2017 Detailed Population Estimates
Population Characteristics and Change: 2010 to 2017
Pennsylvania is best characterized as a "slow growth" state. The Commonwealth's population grew by approximately 100,000 persons from 2010 to 2017, an increase of only 0.8 percent. By 2017, our population was estimated at just over 12.8 million persons.
An Aging Population
The growth of the state's general population overshadows an important trend in Pennsylvania's changing composition: the elderly population's (age 65 and over) growth occurred at rate over 20 times that of the state's general population - an increase by 16.3 percent from 2010 to 2017.
Pennsylvania's age make-up skewed older than the nation in 2017 [Figure 1]. Pennsylvania ranked fifth among the fifty states by the sheer size of it's population age 65 and over (2.2 million) and seventh by percentage (17.8%). Pennsylvania has a larger share of older adults (starting with 48-year-olds) in every single-year age cohort with 5-year-olds representing the largest group. The youth and young adult populations constitute a larger percentage of the nation's population (with the exception of 18 to 20-year-olds) where the largest single-year age cohort is 26-year-olds.
Figure 1. Population age 0 to 84 years by single year of age in PA and U.S.
Pennsylvania's greatest increases since 2010 have occurred in the 60 to 64 cohort (+17.6%), 65 to 69 cohort (+31.5%), and 70 to 74 cohort (+29.4%). The highest decreases occurred in the 45 to 49 (-15.9%) and the 50 to 54 cohorts (-14.4%) [Figure 2]. The total population age 65 years and over grew from 15.4 percent (1.96 million persons) of Pennsylvania's total population in 2010 to 17.8 percent (2.27 million persons) of the state's population in 2017.
Figure 2. Percent change in population by five-year cohort.
Perry County (+32.1%) experienced the greatest percent increase in its population age 65 years and over among Pennsylvania's counties followed by Pike (31.5%), Monroe (29.4%), Chester (28.5%), and Centre (28.2%). The counties with the highest percentage of their population age 65 and over were Sullivan (27.1%), Cameron (25.9%), Wayne (23.8%), Potter (23.4%), and Susquehanna (22.9%) in 2017. Wayne, Potter, and Susquehanna Counties displaced Potter, Bedford, and Elk Counties as the third, fourth, and fifth-ranked counties by the percentage of population age 65 years and over in 2010.
A More Dependent Population
A population's long-term sustainability and the challenges that lie ahead can be determined by its age structure. An age dependency ratio [NOTENOTE: The age dependency ratio has a few limitations to keep in mind when discussing the dependent population. Not all persons of working age are working or independent; defining dependency solely by age and not considering other important characteristics like disability or unemployment limit the dependency ratio's ability to tell the full story. Headlines talk of an impending retirement crisis throughout Pennsylvania and the nation, and as such citizens are working past retirement years (65 years old). Therefore, it is not accurate to assume that everyone 65 years and over is dependent on the working-age population.] uses age to determine the ratio of working age citizens (15 to 64 years of age) to those whom are dependent (not in the labor force). The total age dependency ratio classifies persons under 15 years and persons 65 years or over as dependent and can further be broken down into elderly and youth dependency ratios. For instance, the elderly dependency ratio is the number of persons 65 and over for every 100 persons of working age (age 15 to 64).
The total dependency ratio for Pennsylvania was 54.4 in 2017, up from 50.2 in 2010 and increased an average of 0.6 per year from 2010 to 2017 [Figure 3]. The youth dependency ratio in the state remained relatively flat from 24.9 in 2010, experiencing an average change of -0.1 per year to end at 24.2 in 2017. Nearly all of the increase in dependent population can be attributed to the growth of the elderly dependent index from 25.2 in 2010 to 30.2 in 2017, an average growth of 0.7 per year.
Figure 3. Dependency ratios for PA by year.
Table 1 lists the percent of the population by dependency status and the dependent ratios for Pennsylvania and counties. Counties with the highest dependency ratios in 2017 included Cameron (81.4), Sullivan (74.1), Potter (72.5), Susquehanna (71.0), and Warren (69.3). The highest youth dependency ratios occurred in Cameron (34.3), Bradford (33.6), Mifflin (32.4), Venango (32.2) and Potter (32.1) counties. The counties with the highest elderly dependency ratios include Sullivan (47.2), Cameron (47.0), Potter (40.4), Wayne (40.0), and Susquehanna (39.2).

The counties with the lowest total dependency ratios include Centre (38.3), Philadelphia (47.7), Union (49.9), Forest (50.2), and Monroe (53.2). The lowest youth dependency ratios were observed in Forest (16.5), Centre (19.4), Union (23.4), Columbia (25.7), and Indiana (26.2) counties. Counties with the lowest elderly dependency ratios included Centre (19.0), Philadelphia (19.8), Chester (24.4), Delaware (24.8), and Lehigh (25.4).
Pennsylvania's population is getting older as evidenced by a larger percentage of its population in the 65 years and over cohort and its growing elderly dependency ratio. Pennsylvania ranked seventh in the nation for the percent of its population in the 65 years and over age cohort and ninth in the nation for its elderly dependency ratio - over 30 dependent elderly persons for every 100 working age persons - in 2017. By our projections, there will be 38 elderly dependent persons for every 100 working age persons in Pennsylvania by 2030.

