***Innate Spellcasting.*** The empyrean's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: greater restoration, pass without trace, water breathing, water walk

1/day each: commune, dispel evil and good, earthquake, fire storm, plane shift (self only)

***Legendary Resistance (3/Day).*** If the empyrean fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

***Magic Resistance.*** The empyrean has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

***Magic Weapons.*** The empyrean's weapon attacks are magical.

**Actions**

***Maul.*** Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 31 (6d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of the empyrean's next turn.

***Bolt.*** Ranged Spell Attack: +15 to hit, range 600 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (7d6) damage of one of the following types (empyrean's choice): acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, radiant, or thunder.

**Legendary Actions**

The empyrean can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. The empyrean regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

***Attack.*** The empyrean makes one attack.

***Bolster.*** The empyrean bolsters all nonhostile creatures within 120 feet of it until the end of its next turn. Bolstered creatures can't be charmed or frightened, and they gain advantage on ability checks and saving throws until the end of the empyrean's next turn.

***Trembling Strike (Costs 2 Actions).*** The empyrean strikes the ground with its maul, triggering an earth tremor. All other creatures on the ground within 60 feet of the empyrean must succeed on a DC 25 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Un sistema integrable es un caso particular de sistema hamiltoniano cuyas ecuaciones de movimiento pueden ser resueltas para cualquier conjunto de condiciones iniciales mediante cuadraturas. Estos sistemas admiten un número suficiente de constantes de movimiento en involución. El teorema de Liouville-Arnold afirma que un sistema con n grados de libertad es integrable si posee n constantes de movimiento en involución.

Definición de sistema integrable
Sea un sistema haimiltoniano definido sobre una variedad simpléctica  o, equivalentemente, sobre el espacio fásico del sistema. Se dice que una familia de funciones  definidas sobre la variedad simpléctica M (o el espacio fásico) es independiente si las 1-formas  son linealmente independientes en cualquier punto de M.

Un sistema hamiltoniano sobre M de dimensión 2n se dice integrable en el sentido de Liouville si su hamiltoniano admite n integrales de movimiento independienes en involución, es decir:
  para .
  para .
 .
donde  es el paréntesis de Poisson.

Ejemplos

Sistema que admite n variables ángulo-acción
Considerando las variables estándar ángulo-acción  cualquier hamiltoniano de la forma  es integrable con las integrales:

que están en involución en cualquier punto y son independientes.

Oscilador armónico
Sea un oscilador armónico con n grados de libertad y sean las coordenadas canónicas , entonces cualquier hamiltoniano de la forma:

Es integrable siendo las integrales de movimiento en involución:

Integrabilidad y foliación
Geométricamente puede demostrarse que la definición de integrabilidad en el sentido de Liouville garantiza que existen n foliación tales que la intersección de ellas son precisamente las trayectorias del sistema en el espacio fásico.

Laboratory studies and results of our work to reduce the x-ray exposure of xeromammographic examinations are described. Significant exposure reduction was achieved and demonstrated with breast phantom images through improved photoreceptor sensitivity and a higher sensitivity electrostatic image development process. The contributions of x-ray absorption and discharge efficiency of an experimental selenium photoreceptor are discussed. Development of the latent charge image on the photoreceptor with an electrophoretic process is explained, and the impact of key variables such as covering power and other toner properties on this process are analyzed. Phantom images of the present commercial xeroradiographic system are compared to those made with the experimental higher sensitivity process and are discussed in light of image quality criteria.


It can be hard to gather jewelry information that is meaningful and helpful. There is a plethora of information to absorb and it could be difficult to apply it to your daily life. The good news is that some of the best advice has been provided for you in this article.
Ensure you are certain how to keep your jewelery in one place so it is not damaged. A better idea is to keep the pieces separate by using boxes, hooks, compartments or holders. Don't throw piles into a box. This can harm delicate parts, and tangle some pieces with others, like necklaces.
Keep jewelry stored safely and away from both air and humidity. A drawstring bag or closed box offers the best protection from moisture in the air. Both air and humidity can lead to tarnished metal. You can restore the precious metals back to their former glory, but plated jewelry is different. Trying to polish those pieces can reveal the non-precious metals underneath, such as copper.
Knowing what type of jewel you are buying when you purchase jewelry is very important. Gemstones now come in natural as well as synthetic and imitation types. Imitation gems are made out of glass or plastic; natural and synthetic gems both consist of real gemstone. Natural stones are found underground and synthetic gems are created in a lab.
Do some price comparisons before you commit to buying a piece of diamond jewelry. Always see the piece up close, and compare it critically to any others you're considering. There are deceptive tricks that can be used to enhance a diamond, so you need to be on the lookout.
You will need to take special care when you are buying costume jewelery! These pieces are often put together with glue, which does not last as long as other methods. Avoid using harsh chemicals on these pieces, and do not immerse them. The best care is to wipe with a warm damp cloth and then dry with another cloth. This will keep your costume jewelry clean and shiny.
Put your make up on before the jewelery. Dust from your makeup can end up on your jewelry, and this can make it look dull. Earrings and necklaces are especially prone to this kind of contamination.
Make sure that you regularly untangle delicate, knotted necklaces. It's easy to get frustrated when trying to get the knots out of a badly tangled necklace, but try using some plastic wrap before you call it quits. Lay the necklace on the plastic wrap, and then cover it with a thin coat of mineral oil or baby oil. Do the untangling yourself with a pair of needles. Once it's untangled, use dish soap to wash the necklace and pat it dry.
Before you purchase a new piece of jewelry, consider what situations you will be wearing it in. There is no need to spend your money on a bauble that you cannot see yourself wearing. When picking jewelry, be sure to keep your clothing in mind.
When photographing a jewelry piece to sell online, aim to present it attractively, in a well-lit, close-up and clear photograph. Your customer can't actually see the jewelry, so they must make the decision solely based on your pictures. Make sure any photos of the jewelry focus on the item itself and don't have distracting backgrounds or additional items.
Keep yourself educated about jewelry. Thanks to the information presented in this article you can use jewelry to your advantage easily. These tips that you have learned will help you be successful when it comes to jewelery.

