an eye on of the disorder. many of the chapters have been offered on the 4th foreign Rice Blast convention hung on October 9-14, 2007 in Changsha, China. This booklet is a helpful reference not just for plant pathologists and breeders engaged on rice blast but in addition for these engaged on different pathysystems in crop plants.

The Iowa Children's Water Festival is designed as an opportunity for the youth of Iowa to enjoy a fun-filled day, learning about all the aspects of water, including water quality, wise-water usage practices, uses, safety and fun.
The Iowa Children's Water Festival is held annually to increase the awareness that everything we do in our daily lives will in some way impact our environment, with a main focus on Iowa's water resources. Approximately 2,100 fifth-grade students attended the 15th annual Festival on May 12, at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), traveling from as far away as Council Bluffs, Davenport, and Muscatine.
The Water Festival is purposely designed to teach basic science from a fun, interactive perspective, so the students will want to learn and integrate what they see and hear throughout the day into their daily lives.
Fifth grade students are able to understand water concepts while they are still young enough to form their own value system. Students are scheduled into three classroom presentations, a large game activity, a stage performance, and an exhibit hall. In all they spend approximately 4-5 hours at the Festival. There is also a poetry contest prior to the Festival that allows classes to compete for prizes by writing and submitting a poem around the festival theme.
The Festival would not be possible without contributions from many organizations. The Iowa Association of Water Agencies (IAWA) has oversight responsibility for the festival. However, the Festival is coordinated by a steering committee with members representing IAWA, Des Moines Water Works, DMACC, Iowa Rural Water Association, Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, IA Section-American Water Works Association, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the US Department of Agriculture. In addition, each year there are approximately 40 classroom presentations, 20 exhibitors, and 200 volunteers who make the Festival possible. Many local and national organizations contribute generous in-kind donations and monetary donations. The Festival is very grateful for these contributors.
The Festival has been the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, Iowa Academy of Science; Governor's Iowa Environmental Excellence Award, Special Recognition in Water Quality; Outstanding Water Resources Educator Award, Iowa State University Water Resources Research Institute; and "Ding" Darling Environmental Education Award For Outstanding Environmental Education Program, Iowa Association of Naturalists Iowa Conservation Education Council.
Interested in learning how your classroom can participate? Each fall, registration information is sent to all fifth grade teachers in Iowa. Information is also posted on the Festival website, www.iowachildrenswaterfestival.org.


This monograph compiles the presentations of a two-day didactic seminar that HIC-HLRN organized at the World Social Forum III, Porto Alegre, Brazil, 26-27 January 2003. The program takes the participant/reader through a chronological process, explaining from general to specific the dynamics of colonization and institutionalized discrimination in Palestine. The analytical section is followed by practical annexes that inform about ongoing efforts to engage practically in the struggle to restore human rights for Palestinians on both side of the Israeli-occupied Green Line, providing also a directory of resources and partner organizations.


A massive "Atmospheric River" is set to dump nearly 10 feet, 3 metres of snow in California's Sierra Nevada mountains and several inches of rain elsewhere in the state on Wednesday and Thursday, compounding the flood risk after earlier rainstorms blew through the state.
Police in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties ordered evacuations Tuesday from areas damaged by last year's wildfires because of the risk heavy rain would trigger mud and debris flows on charred hillsides.
According to Reuters, significant road closures and travel delays were possible in the Los Angeles area given risks of flash flooding and rockslides, the NWS reported.
The new storm brewing out at sea will probably bring areas north of Santa Barbara up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) of rain.
As much as seven feet of snow was possible over 6,000 feet (1,829 meters) in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The first storm will reach the U.S. Midwest and Northeast on Thursday and Friday, gathering more moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
The second storm will hit the central and eastern United States through the weekend, forecasters said.
More than a month's worth of rain could hit the Los Angeles area over 2 days, AccuWeather forecasts Following one round of rain and mountain snow on Tuesday, an even larger storm system will further raise the risk of flooding, mudslides and avalanches from Wednesday into Thursday.
Los Angeles received over 1.75 inches of rain on Monday and Tuesday, and San Diego picked up just over 0.55 of an inch of rain.
AccuWeather meteorologists are forecasting that the Los Angeles basin could receive 2-4 more inches of rain beginning Wednesday night and lasting into Thursday night, bringing the potential total up to 5 or more inches.
The average rainfall for that area in January is 3.12 inches.
"Are you getting these reports from Haarp?"
I live on the Northern California coast... and we are being fumigated with chemtrails... many are packing up and moving to where there are no chemtrails. Some think California will be nuked with directed energy weapons via agenda 21. Those asleep at the wheel and do not move out of the war zone will be vaporized like in paradise, CA. I wish this were a joke also, if do your research will awaken to this. Some times easier to just fall asleep, and die ignorant, like thousands do every day with consuming glyphosate foods, drinks, gmo's, medicinals, street drugs, vaccines, media tell-lie-visions etc.... Prayers for USA !!!
if you care to explain this amount of chemtrails yesterday. but not seen like this in any previous days for a month, you may change your poor opinion.
Theinitiate.... how does it feel to be a sheep?
People always focus on the effect, but miss the root cause. EASY answered, "It's all GLOBAL warming". Personally, I am sick and tired of the expedient ,and political correct answers.. And what the H' is the purpose of Chem Trails , anyway. NO politician will never answer a straight question. Every day, things are changing rapidly, and almost too quickly to measure. Earthquakes, wacky weather are all signs of signs .

/* Test cases for the 'arguments' optimization: If a function does not
   reference arguments, then it need not be created.  These tests
   should check that arguments *is* created when it is needed.

   The optimization looks at the code of the function body: if
   arguments is not referenced and eval is not referenced then
   arguments is not created.

   But there is a second complication, namely, function.arguments is
   also available (in JS 1.3).  So the arguments object must sometimes
   be resurrected when it is referenced.

   A third complication is that the arguments object and its contents
   are first-class -- they may outlive the function activation.  This
   interacts with the activation record optimization, which stack-allocates
   activation records when possible: the optimization must not break this
   property of the arguments object.

Christine Hill's new design takes a practical, purposeful idea, the knot, and transforms it into a thing of beauty. Exquisitely crafted in 10ct yellow gold, this ring is a tangible reminder to hold on to everything that's most precious. Exclusive to the Knots collection. Dimensions 10.2mm wide.
Very Expensive for a bit of gold!
The ring is EXPENSIVE! It's just a bit of gold. I got it as it was unusual and different in design and have it on the wedding finger so this style can't be misconstrued as an engagement ring. The size runs large. Which I think MHJ know as they sent me a size smaller, and it still had to be sent back to be resized smaller, so it had to go down 2 sizes to fit. I think it might have to do with this particular style. I have attached photos.