Feature Jennifer King Quick Reads Small business
Roxie's Cottage
By Jennifer King
Fresh coffee is brewed in a pot just inside the door at Roxie's. Customers grab a mug from a large stack beside the pot and serve themselves their own coffee as they walk in the door.
It's not quite 4 a.m. on a Friday morning in Bowling Green, but the red and blue neon lights of an open sign glow in the window of a small white cottage with a red roof on the corner of Louisville Road and Old Porter Pike.
Inside Roxie's Cottage Restaurant, the coffee pot just inside the door bubbles as it brews the first pot of the day. Next to the pot are stacks of mugs, sitting under a sign inviting customers to serve themselves. Six empty tables, each surrounded by four mismatched metal chairs, sit vacantly under ceiling fans that blow even though outside the temperature sits at just above freezing. In the back of the room is the kitchen. Bacon and sausage sizzle on a griddle in the back, across from a counter where Roxie Hatler, 92, mixes hotcake batter in preparation for the day to come.
"Just about every day is about the same," she said.
At 4 a.m., Hatler officially opens the doors to Roxie's. At first, only a couple of people will occupy the restaurant at the same time, their early morning visits overlapping enough to fill in on the news of the day. If traffic is light, Hatler will stand by the coffee pot or behind the register and listen to their stories, chiming in when she has something to add.
Occasionally, a customer will help her serve during the early morning rush, but Hatler makes all the food from scratch by herself.
When 7 a.m. rolls around, the daily rush begins. Even the noisy brewing of a fresh pot of coffee can no longer be heard over the buzz of conversation that fills the small space. The bustle keeps Hatler occupied, running from sink to griddle to oven to plates to coffee, all the while serving her guests and making conversation when she can.
At 9:30 a.m., Hatler locks the doors. That is unless she has run out of food before that, in which case, she closes up early.
Hatler has been in food service for longer than she can remember. She moved to Bowling Green 55 years ago from Hart County to help start up a restaurant for an owner who was having difficulty making money and has been here ever since. She worked at truck stops and diners until 28 years ago when she opened Roxie's Cottage Restaurant.
"I've been real fortunate. I've had awful good luck in the restaurant business," she said. "It's the good people I have, that's what makes it."
According to Hatler, the majority of people who frequent the restaurant are regulars. Every now and then, she gets passersby who stop in and want to try it out.
"I get a lot of workers from out of town," she said. "They eat with me regular while they're in town, but when they leave they don't forget me because they tell everyone about me who's coming to Bowling Green. So, it goes on and on."
A distinctive electronic ring chime sounds off every time the front door opens. The chime alerts Hatler, who looks up from whatever task she is doing at the time and greets each new arrival, oftentimes by name.
Hatler says that word of mouth is the way news about her restaurant spreads.
"That's the way to do it," she said. "Good people, that's what I have. The best."
Nick Lawson, 69, is a Roxie's regular. He eats there almost every day of the week, making sure to stop in before he starts work for the day. Lawson says Hatler has been feeding him since 1972, but it's more than just the food that brings Lawson back time and time again.
Nick Lawson, 69, vacuums the main dining area of Roxie's Cottage Restaurant after the doors have been closed for the day. Customers like Lawson will often stay behind to "run the sweeper" or help Hatler clean up in some other way after the morning rush.
"It's like coming home to grandma's," he said, laughing. "That's what it's like."
For Hatler, the restaurant is home and her customers are family. Almost everyone knows each other; they all have a favorite table and a parking spot they like. If they don't know someone, they ask Hatler, who knows everything from birthdays and family troubles, to health issues and food orders.
"I've been eating with her so long, I don't even have to tell her what I want," said Earl Manco, 73, a neighbor and one of Hatler's favorite customers since he started eating with her in 1962. "I just come in and she asks if I want bacon or sausage and then she makes it."
After business is done for the day and the doors are locked, Hatler prepares for the following morning by peeling and slicing potatoes ahead of time.
Hatler prepares all of the food herself. She refuses to make anything instant, preferring to make everything from scratch. At the end of each day, after clean up is done, Hatler peels potatoes, mixes biscuit dough and pounds out sausage patties that will be stowed away until the next morning. She says preparing some food ahead of time makes the whole operation run much smoother.
"I do it all," she said. "But a lot of people, they don't know how because they didn't come up like I did."
Hatler says that she learned how to cook because "that's the way it was" when she was growing up. She also went through several food handling schools, although the classes she took mostly concentrated on sanitation.
"I hold 100 percent, which I am really proud of that," she said. "That doesn't come easy, you've got to watch everything. But I'm really, really proud of it."
Hatler has plenty of responsibilities to keep her occupied, inside and outside of her restaurant business. In addition to having her own home, Hatler owns a rental property right behind her restaurant. Until this year, she did all of her own mowing.
"I enjoy mowing and doing my work outside," she said. "But everybody kept after me to quit, so I did."
She still takes care of other maintenance on the property, and at her own house. Her black and white Jack Russell terrier, Squeaky, keeps her on her toes as well.
"He is feisty now," she said, laughing. "He is — he's precious."
Squeaky is Hatler's only boss. He likes to eat a lot and will sometimes wake her up early to do just that. While he eats, Hatler will have coffee and a piece of fruit before heading over to work.
"What I plan on doing is working just as long as I can, that's my future plans," she said. "Just staying in here and meet my good people. I hope I can do that."
Joy Beck, 73, is one of Hatler's customers who helps around the restaurant when she can. Beck isn't the only one who helps Hatler. Customers run dishes to the sink in the kitchen, wipe down tables and run the sweeper so Hatler doesn't have to do it herself.
"When this closes, it won't be the same," Beck said. "It can't be like this anywhere else."
On her birthday, customers bring Hatler flowers and cards, Beck said. The same can be said for Christmas and other major holidays. When customers go on vacation they bring back souvenirs and trinkets from their travels, all of which Hatler keeps and lines up along the divider between the main room and the kitchen. Since working at the restaurant by herself, Hatler hasn't been on vacation.
However, she doesn't mind staying put.
On the rare occasion that Hatler can't open the restaurant, she lets everyone know and then gets back in touch with them when she returns. Although she has had many people extend a helping hand over the years, Hatler rarely takes people up on their offers to assist her outside the restaurant.
"I'm not for asking, but if I needed to, I could," she said. "I just don't need to. I'm very independent."
Hatler attributes her independence to being a loner. Although she was married a couple of times, she never had children of her own. Even when she was married, she maintained her own business since she would rather be by herself.
"You get too weak if you depend on somebody," she said, sighing.
Except for a niece and a nephew, most of Hatler's family has passed away. She has outlived all of her closest relatives, therefore, the restaurant and the customers who frequent it have become her family.
"I think it's because that my family are gone and they've taken me in and I've taken them in and that way you don't feel all alone," she said. "I don't feel alone. I just don't feel alone."