The property links P62 depicts object - P65 shows visual item need to be revisited in the light of the physical carrier discussion. For revision of this we need to take into account the Getty Categories for the Description of Works of Art.
To my understanding, the Getty Categories for the Description of Works of Art deal with depictions as part of the aboutness facet of the Subject Matter. this is not in contradiction to the current CRM.
The analysis of the depicts link is too specific. Calligraphical subjects seem not to be covered. The entity E36 Visual Item inherits the general "refers to" link, but this is fairly abstract over what it is optically about. The relation "P65 shows visual item" has overlap with the new proposed "is carrier of".
Any Physical Man-Made Stuff can show a minor visual item, without being designed as Information Carrier. P65 make no assumption on the essential role for the carrier.
On the other side, "is carrier of" comprises clearly non-optical contents, e.g. electronic contents not visible.
If a Physical Object shows a visual item, which depicts a Person's face, the Object clearly depicts that also. In other words, depiction by an Object can be seen as short cut of a path going through the Visual Item. The Visual Item lacks now the adaquate link.
A statue, a 3-D picture in a transparent substance may not be regarded as having a corresponding indirection through a Visual Item.
1. Change P62 into P62 depicts (is depicted by): E1 CRM Entity.
subproperty of "P67 refers to"
3: Create a new link: E36 Visual Item "visualizes (has visualization)": E1 CRM Entity, a sub-property of "P67 refers to".


I m renting my spare bedroom in my apartment in the beautiful suburb of Prahran .
The place has a large balcony and a roof top where you can chill out and drink a glass of wine or beer while you are watching the sunset overall r the city and st kilda bay 🌇.

Our Select teams play in highly competitive tournaments across the state and throughout the Midwest. Our U11-U14 teams play in four tournaments throughout the course of a year, while our U15-U19 teams compete in two tournaments over that same time period, including the Iowa State Cup and College Prep.
The purpose of going to highly competitive tournaments is all part of the Select program's goal to create highly athletic, competitive and team-driven players. By playing different competition at the highest level, they are tested, with the ultimate goal being to play well and possibly win the tournaments they play in.
You can get more information about the tournaments our Select teams play in by contact the Altoona Soccer Club today.

Did you notice a French theme happening on the blog? As soon as I remembered the French onion soup recipe I taught a few years ago, it also occurred to me that I had never posted this chicken and white beans recipe which I developed for a teaching trip in Southwest France many years ago. Cassoulet is an incredible, hearty French dish (actually it refers to the recipe as well as the vessel it's cooked in) with duck confit and sausages and chicken and white beans all stewy and luscious together. It also requires tons of time, like at least a full day +. And I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it's not realistic for me or most of the universe to spend that much time on dinner.
So I came up with a version that can be made quickety quick on a weeknight and although it doesn't have the richness and depth of a traditional cassoulet (which coincidentally was posted in the New York Times this week by Sam Sifton — check it out here), this one is also lighter and more in line with how I like to eat, i.e. not feeling super weighed down like I need a 3-hour nap after I eating, which is what I did after I ate real cassoulet in France.
I don't know what to call this recipe since I know purists out there will turn their noses up at the use of the word "cassoulet." But I will tell you this — my whole family loves it, even the picky one. And why wouldn't he? He likes chicken, sausages, turkey bacon and beans, even when they're touching each other. And for me, I'm not a big meat eater, so I might take a smidge of chicken and scoop up more beans and veggies for my plate. Everybody's happy!
To make this as healthy as possible, choose organic, free-range chicken and freshly made organic sausages without preservatives or nitrates. For the sausages, I just buy whatever is in the fresh meat case at Whole Foods that is organic and made with poultry since my family doesn't eat pork. I do not buy prepackaged sausages since most of them are loaded with the aforementioned undesirables. Feel free to use pork sausage and nitrate-free pork bacon if that's what you like.
Legumes are one of my favorite food groups and the kids love them, too. So rich in protein, fiber and low in fat, they are also incredibly inexpensive, especially if you make them yourself. But there's no shame in using cooked beans out of a box or a can. Lately I am favoring Trader Joe's organic beans in cans with no plastic liner – no BPA, no BPA sneaky substitutes either.
Eliminate the bread crumbs if you want, they're not essential. Add more broth if you want it more stewy. And if you have leftovers the next day, add lots of stock, turn it into a soup and call it "Cassoulet-style Chicken and Beans Soup." Bon appetit!
Warm 2 tablespoons oil a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chicken skin-side down or the sausages. Brown the pieces thoroughly on both sides.
Make the breadcrumb topping: Place the whole clove of garlic into the bowl of a food processor with the bread and 1 tablespoon of whole parsley. Process until crumbs are formed. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to combine. Set aside.
When the chicken/sausages are almost ready, add the bacon to the pan and sauté until the bacon is golden brown. Take the chicken/sausages out of the pan and set aside.
Lower the heat to low and add the onion and carrots. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add the drained tomatoes and wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Add the vegetable broth, 1 Tablespoon of parsley, the thyme sprigs, as well as the beans. Cook for 1 minute, until broth is bubbling.
Transfer the bean mixture to an 11 x 9-inch or similar baking dish. Arrange the chicken/sausages on top, then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the sides of the pan are bubbling and golden and the breadcrumbs are toasted and golden brown. If you want to make sure the chicken is cooked through, insert a thermometer into the meatiest part of the thigh and make sure it registers 165 degrees.
First, let me say I love the dinner planner. I anxiously look at it as soon as i get up on Sunday before we go to church. I do move the meals around to fit my schedule and I pretty much love everything I have made on here. I did not get to make this last week but I was able to make it tonight. I made it this afternoon and popped it in the oven when we got home from school. It was so easy! And pretty darn scrumptious! My husband would have preferred all sausage but I did add bone in chicken breast because that is what I had. I used the Applegate chicken/turkey Italian sausage. The bean mixture had so much flavor. I could just eat that by itself. On another note, I was at my mom's yesterday and the Whole Foods in Huntington Beach had whole chickens on sale for $2.29 a pound. I got a 4.31 pound organic chicken for under $10.00. I obviously don't know you personally but I totally thought of you when I saw the chickens on sale. 🙂 I also found the watermelon radish and used it in our salad tonight. So yummy! I have rediscovered my love of radishes in my salad. They actually remind be of my grandmother because she always put radishes in our salads. Thanks for another really great recipe. And I apologize for the novel tonight.
This looks like something that could be fantastic adapted to a crock pot, and finished in the oven with breadcrumbs. Have you tried that or is that for me to experiment?
This looks so yummy! Can you make the casserole ahead and bake it later? Also, I notice your photo has chicken and sausage. If I want to use both, should I just half each meat quantity (4 chicken and 3 sausage)? As always, thanks for the inspiration!