I have been writing online commentaries for over sixteen years now. And when it comes to the depths of the GOP in terms of their hypocrisy, their narcissism, and their self-serving self-righteousness, it feels like I am sounding like a broken record, pointing out things that most people should have long accepted by now.
The most aggravating part is how the GOP has co-opted every criticism, pretended to be the victims, and then manufacture some alternate history where somehow every sin they committed could be traced to some mythical sin committed by someone else.
For instance, do you remember when Democrats booed and spit on President George W. Bush when he would make his State of the Union speeches? Do you remember when the Dems in both the House and Senate openly called Bush Junior a "traitor" and a "liar"? Go ahead and recall those specific instances.
That's because they never existed. At all. Period.
Were there protesters in the spectator's seats making that kind of ruckus? Yes, there were a few that did that. And those people were taken outside immediately by Capitol Hill Police. But those are not sworn members of the House of Representatives or the US Senate.
And yet conservatives and neo-conservatives will swear on a crate full of Bibles that the Democrats did those things and then some on the floor of the Congress. Yes, they will lie to the American people and they will lie to their own deity that these fictional things happened in order to justify their own revulsion of the current President. And their myrmidons will believe it happened and they will recite the fictional times when they saw or heard these things happen simply because they were told that they happened.
Sixty years ago, a despicable human being with an otherwise unremarkable history as a U.S. Senator made a speech in West Virginia where he claimed to have in his possession a list of names in the State Department that he said were members of the Communist Party. At first he claimed that list to have 205 names on it, then it was 51, then it was 57, then 81.
That abrasive and abusive despicable human being used fear and hysteria to gain power over his fellow politicians and over the rest of America. He pitted American against American, neighbor against neighbor. He rode a wave of fear-mongering that ruined lives and destroyed careers. He even preyed on the very armed forces that he once served in during World War II.
And he was never held to account for any of it. He was never forced to atone for the careers he's ruined, the jobs he lost, the families that were broken, and even the lives he drove to suicide. He was given a censure by his peers, which is no different than a slap on the wrist. It's like catching mass-murderer Ted Bundy after he killed his last victim (which was a child, by the way) and then just slapping him upside the head and letting him go with a "don't do it again" message.
That despicable human being was one Joseph McCarthy, and even after his censure, his fascistic hatred never stopped. He still claimed to see communists in every corner, in every facet of society. The only thing that truly stopped Joe McCarthy was his own demons when he drank himself to death. But the stain of McCarthyism continues even to this day.
And now it has been resurrected, picking up right where the despicable McCarthy himself left off.
On April 10th, 2012, Congressman Alan West of Florida gave a speech where he claimed that he knew of 78-81 members of Congress that were members of the Communist Party.
Yes, 81. The same "final number" that McCarthy gave almost sixty years ago of people that he "knew" were members of that same party. It should also be noted that those same "78-81" people that he claims to "know" are Communist Party members are all Democrats.
Much like McCarthy, Congressman West is a war veteran. Much like McCarthy, West clearly has no love for civil liberties. In fact it is said that his service record in Iraq is a reflection of that disdain.
And much like McCarthy, when pressed for this "list" on CNN, West simply waffled on naming names and doubled-down on his assertions that they somehow exist.
Well let's get brutally honest here… with all due respect to the office - and only to the office – Congressman West, much like the late Senator McCarthy, you are despicable. You bring disgrace to your office just as much as you brought disgrace to your uniform in Iraq.
By resurrecting the ghosts of a disreputable and dishonorable Senator, you do more than just resurrect a dead issue. You drag the United States Congress once again over the thousands of Americans who were victims of McCarthyism. Thousands, Congressman.
And they weren't all "liberal elitists" or Hollywood actors. They were schoolteachers. They were construction workers. They were Middle-class families. They were hard working people, and their friends, and their spouses. Even the children of McCarthyism's victims were victims themselves. Anyone that an accuser could link to their target became a victim as well.
Worse yet, Congressman, you do this in the name of political extremism! You resurrect the unpunished crimes against the American people for nothing more than ego gratification and to further balkanize the political environment with no regard as to the consequences of your actions. Those are not the characters of a political representative worthy of any measure of respect. Those are the characters of a sociopath.
This is what you are championing with your words, Congressman. The worst kind of politician; the disgraceful, dishonorable, disrespectful kind. And unlike Joseph Welsh, I don't have to ask if you have any sense of decency, because your party has long since proven it has none.
I can only hope that the vast majority of the American people have learned what you apparently have not. That they remember those dark days of American history in their proper perspective; that they recognize the lives that were ruined six decades ago in the name of political partisanship and some fascistic sense of loyalty masquerading as patriotism, and that they give a resounding "No" to bringing those days back.
And if that is too much to ask for, then people like myself will fight to make sure that, unlike McCarthy, you are actually held to account for your actions. Because I am tired of sounding like a broken record when it comes to the political molestation of the United States.

It Was Never About the Pilgrims
The Arab furniture maker in downtown Asmara wrinkled his forehead. Why did we need the table by late November? My description of hungry Pilgrims only puzzled him. Finally I blurted, "It's the American harvest meal." He nodded with a smile. Now he understood.
That was my first inkling Thanksgiving has nothing to do with the Pilgrims. Harvest feasts take place around the world. In addition, ceremonies of thanks for surviving a sea voyage, battle, or pestilence have a long history. After building Fort Caroline in Florida in 1564, French Huguenots sang a thanksgiving psalm and shared a meal. The next year, Spaniards landing at St. Augustine held a mass of thanks for safe arrival. Two weeks later they attacked Fort Caroline and slaughtered the Huguenots.
Early Pilgrims and Puritans in Massachusetts brought from England a practice of prayerful thanks for specific blessings, with either a fast or a feast. Although they disdained regular holidays like Christmas, their New England descendants came to enjoy yearly Thanksgivings unrelated to any historical event. Lydia Maria Child's poem "Over the river and through the wood" first appeared in 1844 as "The New-England Boy's Song about Thanksgiving Day."
A 114-word sentence by Edward Winslow, which mentions neither thanks nor turkeys, is the only firsthand account of the harvest celebration at Plymouth in 1621. Winslow's letter was virtually unknown in the U.S. until Alexander Young, a Unitarian minister in Boston devoted to local history, printed it in his Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers (1841). In a footnote, Young called the Pilgrim festivities "the first Thanksgiving." He added, "They no doubt feasted on the wild turkey, as well as venison."
Among Young's readers was Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book and author of the children's poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb." She published recipes for turkey and pumpkin pie. For years she lobbied to make Thanksgiving a fixed national holiday. President Lincoln made her dream a reality by proclamation in 1863. Neither Hale's letter to Lincoln nor his proclamation made any reference to Pilgrims.
How did a holiday unrelated to the Pilgrims get so tangled up in myth? More on that in next week's post. Stay tuned!