Passport renewal are in high demand but with the Easter holidays just around the corner passport renewals are set to increase considerably as people try grab those last-minute Easter deals. Thousands of travelers take advantage of the time off school and work by jetting off for some sunshine before summer, and with these last-minute booking comes a surge of people realising that their passports need renewing, it's been lost in a move or it's accidentally been put through the washing machine and they need to get their replacement urgently.
There have been many changes in recent months regarding not only the application process but also price changes and now with the uncertainty of Brexit there are changes happening almost weekly. Our aim is to provide you with all the relevant and up to information on passports renewals to ensure you are prepared for your upcoming travels.
As we have mentioned the passport process is changing and many things that we have taken for granted will no longer be available for customers after certain dates in 2019. Many of our customers are contacting us regarding the rules and regulations of their current passports and how that will affect their renewal after 29th March 2019.
We want to make customers aware of these up coming changes so you can not only ensure your making the right choices for you but also getting the most out of your passport to save you time and money.
This has come as a shock to many customers as this has not been widely advertised, up until now a Briton renewing their passport would have had any time left over on their old document, up to a maximum of nine months, added to their new one. Someone whose passport expires on March 1, 2019, for example, would have been able to renew today and still be handed a fresh document valid until March 1, 2029. Now, however, a new passport issued to them today will only be valid until September 13, 2028.
This effective means that many people have had the life of their passports cut down from 10 years to just 9 and a half years. You may want to consider renewing your passport before this change comes into effect, but please be aware some countries including Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Russia, Indonesia and the UAE, only accept passports with at least six months left to run and will not accept any months passed over from your previous passport, please check this before renewing your passport.
Many people are familiar with the traditional photo booths and the guidelines for passport photos but this is now changing. You can already upload digital photos to your passport application but as of April 2019 you will no longer be able to send in photos they will have to be uploaded onto your application. There are several ways you can upload your digital photo, please see below for further details.
• Get a friend to take one. They can use a phone, tablet or digital camera. We'll show you how to take a good passport photo and upload it.
• Go to a photo shop. You'll get a digital copy of your photo. Some shops can also give you a photo code, this is not yet available in all shops but will be soon.
• Go to a booth. From some booths in the UK and abroad, you'll be able to get a photo code with your printed photos. We'll show you how to use the code to retrieve your digital photo.
When taken your photo please ensure that you have your head, shoulders and upper body in the photo, do not crop or edit your photo. Also please do not wear and sunglasses or tinted glasses, if you wear glasses for medical reasons please remove these to ensure a clear view of your eyes and eyebrows.
Whether or not you will need a visa to travel to Europe after we leave the EU is still very much up in the air and could change if we leave the EU with no-deal, but as it stands at the moment The European Council said in a statement: ''EU ambassadors today agreed that, following Brexit, UK citizens coming to the Schengen area for a short stay (90 days in any 180 days) should be granted visa free travel.
The regulation distinguishes between those living in Britain and those who are citizens of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory which is now in the EU. As this is ongoing we strongly recommend you travel and visa requirements regularly for any changes.
If you need to replace or renew your adult passport there are several ways you can do this but which method you chose will depend on if you are applying from the UK or abroad, if you have already booked your travel and it is within the next 4 weeks, has your passport been lost, stolen or damaged? Please be aware or all of these factors when applying to ensure you use the correct service for your requirements.
If you decide to renew your passport in person you will be using one of the urgent services, which include the 1-week Fast-Track service and the 1-day Premium service. These are often used for people who are travelling in 4-weeks or less or have realised their passport expires shortly.
Please ensure that you are between 10 and 15 minutes prior to your appointment, this is to allow enough time to get through security. You must also ensure that you have no sharp items, such as nail scissors, metal nail files or weapons of any kind; you may not be allowed to enter the building and attend your appointment if you do.
You will pass through security which is very similar to airport security, metal detector and an x-ray machine for your belongings. This is for the safety of the staff and the public. Once you have passed through, you will be asked for your booking reference number, this is the number you are given when you make the initial appointment. You will then go on to a waiting area.
If you would like to renew your new passport by post you will first need to obtain a paper application form from your local Post Office. Please ensure you use a larger Post Office branch as smaller branches will not stock these applications. We recommend you collect more than one application in case of mistakes and errors on your application, you are only allowed 3 character mistakes per application otherwise it will automatically be rejected by The Passport Office.
Once you have completed your application in full using BLACK ink and in CAPITAL letters you will need to check if you require a countersignature on your passport. If you do and are unsure how to go about this you can see more information on countersigning your passport photos.
To renew online you must ensure you have all of the relevant information to hand, including all names, parent's details as well as your digital photo and a credit or debit card.
When filling out your details online please check all spelling before submitting as errors may cause delays and may incur additional costs. Once your application has been submitted online you will be sent your Declaration Form via email, once you have received this you will need to print, sign and date this form and send it in the post (along with any required supporting documents such as birth certificates and/or proof of name changes).
Applying for and renewing a child's passport slightly varies from renewing an adult's passport so please ensure you check carefully before applying or making any appointments.
If you would like to renew or apply for your child's passport in person and want to use the urgent services please see below for which service you can use as these are restricted for children's passports.
Details on how to renew your child's passport by post can be found above. It is important to remember is to ensure you have included all of the relevant supporting documents in with your application. If you do not have the correct documents this may lead to delays and more expense. Documents that may be required include birth certificates, marriage or civil partnership certificates or documents relating to any name changes.
Renewing your child's passport online is the same as for an adult, however if you are applying for a first time passport you will need additional information such as the child's paternal and maternal grandparents details.
If you are unsure of how to take a digital photo for your child details can be found with our Photo Guide.
If Scotland votes YES, will you need a passport to visit?