Such an interesting historical post. I can't wait for the next installment!
Forget whether I told you, my digging started with the cute hook that the same person more or less invented Thanksgiving as wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb." And the only reason I didn't stop there was that it turned out too many other people had used it already, so I needed to dig deeper for something else - and the more I dug, the deeper it got. Especially in next week's sequel.

So many interesting stories related to Thanksgiving traditions. I'd like to hear more about your Thanksgiving in Asmara. When, with whom? : ) Harvest thanks do make a lot of sense as the origin of the holiday. Thanks for the historical underpinnings.
This was back in the Vietnam era. and I was in Eritrea (which was then part of Ethiopia) as an army wife. It's high altitude, good for radio communications between Europe and Southeast Asia. Of eleven at the (custom-made) table, only three were women, and those were the days when women did the cooking except maybe a patio grill. It was better than the previous year, back in the states, when I was a newlywed and the gathering consisted of me plus six guys in the living room swigging beer.


Four outstanding individuals that are among the borough's finest will be enshrined on the Bronx Walk of Fame as part of the Bronx Week 2015 festivities.
Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. has announced that actress and television commentator Stacey Dash, early National Basketball Association star Dolph Schayes, longtime business leader and philanthropist Alfredo Thiebaud and actor and activist Malik Yoba will be honored during Bronx Week 2015, and have their names immortalized on the Bronx Walk of Fame, on the Grand Concourse near East 161st Street.
Bronx Week 2015, the 44th annual, will include more than a week of events from Friday, May 8 to Sunday, May 17. Many are free, and almost all do not require any ticket, with the notable exception of a star-studded gala called the Bronx Ball.
The honorees will have street signs dedicated in their honor on the walk of fame. All have roots in the Bronx, and Thiebaud was a fixture in the borough's business community as the founder of Delicioso Coco Helado before his untimely accidental death.
Dash may be best known for her role in the 1995 film 'Clueless' and as a contributor to Fox News, where she is a commentator on culture.
"I am very grateful to have been chosen to be a part of such an important and significant event in the borough of my birth, a place that left an impact in my life and made me who I am – Bronx Strong," said Dash, who has appeared in numerous television and film roles.
NBA all-star Dolph Schayes grew up in University Heights and led the Dewitt Clinton High School basketball team to a borough championship in the 1940.
He played in 12 NBA All Star Games and six All-NBA first teams.
Thiebaud helped create work for borough residents and brighten the spirits of those who enjoyed and continue to enjoy his flavored ice in summer.
"Alfredo was a friend, and he was someone the people of the Bronx could always count on for support. He created thousands of jobs during his career, and his business has become synonymous with summer in New York City," said Diaz.
Yoba is an actor in Fox's, Empire, a hip-hop drama that centers on a music industry heavyweight who is about to take his company public.
"This is an honor to be inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame, a borough that taught me the values of life and giving back to the community," said Yoba.
Diaz will be announcing more about Bronx Week 2015 at a press conference scheduledfor Sunday, May 3.

While away on a business trip in China I found a few spare moments to create something new and different from all the fishing products I have been working on. A quick sketch of a funky, high speed buggy was quickly scribbled down and after a few hours I had created the basic model inside Solidworks. I completed the model in about 12 hours from start to finish, even working on the rendering while sat in the back of a transit van heading to various suppliers!
This model is for sale priced at US$1,500 for a Solidworks model ready to render.
How I created the 3D model!
1. Accurate scaling of a cars proportions - what I mean by this is most RC cars have a really exaggerated look to them - I want to create a 1/12th car that looks like the real thing - only smaller!
2. Racing car performance parts - the RC technology has really moved on over the years and I want to design a car which uses these extremely fast components - the main issue at the moment is if you buy an "off the shelf" RC car you only get the cheap rubbish parts included and it takes a lot of time to learn what parts are best and to match up all the electronics, etc. - This car already has the best bits kitted out!
3. The handbrake feature - first of its kind for an RC car! - This feature is designed to make the car 10 times more fun because it can be used in a much smaller space - small technical tracks can be set-up in the back garden or in the living room and the handbrake feature opens up a lot of awesome possibilities for the driver. Also I would hope to design a controller for this car which is based on a PS3 or 360 controller that features an integrated handbrake trigger.