The impetigo is a contagious infection of the skin caused by a bacterium called Streptococcus or Staphylococcus Aureus.
These bacteria invade the skin where there is a pre existing lesion such as a scratch, eczema, wound, chicken pox, lice or scabies.
Impetigo generally occurs in hot climates or when the skin becomes hot and sweaty creating a moist environment for bacteria to breed on the skin.
This infection is transmitted by direct and indirect contact.
Direct contact: impetigo can be transmitted when somebody touches an eruption of impetigo, then touches another person.
Indirect contact: the germs can settle on cloths, towels or clothing which were in contact with the skin of an infected individual. Another person can then contract the germ while touching these objects.
The pustules can ooze, then burst and form a yellowish crust.
On the face: around the mouth and nose, on the scalp.
On the body: on the arms and legs.
Treatment of impetigo consists of keeping the skin clean, removal of the crusts and application of prescribed topical antibiotic and or oral antibiotics.
Maintain good skin integrity of those that suffer with eczema - use regular emollients and any outbreaks of weepy infected skin needs treating with topical antibiotic creams quickly.
In families with reoccurring symptoms - nasal swabs may be taken and if these show them to be asymptomatic carriers then treat with oral antibiotics.
Improve general cleanliness and environmental conditions if necessary.

30th April 2014 - The first Inca Digital Summit for Inca's global users takes place on 20th May, the first day of FESPA Digital 2014 in Munich. The event features industry game changers investigating the trends and opportunities facing print companies today.
Session One: Future Developments: This session looks at how inkjet printing is impacting a wide range of markets, with a focus on some of the innovative, value-added applications that are possible. Then Mark Clews of Inspired Thinking Group lifts the lid on what's driving leading brand's marketing strategies today and the changing role of print.
Session Two: Market Trends and Opportunities: This session includes Francesca Selby, Papergraphics, investigating digital printing for interior design and home décor applications; Till Schutte, The Coca Cola Company, looking at the power of personalisation and the Coca Cola 'Share a Coke' campaign in particular; and Chris Jones, Novalia, discussing the opportunities of interactive print with printed electronics.