In areas with better soils this same system would be overkill. For this reason, these colours can work effectively in a foyer or dwelling areas. People usually attempt to plan their wardrobes and surround themselves with the colors that make them happiest. But it surely does make for great video when a mudslide or earthquake takes one into the ravine beneath. Some varieties of foundation methods which can be popular in a single area are unheard of in others. The problem is that the exact individuals who hired him for the undertaking unexpectedly are fearful for his or her lives. Then they hire a top-notch architectural designer, who has achieved tasks in other cities and made spectacular and radical designs. It is true that the top project will be spectacular in each regard, however getting the individuals to go for it is quite another matter. I sure hope you will consider all this and current your dreams with passionate streams. But when you may current with ardour, you may win over the crowds. With a bit of data about psychology, you'll be able to have some priceless insight into colour preference, and begin making design decisions that can increase your on a regular basis happiness ranges!
Many people have understood for a long time - at least subconsciously - that colours can affect our feelings. Today, psychologists have set out to higher understand the connection between colors and the emotional responses that they create in people, leading to some very shocking results. People get freaked out when things are too different, too radical, or not what they expect. These meanings can affect our emotional relationship with a particular colour, however the associations that exist between shade and emotion are much stronger than a mere aware association. Colors have assumed deeper meanings that range from tradition to tradition. Because the societal meanings surrounding colors can impression us on a subconscious degree, acknowledging the symbolism of a variety of colours can provide help to create a extra interesting feel when decorating your own home.. Often occasions, shade consultants recommend that you simply determine on colors based mostly on the perform in every of the rooms in your home. These are the rooms you need sunlight in; the rooms with all the costly windows. For this reason if you find yourself presenting a radical architectural design you must do it with passion, vision, and visual displays to essentially sell it.
Marketers are recognized for his or her powerful (and often exploitative) use of color psychology. By now, we've got in all probability all heard the reason that firms use pink and yellow in quick-casual dining establishments: these colours have been related to creating a sense of urgency in consumers, which might then stimulate the appetite. What combos does the designer use? Within the Midwestern and Southern United States it will be supported on stacks and stacks of concrete block; in the California hills it is even worse - houses on stilts! People like the established order, even in the event that they complain in opposition to it. The store ingeniously adopts a coloration which many people "associate with logic and communication. It is also serene, like the ocean, and calming to look at." But the shade is simply as necessary. People like the way things are, they usually count on issues to be the same. Once it is completed everybody will likely be comfortable, however it's extremely arduous getting everyone on the identical web page with someone else's radical thought. Take structure as an example and new radical designs, usually humans will say we need something very particular right here, one thing completely different, something that can revolutionize the concept and make this a spot where individuals will want to come and meet.
The attention-grabbing thing about human groups is everyone says they need change, however in reality no one actually does. Soil It's superb, every time a backhoe begins a new home foundation, how different soils may be from one building site to another. Since a non-public sanitation system is more expensive than connecting to a public system, the fee isn't usually thought of within the "base" price of constructing a house. Perhaps it can be positioned at the highest or backside - benefiting from the views from the slope however not incurring the costs of constructing there. A correctly oriented plan can save you a large number in gas payments. Soil kind can have a big influence on the price of development. For hand drawn plans, you may must make "reverse" prints yourself - easily accomplished at your local reprographics (blueprint) shop. Soils drain and retain water otherwise, and soils have vastly otherwise capacities to bear structural masses. Change makes them uneasy and when issues change too quick it makes individuals crazy. Nevertheless, individuals experience visceral emotional reactions to certain colours without ever analyzing their deeper symbolic meaning.
A current article in Businss Insider about colours and branding provides some great examples of these coloration decisions. However, marketers transcend this with more inconspicuous and powerful uses of shade. But what is the actual connection between coloration and emotion? A few of the plan companies in the nice Plains and Texas design their houses on concrete slabs - there's virtually no basis in any respect. In such circumstances a "grinder" or "ejector" pump could also be required to carry waste to the sewer top - at a value of several thousand dollars. A personal sanitation system is normally an "further". Since we're speaking about sunlight, now's an excellent time to deliver up the subject of vitality consumption.

Currently, one doctoral programme is available in the Doctoral School: "Changes of state and law in Central and Eastern Europe". One of the aims of our doctoral programme is to contribute to the education of the next generation of academics in the area of law at a high standard. Further, in the long run, we also intend to satisfy the increasing demand for PhD degrees to be an indication of the capability for a high level of abstraction, as well as of the knowledge and talent necessary for the application of the findings of academic research. Related to the above, we intend to develop the ability of candidates for (primarily applied) research, who will then, at a later stage in their careers, be able to put their high standard of knowledge to use in the appropriate area of administration or legal practice. We develop skills in capable individuals that enable them to use empirical and other academic research methods in a targeted and full-fledged manner, and to produce book-length, original publications in specific areas of scholarship.

Alessandro Baricco
He has described great international authors and their books as if they were a journey or an adventure film. This was enough for Elastica to fall in love with his Lectures, which we are now bringing to the theatre.
Distribution starting from the 2015/2016 season.
"Generally speaking, my lectures always have this goal: giving answers which in turn generate questions. This is how you reconstruct the chain of knowledge: by always coming up with answers that contain questions". This is how Alessandro Baricco describes his Lectures, a cycle which he has already staged with huge success in several Italian theatres.
The Lectures consist of four performances (possibly reduced to three), during which the writer from Piedmont deals with a different facet of knowledge every time: "On Taste" (The taste revolutions: the 'break' that joins Kate Moss and Maria Callas), "On Justice" (The Peloponnesian War told by Thucydides: the origin of the sense of justice), "On Time" (The flight of Luigi XVI, King of France and Tolstoy), "On Writing" (The writer's job: Marcel Proust). It is possible to attend the whole cycle or just one performance, because each lecture contains a complete narration in itself.
The staging is simple: there is just Alessandro Baricco, sitting at a desk, giving his lecture with the support of video footage which outlines and reveals his train of reasoning.
Essayist and narrator, Baricco's first work is Genius on the run. Two essays on Gioacchino Rossini's musical theatre. He has written numerous novels, the most successful of which are Castles of Anger, Ocean Sea, the theatre monologue Novecento on which Giuseppe Tornatore has based his film 'The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean', and more recently The Young Bride. On television he has been the protagonist of cultural programmes such as "L'amore è un dardo" [Love is a Dart], about opera, and "Pickwick", dedicated to books.
In 1994 he designed and founded the Holden School in Turin.