We couldn't have asked for a better citizen science project to start off October, a month often associated with Halloween and all things spooky.
Introducing Bat Detective, a project that enlists citizen scientists to screen sound recordings of bats to classify their distinct calls. Bats are nocturnal, making them very difficult to spot with the naked eye, so a growing number of bat surveys are being done acoustically instead. Bat calls "leak" information into the environment each night through echolocation, which bats use to sonically navigate, socialize, and locate prey in the dark.
Citizen scientists from all over the world have already recorded about 3,000 hours of acoustic surveys. Bat Detective has split the surveys in 4-second snapshots, so there are actually millions of files to be sorted. With only a few scientists, it would be an incredibly tedious, perhaps even impossible task. However, with the help of citizen scientists like you, the job will get done much more quickly!
These classifications will be used to create a new algorithm to help researchers easily extract information from their sound recordings and more closely monitor threatened bat populations. Bats are an integral part of their local ecosystems, but one in every five species of bat will face extinction over the next 50 years.
"Bats carry out lots of 'ecosystem services' like pollination and seed dispersal," said Kate Jones, Professor of Ecology and Biodiversity at University College London and Zoological Society of London. "They also eat masses of insects. Losing bats means that all those services are degraded," added Jones, whose Bat Detective project was made possible through Zooniverse , a popular online citizen science platform.
Bats are also incredibly vulnerable to climate change, since their hibernation and migration patterns depend largely on weather patterns, so the success or failure of their local populations often serve as a early warning sign of the failing health of the local ecosystem as a whole. Need we say more?
Be sure to sign up for this sonically exciting and scintillating citizen science scheme! While you're at it, check out our other bat-related citizen science projects in our Project Finder. You can help the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with acoustic bat monitoring or identify Indian flying fox bats with the South Asian Bat Monitoring Program.
Coming soon: a collection of Halloween-themed citizen science projects. Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled!

Oxidative stress is part of the entire pathological process that underlies the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. Twendee X (TwX) is a supplement containing a strong antioxidative mix of eight antioxidants, which has been shown to have a clinical and therapeutic benefit in AD model mice. Here, we conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled prospective interventional study to evaluate the efficacy of TwX in mitigating MCI. The primary outcomes were differences in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Hasegawa Dementia Scale-revised (HDS-R) scores between baseline and six months for placebo and TwX groups. Seventy-eight subjects with MCI were randomized into placebo (n = 37) and TwX (n = 41) groups. MMSE scores at six months differed significantly between the TwX and placebo groups (p = 0.018), and HDS-R scores for the TwX group exhibited a significant improvement at six months relative to baseline (p = 0.025). The TwX group did not show any change in affective or activities of daily living scores at six months. The present study indicates that strong antioxidative supplement TwX is clinical beneficial for cognitive function in subjects with MCI.

Nationwide Housing Shortage Most Dire For Those at the Bottom
Post author By Jacob D. Fessler
1 Comment on Nationwide Housing Shortage Most Dire For Those at the Bottom
For those at the lowest rungs of America's economic classes, the affordable housing crisis is bad and getting worse. According to a 2011-2013 study released in 2015 from the Urban Institute, not a single county in the United States has an adequate supply of affordable housing for those in extreme poverty. Families classified as extremely low-income (ELI), or those making less than 30 percent of an area's median household income, have far less options today than in 2000. On average nationally, only 28 affordable units are available for every 100 ELI renter households. That represents a 25% decrease in the years since 2000, when there were 37 affordable units for every 100 ELI households.
In Hamilton County, there are 52,749 ELI households (making $20,600 or less), with only 17,972 affordable units. This amounts to around 34 affordable and adequate units for every 100 households. In 2000, there were 47 units for every 100 ELI renter households. As usual, most of Cincinnati's peer cities are facing a similar situation for their region's poorest residents. In Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), there exist only 31 affordable units out of 100 families today, compared with 44 in 2000. In Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), there are 35 units per 100 families today while there were 44 per 100 in 2000.
Since 2000, many rural and suburban counties have joined metropolitan counties in their extremely low numbers of available units per needy households. The change is visibly stark on the Infographic for the State of Ohio, As the Urban Institute notes, the most drastic changes have occurred in the Midwest, South, and West in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, and Nevada, where comparatively abundant ELI housing availability in 2000 has plummeted.
The last 16 years have also seen ELI families increasingly reliant upon federal assistance for housing. The Great Recession, rising prices in many metropolitan areas, stagnant wages, and lack of development mean that while only 57% of families relied on HUD in 2000, more than 80% do now.
Indeed, while the Urban Institute points out that federal assistance for housing has grown (albeit not enough), they also acknowledge that many in the US Congress frequently call for cuts to federal housing assistance provided through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Without this federal assistance, an already-dire situation for ELI families becomes catastrophic. Accounting for a theoretical total cut in federal housing assistance, there would exist only 5 affordable units for every 100 ELI renter household. That amounts to a mere 609,802 units for 11,341,484 ELI households. In Hamilton County specifically, there would be only 10 units for every 100 households. Cuyahoga and Allegheny Counties fair even worse, with only 5 and 3 units per 100 ELI renter households, respectively.
While the nationwide housing crisis has been much-discussed, including on this site, the true scope of the problem is most visible at the bottom of the economic spectrum. The biggest loss in affordable housing for extremely low income families has occurred mostly in unassisted units, highlighting the need for more affordable developments nationwide. Without increased federal assistance, along with more and smarter development across the nation, many will be driven to homelessness and unsafe & overcrowded housing.