Heil Trump, an OtherWords cartoon by Khalil Bendib.
An American Mussolini
The GOP front-runner's calls for violence against his critics are no joke.
March 16, 2016 by OtherWords
As you probably heard, Donald Trump canceled a rally in Chicago after scuffles broke out between Trump supporters and opponents around the arena where the candidate was supposed to speak.
True to form, Trump blamed everybody but himself for this debacle. He eventually decided that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was somehow at fault — and even threatened to send protesters of his own to disrupt rallies for Sanders.
What was newsworthy was that Trump himself canceled the event. He normally revels in the clashes between protesters and supporters that erupt at his rallies.
These confrontations have become routine, with the real estate mogul usually egging on his supporters to "rough up" interlopers. He's cheered on supporters who've shoved, kicked, and punched protesters — even people who've simply stood silently at Trump's rallies.
Throughout it, he's had the gall to claim that he deserves credit for keeping the events as calm as possible.
Despite the incendiary tone of his rhetoric — that all Muslims are our enemies, that Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers, and that practically anybody who disagrees with him is an ISIS supporter or a "socialist" — Trump refuses to take responsibility for the violence he incites among his followers.
Indeed, he told NBC's Chuck Todd that he wasn't condoning violence, not even when he told a crowd shouting down a protester, "I'd like to punch him in the face." Darker still was Trump's reminiscing, "I love the old days — you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks."
Similarly, Trump said at an earlier rally that if supporters saw anybody with a tomato, "Knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. OK? Just knock the hell [out of them]. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees."
Combined with his offer to pay the legal fees of a supporter who assaulted a peaceful Black Lives Matter activist, that's a blank check for violence.
The American body politic certainly has seen demagogues in the past. Former Alabama governor George Wallace, who ran for president in 1968, 1972, and 1976, comes to mind immediately. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who ran for multiple state and federal offices in the 1980s and '90s (and has since thrown his support to Trump), similarly attracted fringe elements to his rallies.
But violence at American political rallies has never been acceptable, especially violence encouraged by the candidate. That's why comparisons of Trump with other American demagogues aren't an easy fit.
Trump's events are more akin to the old fascist rallies of figures like Benito Mussolini. The Italian leader and his "brown shirt" goons routinely beat protesters at rallies around Italy in the 1920s and 1930s. They targeted communists and anarchists at first, but graduated to socialists and then to all small-d democrats as they solidified their iron grip on power.
Trump's tactics aren't unlike those of the fascists who came before him. It goes something like this:
First, they isolate and attack marginalized people with little political power, like Muslims and undocumented workers. Later, they graduate to "socialists" and other opponents of dangerous right-wing populism. Finally, they play the victim and deny adamantly that they've done anything wrong.
Anyone who challenges them, they claim, just wants to tear the country down. "These people are so bad for our country, you have no idea," Trump has complained to his supporters. "There used to be consequences" for protesting.
But Americans shouldn't be fooled. Trump isn't at all unique or special. He doesn't have a gift for connecting with the common man. He's just a bully and a demagogue.

New Mutation in FECH Gene Linked to EPP, Study Shows
by Vijaya Iyer, PhD
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) with mild or no liver disease can be caused by two co-occurring mutations in the FECH gene, researchers report. One of the two mutations has not previously been described.
Their study, "Characterization of a novel pathogenic variant in the FECH gene associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria" was published in the journal Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports.
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a type of porphyria caused by mutation in the FECH gene. The gene is located on chromosome 18 (a non-sex chromosome) and carries the instructions to make the enzyme ferrochelatase.
This enzyme is involved in the production of heme, a molecule of extreme importance for organ health. Heme is an essential part of various proteins including hemoglobin, responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.
Lack of this enzyme leads to the toxic accumulation of protoporphyrin in the body. This leads to liver damage and extreme sensitivity to sunlight, the characteristic symptoms of people with EPP.
More than 90% of EPP patients have the same mutation (c.315-48T>C) in the FECH gene.
In this study, the researchers tested a family of Northern European ancestry in which three family members exhibited extreme painful sensitivity to sunlight and were diagnosed with EPP. They had little to no liver involvement. Genetic testing was performed on seven members of the family to understand the inheritance and genetic basis of their disease.
Researchers identified a new mutation (c.904_912+1del) in the three siblings (59–66 years old) who also carried the common c.315-48T>C mutation. The two variations were found in trans, i.e., they were on different copies of the FECH gene. Of note, people inherit two copies of each autosomal (located in a non-sex chromosome) gene, one from each parent.
The new mutation resulted in the deletion of a portion of the FECH gene between locations 904 to 912 on the coding sequence of the gene.
In the three patients, the protoporphyrin levels were also extremely high (>2000 μg/dl); in the family members not affected by the disease, the levels ranged from 90–100 μg/dl.
Researchers assessed the impact of the new mutation on protein synthesized from this mutated gene and found that this deletion resulted in the formation of a truncated (shortened) FECH protein.
"Genetic, biochemical, and functional assay results obtained for this family suggest that the unique variant c.904_912+1del is likely [disease causing] and thus causative of EPP," the researchers concluded.

Q: How to find the number of equal elements in javascript array I'm new to JavaScript so please help me on this problem:
I have array and I want to get the number of same values. My array is:
 var arr = ["red", "blue", "green", "red", "red", "gray"];

I want to output 3 because I have 3 elements red.
This is what I have done so far:
var numberOfSameElements = 0;
var arr = ["red", "blue", "green", "red", "red", "gray"];
for(var i = 1 ; i <arr.length;i++){
if(arr[i] === arr[i-1]){
   numberOfSameElements++;
 }
}

  console.log(numberOfSameElements);

I keep getting 1. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you so much!

A: You can reduce the array to a hash map to figure out how many of each word there are:
var words = ["red", "blue", "green", "red", "red", "gray"];
var wordCounts = words.reduce(function(counts, word) {
  counts[word] = (counts[word] || 0)++;
}, { });

console.log(wordCounts);

// >> {
//      red: 3,
//      blue: 1,
//      green: 1,
//      gray: 1
//    }

If you want the name of any words that are duplicated, you can filter the original array down:
var repeatedWords = words.filter(function(word) {
  return wordCounts[word] > 1;
});

console.log(repeatedWords);

// >> ['red']

A: Here you've used one loop and checked your current value with it's previous value. But you need actually two loops.
First one will pick a value. And second one will match the picked value with all others. I've used a found flag that checks if a duplicate value has already been found or not. Try this way,
var numberOfSameElements = 0;
var found = false;
var arr = ["red", "blue", "green", "red", "red", "gray"];
for(var i = 0 ; i <arr.length;i++){
    for(var j = 0; j < arr.length; j++){
        if(arr[i] === arr[j] && i != j){
            if(!found){
                numberOfSameElements++;
                found = true;
            }
        }
    }
    found = false;
}

console.log(numberOfSameElements);

jsFiddle

A: If you want to get the max number of duplicates find in the array, you first have to count them all. Then find the maximum repetition number (fiddle):
function getLargestNumberOfSame(arr) {
    var counterMap = arr.reduce(function (sameMap, item) { // create a map of same values
        if (!sameMap[item]) {
            sameMap[item] = 1;
        } else {
            sameMap[item]++;
        }

        return sameMap;
    }, {});

    var maxValues = Object.keys(counterMap).map(function(key) {  // turn the map into array of max values
        return counterMap[key];
    });

    return Math.max.apply(window, maxValues); // return the maximum value
}

A:  var numberOfSameElements = 1;
var arr = ["red", "blue", "green", "red", "red", "gray"];
arr = arr.sort();
var last;
for(var i = 0 ; i <arr.length -1 ;i++) {
    //console.log(arr[i],arr[i+1]);
if(arr[i] == arr[i+1]){
   numberOfSameElements++;
   last = arr[i];