ODOT Looking For Public Feedback on Reworked Eastern Corridor Program
6 Comments on ODOT Looking For Public Feedback on Reworked Eastern Corridor Program
The Ohio Department of Transportation is looking for additional feedback related to transportation improvements for Cincinnati's eastern neighborhoods and far reaching suburbs.
The survey comes after ODOT has said that they are backing away from original plans for the hotly debated Eastern Corridor project, which came under public scrutiny for its scope and potentially negative impact to established neighborhoods on the city's east side.
While the project will most certainly not be moving forward as originally envisioned, public officials are still looking to get a grasp on what kinds of investments could be made to improve traffic congestion and mobility options.
So far, ODOT has held public meetings in Newtown and Mariemont, and will hold meetings in Anderson Township, Mt. Lookout, Fairfax and Mt. Washington in the coming weeks – the next of which will occur this evening, from 6pm to 8pm, in Mt. Lookout at Christ The King Parish Center at 927 Ellison Avenue.
Those unable to attend that or the other upcoming meetings, are being encouraged to complete an interactive web-based survey. Taking approximately five to 10 minutes to complete, the survey asks respondents to rank the importance of the types of transportation improvements needed for the corridor, while also asking for specific location-based improvement suggestions.
The survey and public feedback for this effort is focused on what ODOT calls Segments II and III of the project, and is not limited to those who live or work in the study area, but rather open to anyone who finds themselves passing through the area.
Early results from the survey show that respondents want ODOT to focus investments on improving public transit, biking and walking options, and travel time through the corridor. While the travel time option could mean many different things, it may be connected to the other two top rankings for multi-modal transportation enhancements.
Projects not specifically mentioned in the survey include the Oasis Corridor commuter rail line, which also has been on the ropes lately, and the Wasson Corridor, which is still unclear how it will proceed with respects to a trail only, or a light rail and trail combination.
As UrbanCincy wrote in June 2015, a new local access bridge crossing the Ohio River, from Columbia Tusculum to Dayton, KY, could also greatly help solve access and congestion issues on the east side of the region.
ODOT officials say that the online survey will remain open until Wednesday, June 15. After this evening's open house in Mt. Lookout, the next meetings to take place in Fairfax and Mt. Washington will occur on May 4 and May 5, respectively.

Of the 490,222 workers in Hamilton County, 39% of them are commuters from outside the county. This is according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Compared to other similarly sized metropolitan areas, this is a larger than normal percentage. In Cuyahoga County, home of Cleveland, for example, only 28% of the almost 700,000 workers commute from outside the county; and in Allegheny County, PA – the center of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area – that number is 22% of more than 680,000 workers.
Hamilton County Commute Patterns [Washington Post]
The difference, some say, may be attributable to the fact that the Cincinnati region's job center sits directly on a state line, and borders three counties in Northern Kentucky.
However, in Jefferson County, KY, with a similar amount of workers in the county as Hamilton County, only 26% of employees commute from outside Jefferson County. This is in spite of the fact that Louisville sits directly on the Ohio River, like Cincinnati, with commuters crossing the state line from Indiana each day.
Perhaps further explaining the matter is the merging of Cincinnati and Dayton's economic activities, which increasingly promote cross commuting between Cincinnati's northern, and Dayton's southern counties.
Such commuting patterns complicate transportation management for regional planners. Not only does it mean heavy rush hour commutes, but also more unpredictable reverse commutes.
While Hamilton County was a bit of an outlier, it was joined by Davidson County, TN (Nashville), and St. Louis County, MO (St. Louis) with similar complex commuting patterns.

Hamilton County Pushes Forward With Latest Phase of The Banks
19 Comments on Hamilton County Pushes Forward With Latest Phase of The Banks
Phase IIIA of The Banks [Provided]
Hamilton County has awarded the latest bid package for a variety of trade contracts on the infrastructure work for Phase III of The Banks, which includes a 690-space addition to the Central Riverfront Garage and a one-block addition of other infrastructure south of Freedom Way.
All three contacts were valued at a combined $653,228; and all went to area companies. According to Phil Beck, project executive for The Banks development, Universal Contracting Corporation will perform site work, Geograph Industries will handle signage, and ESI will manage security of the site.
While not particularly large or sexy contracts, project officials say they are representative of the continued progress being made at the massive central riverfront mixed-use development.
"Awarding these contracts for work at The Banks signals that another aspect of the riverfront development is nearing completion," said Chris Monzel (R), president of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners. "This phase of the project sets the stage for more economic impact."
The University of Cincinnati Economics Center has estimated that, once fully completed, the first phase of The Banks will positively impacting the local economy by some $276 million per year – a figure they expect to grow substantially once later phases are built out. General Electric's new 338,000-square-foot Global Operations Center, alone, is projected to boost the region's economy by roughly $1 billion annually.
While Hamilton County is overseeing the construction of the infrastructure work at Phase III, the City of Cincinnati and the private development team is making progress on the vertical build of GE's new building, the 165-room AC Hotel, and 291 apartments and 19,000 square feet of retail within the first two phases of the project.
THP Limited and Burgess & Niple are in charge of the design of Phase III work, while Messer is handling the construction.
As of now, all the infrastructure work being managed by Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati is $29.3 million within budget; and project officials say that they have achieved 30% Small Business Enterprises participation on all work, but just 17.3% on phase three activities thus far. Beck also says that phase three work is on schedule to be complete by September.

How Do You Want OKI To Shape Future of Region's Transport Network?
No Comments on How Do You Want OKI To Shape Future of Region's Transport Network?
Cincinnati [Randy A. Simes]
The OKI Regional Council of Governments is in the midst of updating its 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. In the early stages of developing this plan, they region's designated metropolitan planning organization is looking for feedback regarding the types of transportation and land use policies it pursues over that time.
As of now, agency officials are looking for public feedback in the form of an online survey that takes less than five minutes to complete. It asks the public what kinds of transportation modes should be prioritized, where the region's transportation network is lacking, whether maintenance or expansion should be prioritized, and how you currently and would like to get around for your daily needs.
Planners at OKI say that the results of this public input will help define what types of transportation improvement recommendations are made in June 2016. This is critically important since OKI serves as the regional authority in charge of administering federal transportation dollars.
Over the past four years this has included $86.3 million for 77 roadway projects, $22.9 million for 12 transit capital improvements, and $6.6 million for 15 bicycle and pedestrian projects.
As with any planning exercise, the OKI 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (2016 Update) is based on a number of factors to help guide decision-making.
One of the most important baseline factors is population growth and the distribution thereof. For this, OKI is using 2010 Census data, and its preceding decades, as the baseline for future forecasting.
As a result, OKI is projecting that Hamilton County will lose 2% of its population between now and 2040, thus resulting in a loss of regional population share from its 40.1% today, to 35.4% in the future. In fact, based on those prior trends, OKI believes that Hamilton County's population will stand at approximately 790,000 in 2020 – down from the 802,374 baseline in 2010.
OKI 2040 Population Projections [Provided]
The problem with using these historical trends is that Cincinnati has seen a dramatic turnaround over the past decade – one that has reversed Cincinnati and Hamilton County's long population loss trend. This has been reflected in the latest population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, which say that Hamilton County has actually gained population since 2010, and now has approximately 806,000 residents. Meanwhile, growth in the region's outlying counties has slowed down considerably based on historical trends.
This is important because leadership at OKI has consistently said that it needs to continue to accommodate growth in the region's outlying counties, which means funds that could otherwise be directed toward mobility, safety and maintenance improvements are instead spent on capacity expansion.
While there may be an overstated importance placed on the need for capacity expansion, OKI planners do acknowledge the need to improve the mobility, safety and maintenance of the regional network. Of the plan's eight stated goals, none of them include, with perhaps the partial exception of Economic Vitality, the need to add capacity.
"In addition to its economic impacts, transportation also plays an important role in the region's quality of life," the report states.
"Transportation improvements have an effect on development, travel patterns and opportunities for all the region's citizens. The transportation system should be balanced so that no group or groups of people assume a disproportionate share of positive or negative impacts.
The survey will remain open until Friday, January 8. After that time OKI officials say that their staff will begin formulating a draft project list to recommend for funding. Once that list is completed, OKI will host five public involvement events in the spring to gather feedback on the recommended projects.
Now's the time to speak up.