 } else {
    console.log(arr[i],"repert",numberOfSameElements,"times");
    numberOfSameElements=1;
   }

}
console.log(last,"repert",numberOfSameElements,"times");

Staying at Cidade Maravilhosa Hostel... read in lonely planet that its not save around there, is it true?
where we've already written extensively on the issue.
Hey Julie, I think the beauties that u can find in Rio are all Huges in front of the dangerous...Good areas to stay: Botafogo; Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon.
To me the best area to stay is Ipanema. This area is full of turists and more safe. The u can find the best beaches and good restaurants during all day!
Hi! I live in Rio not very far from there! And I have many friends living on that street.
I can tell you that it is a safe place as any other in Rio. Just be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine! It is a very calm, residential area... And because of that, a bit deserted at night... Not many people on the street, so be even more cautious!
Which hostel is the best to use in Maceio, Brasil?!


The Morgan at 10 Fleet Street.
The time of year has come for our Annual General Meeting! This year we are joining it with our Christmas party. So fret not, there will still be whiskey on hand to whet your palate as well as finger foods to fill your belly!

Traditionalist Issues
SSPX Covering for Homo-Pedo Priests – Part 1
Galarreta's Complacency with
Homo Seminarian Urrutigoity
Patrick Odou
The Society St. Pius X (SSPX) is an organization that presents itself as being composed of highly virtuous Bishops and priests. This cupola projects to its lay members an idea that it is the true representative of the Catholic Church as she was prior to the Vatican II Revolution. Such an image is then passed on by the grassroots to the general public. If this were true, SSPX should be free from the vices and errors that characterized the post-Vatican II Church. Or, if some guilty homosexual and pedophile priests would appear inside its milieu, the grassroots and the public would expect that the guilty party would be punished in an exemplary way.
I started my research in order to check whether this spotless image paints the real picture of SSPX or makes a hypocritical façade. This research has generated a series, which begins with today's article.
Explosion of homosexual & pedophile priest crisis
With the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the Church opened the window to the world "to let the fresh air in." This "fresh air" brought with it all the errors and vices of the modern world including homosexuality and pedophilia.
By the 1990s, news reports of clerical homosexuality and the sexual abuse of minors (pederasty/pedophilia) were drawing public attention throughout the world. By the early 2000s, these reports exploded all over the world making global headlines in the media. The crisis continues to this day, in other words, for about 20 years.
The fuel that feeds this fire is the ever-increasing evidence of the criminal complacency of Conciliar Bishops, Cardinals and Popes with regard to these "sins that cries out to Heaven for vengeance." Some of the Bishops practice these vices, others protect and promote the perpetrators, and others feign ignorance. Still others only give lip service to justice, responding to victims, eye-witnesses, media and law enforcement personnel with empty statements like: "Oh yes, we will look into it" or simply chant slogans like "Zero Tolerance!" and "Total Transparency."
The relocation of sexual-deviant and sexual-predator clergy remains one of the most common tactics used by Bishops to cover-up these crimes.
Fr. Carlos Urrutigoity of the SSPX
Carlos Urrutigoity was a seminarian at Our Lady Co-Redemptrix Seminary – SSPX – in La Reja, Argentina, during the 1980s. He later was ordained a priest and promoted to professorship at Winona Seminary in Minenesota, until he was expelled in May 1997.
Fr. Carlos Urrutigoity
From 1981-1988, the rector of La Reja Seminary in Argentina was Fr. Andres Morello, who previously had been vice-rector. Fr. Morello was the rector during the entire stay of Urrutigoity at that seminary.
Against Urrutigoity, Fr. Morello and others made, according to author Randy Engel, "'grave denunciations in moral matters,'… [which were] set down in writing as part of a dossier given to Archbishop Lefebvre when Fr. Morello requested a canonical investigation of certain SSPX priests. … Accusations of homosexual behavior made against seminarian Urrutigoity appear in this dossier as part of a report entitled 'Document No. 2.' This report was signed by a group of priests and seminarians from the seminary of La Reja." (1)
Below are some excerpts from the dossier (Document No. 2). For reference purposes, I have numbered them. I will insert some commentaries and questions when deemed appropriate:
1.	A young layman who lived at La Reja seminary denounced Urrutigoity, "for entering his room without knocking previously. One night at about 3:00 AM he woke up and found him inside the room uncovering him. The excuse that Urrutigoity gave the next day was that he had entered the room in order to cover him. Before this situation the lad went to Fr. Canale, a priest whom he trusted. He laughed and said to him: 'The only thing I can tell you is to lock the door.' Fr. Canale was therefore fully aware of the situation and he never talked about it with the superior of the house."
Why would a "trusted priest" of the La Reja seminary, Fr. Canale, find Urrutigoity's late night actions laughable? Why has his disgust and rejection of this vice against nature become so lax?
Fr. Andres Morello, today monsignor, was the rector of SSPX La Reja seminary, below
"Ha-ha. The only thing I can tell you is to lock the door. Ha-ha"? Was this the pervasive attitude in SSPX seminaries regarding homosexuality? It would seem so. Why was this priest not repulsed and indignant about Urrutigoity after what the youth had just told him? Why didn't he immediately report this incident to the rector Fr. Morello and others in a position to confront the homosexual behavior of that seminarian?
Or did Fr. Canale not act because he knew that "Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta, the SSPX District Superior and other influential priests" would do nothing?
2.	On one occasion the same witness stated that "the seminarian [Urrutigoity] entered into his room and, finding him in bed, told him that he had a fever. The lad replied that he was feeling well, but Urrutigoity insisted that he had a fever and that, in order to confirm it, he was going to fondle his genitals to see if they were inflamed, and he did it."
3.	"One day Carlos Urrutigoity gave him underwear, insisted that he should get naked and try it on before him to see if it fit. He proposed that he take measurements every week of his physical development, naked and with his back towards the wall, which the young man refused to do."
4.	"He gave him a shot and insisted on massaging his buttocks, which he did. We finish here the testimony of the young man, and we wish to make it clear that these are not all the incidents, just those which we consider more relevant."
Fr. Alfonso de Galarreta, district superior of SSPX in Argentina, with Msgr. Lefebvre at La Reja seminary
5.	"A seminarian declares that being in the restroom he [Urrutigoity] touched him in his private parts, and that often he told him things about the private parts, among others that 'he adored his buttocks' (the seminarian had not yet received the soutane). He said: 'I adore your little round butt' (and made a gesture with his hands)."
6.	"Another seminarian tells us that he [Urrutigoity] asked him about the sexual life of his past and about his present temptations."
7.	"Two traditional young laymen declare that during a summer camp organized by Carlos Urrutigoity – with the inexplicable authorization of Bishop de Galarreta, who knew about the situation, and while the seminarian [Urrutigoity] was in the priory of Cordoba under observation because of his disciplinary problems – he went to the river with a group of young men. There he removed his clothes before the others and remained in underwear. One of the youngsters immediately offered him a swimming suit which Urrutigoity rejected, and in such attire he bathed in the river."
How could Bishop de Galarreta, who knew about the situation, allow Urrutigoity's presence at this "summer camp?" What is more, Galarreta authorized a known predator like Urrutigoity to organize and be in charge of this "summer camp" for youngsters. I believe that this constitutes an act of criminal negligence.
Given the length of the report about the seminarian Urrutigoity, I will leave the final items of "Document No. 2" for the next article.

As with other items that expose the Lefebvrists, the webpage address (URL) given in Randy Engel's book for footnote 176 leads nowhere. Those who wish to read it may do so here.

How Do You Get More Likes
on Your Facebook Fan Page?
I recently had a small business owner ask me about how to increase the number of Facebook "Likes". While Facebook marketing is certainly a legitimate social media marketing tactic, we must first discuss the value of a Facebook like to a small business.
Social marketing gurus have pondered the tangible value of Facebook fans for years. Last year, when Facebook decided to limit the amount of access you have to people who have liked your fan page (unless you pay for people to see what you post), they significantly reduced the inherent value – in my book. For example, I have nearly 3,000 likes on my fan page and I post typically once a day to my page. On average, 207 people see what I post each day. In the good old days, everyone who "liked" your brand saw what you posted in their news stream, but with every revenue model update that is rolled out by Facebook, the value of likes has diminished. That said, I still come across plenty of small business owners who generate a ton of business and customers through Facebook, despite the hurdles they continue to send up.
One such business owner is Laurie Eno, publisher of the Daily Corgi. The Boston, MA, based internet entrepreneur mixes fur and fun on her Facebook fan page. She started it in the fall of 2009 as a companion page to her blog, The Daily Corgi. These days she has over 19,000 (likes).
Ms. Eno says there are three things that have helped her build such a big following and high engagement on Facebook. Her first fan page strategy was posting frequency and consistency. "People come to expect regular activity on my page; they know what they will see on my page since I post several times a day." She says the quality of posts is important, even if it's "just" a photo. "Whether it's a cross-post from my blog, which derives more than 60% of total page views from Facebook, or a reader submitted photo story, I carefully curate what goes on the page." She has so much fan-generated material that she rarely struggles to find things to post to Facebook or her blog.
She has infused her Facebook page with her own voice, "I reply to peoples' questions, comments and messages on an individual, first name basis". She says that her readers and regular commenters largely make her page so engaging. "Readers can post their own photos on the page, and if they are especially good images I'll share them to the main wall of the page and when I do that, they feel their dog has "made" The Daily Corgi." She claims this is a real measure of internet fame. Once a week she features an adoptable Corgi or an update on a recently adopted Corgi too. "I sign the updates with my first name, I speak from the heart … and in return I receive equally heartfelt responses from repeat visits and new fans." She takes on testy comments as well. She discourages her readers from posting advertisements, products or services. And she prohibits breeder advertisements altogether. "I maintain a standard of conduct on the page that applies to everybody, no exceptions, no smearing or meanness is tolerated," said Ms. Eno.
She has also made her Facebook page a place where people can come with their grief over losing a beloved Corgi. "If a reader's dog is going in for surgery or facing a grim diagnosis, I post on the page about to rally moral support from readers," said Ms. Eno. She often gets 100-200 comments of support from her fans grieving dog owners. "People are getting more than entertainment; they are being supported and finding solidarity in a virtual community."
And all this dog loving makes money too. She started running ads on the blog last year, and the commission structure is based on web traffic; which is largely generated from Facebook. She has grown the fan page to 19,000+ without ever buying Facebook ads. She mostly uses her page to promote giveaways / fundraising efforts. She wants to add a third party app to generate revenue from Facebook, but is concerned about the platform's ever-changing rules. "The last thing, I want to do is run afoul of them and have the page taken down," said Ms. Eno.
As a blogger, she leverages her influence with corporate sponsors. She will post sponsored posts by major companies including Subaru of America. While her posts for her corporate clients appear on the blog, she cross-promotes the links on her Facebook page, Twitter andPinterest, too.
When it comes to getting more "Likes" on your Facebook fan page, Lena West, Founder of theInfluence Expansion Academy, suggests what she calls the C.Q.H. Approach.
C is for consistency. Ms. West warns that small business owners should not complicate things. "Rather than try to follow some complicated updating sequence, just make it a priority to be consistent in updating your Facebook page." This also means to be consistent in marketing your page on and off of Facebook.
Q is for quality. "Resist the urge to post anything and everything." Ms. West says make sure your content does one of three things, "It should either inform, uplift or entertain your visitors." Mix it up a little by sharing videos, images, poll questions and quick fill-in-the-blank exercises," she says.
H is for human. "Don't focus so much on always being "on brand"; show your personality to your target audience," said Ms. West. Be sure to tag your fan page from your personal profile to make it easier for your friends to become your fans too. You may also want to post something about your business on your personal page occasionally to remind your friends about your business.
If you work Facebook the right way, you can attach more customers and significant traffic to your business website. Just keep in mind that you do not control the platform, and it could change any minute.