Could you describe yourself using 3 photographs (or less)? Would you be able to capture your joys; your passions; what is important to you; the essence of the person you are and want to become?
Ludicrous, you may exclaim! Who would try to do that?
Welcome to the joys of online dating.
Before my family and friends start warning me about the dangers of online dating (I could meet an axe-murderer or similar) I must point out I wrote: I would SIGN UP for online dating. I did not write I would actually go on a date.
After all, I am the woman who went through a divorce she did not want after 35 years of marriage and then went through a sudden broken engagement after dating the man I loved for 2 ½ years which left me feeling like a discarded used ragdoll with a lot of….. How shall we say…..
So, let me reassure you I would be soooo highly selective there is probably a snowball's chance in you-know-where that I will actually go out on a date.
Where does one begin? Google is the online dating guru full of tips and countless articles. Apparently, the first step is: create your online profile and upload photographs.
But not just any photographs…..
The photographs must be current; no selfies; and you should show the fun side of yourself…… the adventurous side…… you are marketing yourself. Jazz it up a bit…. show some culture and love of outdoors and, of course, a little skin.
So, for example, I should post a photograph of me rappelling down a cliff while sipping a glass of chardonnay and wearing a plunging V-neck sweater.
I am perfectly capable of sipping a glass of chardonnay but if I had to rappel down a cliff you would need to drug me heavily and lower me down….. and it is winter …. all my skin is covered up.
Then, in the next article, they suggest you be yourself and be real and be authentic.
I made a list of things I like to do and what kind of person I am….. I am kind, friendly, cheerful, positive, reflective. I like doing things with my grandchildren; going to church; sitting on my screen porch drinking a cup of coffee and watching the birds while reading my devotional; working two days a week (for the guv-ment); going to lunch/dinner with girlfriends and laughing; taking walks outside; being healthy.
However, the way this is going I may be lucky to have one photo….. due to all the challenges.
First, I would not post a photo with me and my grandchildren so how do I convey I am an active and somewhat-off-the-wall Nana? Should I take a photo of me with their Play-Doh creations or sitting in their sandbox?
And being healthy-oriented ….. should I post a photo of me eating a spinach salad while sipping a glass of red wine and nibbling on a small piece of dark chocolate? Or I should take a picture of the spinach-fruit smoothie I make each day? I am sure that would make a healthy guy think… "yep, yes-sireee…she's the one for me".
If I cannot take selfies and I am single…then WHO is taking the picture? I did approach my son (as he has a very good camera that could work magic) about doing a photo shoot and we did and there was maybe ONE winner.
And yes…I can't believe I just wrote …I asked MY SON TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF HIS MOTHER TO PUT ON AN ON-LINE DATING SITE.
So, recently I got this wild idea I could do a photo-shoot of me at work as I am there two days a week. I enlisted a wonderful co-worker, LW, to take the photos on a day when my boss was not in the office.
To say these are dismal is an understatement—per the postings below. We took a lot of pictures and these three were among the best …. which tells you how bad they were.
When my boss goes on trips, he often brings a small gift item back to me and my co-worker. (He is a very thoughtful man.) One of his gifts for me was this Smiley Face Hoptimist who, when you tap his head, becomes perky and bounces up and down and wobbles around.
Question: why did my boss think this was a good gift for me?
Answer: he has seen me in action.
As I am trying (per the online dating sites) to create a "fun" atmosphere, I included Mr. Smiley in the picture. The end result: the combination of florescent lighting and puke-green (not my color) bland walls do nothing for my skin tone and wrinkles and Mr. Smiley looks like he would make the better date.
So we tried a different angle and went for the artsy look—a side picture with me looking down the hall over my computer. Assessment: I look a bit dazed and the electric socket and lamp cord needs to be photo shopped out as well as the phone cord AND what happened to my left shoulder? The jacket looks puffy—I look like I have a shoulder growth or I am in training to be a linebacker for the Chicago Bears.
Picture Three: Oh My Goodness…what is wrong with my hands? They look huge and deformed….. they look more like raw chicken parts. And the background—a cup of Starbucks coffee, my water glass, and hand sanitizer—sending a message that says I like a variety of liquids and I am a germaphobe.
This exercise has made me truly think about the pictures my family and friends are taking of me every single day … not with a digital camera but with the camera of their mind—the photographs that are stored in the scrapbook of their hearts.
The people who walk into my office…..do they see an uptight grumpy woman or a woman who smiles and tries to make their day go smoother? And my son and his family….when they see me…. the photographs they take and store in their hearts …. are they of a woman who is frowning and bitter or one who is laughing and enjoying her life?
And what about the clerk at Publix….. the new employee who keeps fumbling with the vegetables as she scans them…..what image will she take home with her…. a customer who scowls and keeps looking at her watch and sighs impatiently or a customer that smiles and encourages her to keep trying.
Those are the pictures that truly count….. not the artificial ones of my "looking-like-I-am-having-forced-fun" life.
The truth is…. my very ordinary life is joy-filled and exciting but it is not a life I can easily convey in 3 photos or less.
But it is one I am blessed to have.
I have no idea as to where this will lead. Once again, I am on a path where I cannot see the end. But I know this simple exercise has raised questions for me (and hopefully for you).
What photographs are being taken of you and are they ones your family and friends will treasure?
And if not…. Are you willing to change the picture?
First of all, you had me at "If I cannot take selfies and I am single…then WHO is taking the picture?" Actually, you had me at Mr. Smiley. Secondly, you're being too hard on yourself with the pics. You're lovely in all of them. My thing is that even though we kinda, sorta work together, I don't think the at-work pics are really YOU.
My heart's picture of you? You with a glass of Chardonnay nearby, a big smile on your face, in a little café near the South of France. Wouldn't that be Nice?
That would also be the perfect profile pic. So, when you're ready to board Air France, let me know and I'll grab my camera!
I totally agree…the work pictures are not me… in spite of Mr. Smiley! And I LOVE your idea of a great picture for me…wine, cafe. and France. I will keep that in mind! And you can bring your camera!
This was a great post, Janet. Funny, honest and interesting. I loved the idea of you rappelling down a cliff with a glass of wine in hand. I would pay to see that!
You are much braver than me. I would be like a duck out of water in the online dating scene. And only three current pictures? No fair!
I'll be interested to see if you proceed to the date stage on this. Keep us posted!
I will post an update next month along with the three (or four?) pictures….assuming I get that many! I am not really brave…..I am viewing this as a learning experience.
Let's see. I'm wracking my brain to think who LW would be. As far as the "photographs in our minds" of you, it is definitely the cheerful, laughing, fun, thoughtful and deep REAL Janet. I hate to see you sign up for an online dating site because it could never, no way, do justice to experiencing the live Janet. I love you!
Clerk's Office – L. Washington and we had a blast doing it! And thank you for your kind and encouraging words….. and ditto … love you back! See you and RR soon for lunch on the 8th!


A session controls the lifecycle of a connection to a message store database, and the execution of data storage and retrieval commands and atomic database transactions.
By default, a session's connection settings are read from a file, but settings can be assigned by any means.
The Session class is a concrete class from the MessageStore::Postgres library and namespace.
A SQL command is executed by the session object using the session's database connection. If the connection has not been opened, a connection will be opened before the command is executed by the session.
The result of executing a SQL command via the PG gem.
See PG::Connection.exec() and PG::Connection.exec_params() for more.
All database operations executed within a transaction will either succeed as a whole or be rolled back as a whole if any individual operation fails. If a connection has not been opened, a connection will be opened before the transaction is started.
Note that the transaction mechanism is used by message writers to write batches of messages as an atomic unit.
The connect method sets the session object's connection attribute. The connection is used throughout the lifecycle of the session.
If the session object already has a connection object when connect is invoked, the existing connection is used.
The session will return true if the connection is open.
Reset's the session's database connection.
See see: https://deveiate.org/code/pg/PG/Connection.html#method-i-reset for more.
The connection initialization data are provided through the capabilities of the MessageStore::Postgres::Settings class, which is an implementation of Eventide's Settings class.
The connection initialization data reflects the attributes of the PG library's Connection class. For more details, see: https://deveiate.org/code/pg/PG/Connection.html#method-c-new.
By constructing a session using the initializer, the session's settings are not set to operational values. A session instance in this state must still be assigned with operational connection initialization data before a database connection can be made.
The constructor not only instantiates the session, but also sets the session's settings to operational values.
In cases where reading settings from a file is impractical, a settings object can be constructed directly, assigned values, and a session can be constructed from it.
