We've Been Measuring Poverty All Wrong
Econ 101
A new study, with a more accurate poverty index, says federal assistance programs have been far more effective than once thought.

According to an economic study released this month, poverty-reducing programs such as food stamps and housing vouchers are almost twice as effective as originally estimated.
Using government administrative records for the state of New York, University of Chicago economist Bruce Meyer and CERGE-EI's Nikolas Mittag were able to test the accuracy of the Current Population Survey's (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC).
"The survey… doesn't do a very good job of capturing income because people are reluctant to respond to it," Meyer says. "They're reluctant to answer the questions about income if they do respond, and if they do give answers they're often inaccurate. More than 60 percent of people getting the programs for really low-income people, TANF [welfare] and state-level general assistance don't report it at all."
Before we go into the effects of under-reporting assistance, a brief discussion on defining poverty is necessary. The census measured the New York's poverty rate between the years of 2008 and 2011 as 13.6 percent, but strangely, the way the census measures poverty doesn't capture the effectiveness of government programs to lift people out of poverty because it explicitly leaves the means of assistance out of the calculation.
"It's foolish consistency," Meyer says. "It's because so many benefits didn't exist in the 60s when the poverty measure was first devised."
The poverty thresholds for different family sizes are based on a calculation of "the cost a particular food plan from the FDA in the 1960s," Meyer says. Since then, the thresholds have been adjusted according to the consumer price index. "The main problem with [using income to quantify poverty] is it doesn't account for taxes," he says.
"At the time, food stamps [and Medicaid were] just getting started, housing benefits were pretty small," he continues. "We didn't have the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credit in the 1960s, and now they're some of the biggest anti-poverty programs we have, so the world has changed since this poverty measure was devised."
Meyer and James X. Sullivan from Notre Dame advocate an alternative method of measuring poverty based on consumption rather than income. "We find that using what people are able to spend on food, housing, utilities, transportation, and other things give us a better measure of someone's material living standards than looking at their income," says Meyer. "Low consumption is more likely associated with ill health, not having health insurance, low education, not having air conditioning, dishwashers, or other amenities."
A good example is retired folks who might not have much income, but live comfortably on their savings, and if they already own their cars or homes they're not paying them off any more. A 2012 paper by Meyer and Sullivan (PDF) maps the progress of this alternative measure of poverty from 1964 (31 percent) to 2010 (5 percent), offering insights into the effectiveness of government programs to fight poverty.
Based on the results of the ASEC survey and under this consumption-based measurement of poverty, the study estimates the poverty rate in New York from 2008 to 2011 as 10.8 percent—but by using the numbers inferred from government administrative records, that number reduces to 8.3 percent, suggesting that government assistance programs are helping even more than was originally estimated.


I've been Looking all Over for One, I want to evolve my Poliwhirl Before I fight Lance, If there is a Place I can get it pre-E4 that would be great, if there isn't a place to get it pre-E4 can you supply a gameshark/gamegenie code? i've tried a few but they haven't worked.
>Go to Bills Grandpa's house which is where Bill lived in Red,Blue,Yellow (the route above Ceruleom City).
Then show him a staryu and you will get a water stone.
Uh . . . he said BEFORE LANCE.
Here's another way to get a water stone before Lance.
On Route 42 after you beat Fisherman Tully, get his phone number and if your lucky he'll give you a water stone.
Then use it on Poliwhirl and then you'll have a powerful Water/Fighting type at your disposal.
I know I answered several months later. I just feel like answering.
I reshowed it since it corrected an answer that was technically incorrect.
Ordinarily if it added nothing new, it'd stay hidden simply because it'd be irrelevant and would bump the question up unnecessarily.
What's a quick way to get a Water Stone in Pokémon Crystal?
How do I get the fire, water and thunder stones in Pokemon Crystal?
Where can you get stones other from Bill's Grandfather?
Where in Pokemon Black one, may I find a water stone?
Where do I get a Water Stone in Black 1?

Why can't I get a water stone or a metal coat?


As the English say, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting so I thought after the series about VMware AppVolumes and VMware UEM perhaps it is a good idea to show the working to you.
If you are looking for the series, look at your right, there is a history of the blog articles, May and June is what to look for.
I've created a video to show how to assign an AppStack and how to unassign one. In this video you see the effect VMware UEM has on the AppStack connection and why VMware has some work to do.
We ran into some issues with combining both products, one is that VMware UEM never get's a trigger that the Appstack is connected. This results in no shortcuts being shown for the user until that user will refresh.
At the time of the video I thought it would work at logon but after testing done by me and my co-worker Sven it showed that didn't work either, VMware UEM is refreshing to early.
There is no trigger action in VMware UEM as of now to detect VMware AppVolumes, I spoke to Raymond of VMware UEM and he said they were working on a trigger that would detect AppStacks being connected but only in a session, not at logon.

Superstar shines in the age of celebrity
Set against the social unrest of the London riots, the social media explosion and the cult of celebrity, Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical, like the gospel message it is based on, is more relevant than ever with the new arena spectacular show Jesus Christ Superstar touring Australia in June.
This was a point not lost on Ben Forster who stars as Jesus, the role he secured last year after winning the "gruelling" reality show Superstar prior to a tour of the UK.
"This is what proves that it is an amazing piece of work. It can be related to any time and place. If you hadn't seen the show before you could believe that it had been conceived last year," said Forster on a recent trip to Australia to promote the musical.
"You could believe that it's a completely fresh idea that would have been genius now and it was genius in 1970. It absolutely goes to the relevance of the message. It is an amazing story and it is an amazing concept.
"It's madness that a musical has been made of it and that it should work whenever it is performed. It's 100 per cent relevant."
Playing the Son of God opposite Melanie C as Mary Magdalene and Tim Minchin as Judas, Forster says he is "so pleased I get to act with him on stage".
"I couldn't have been blessed with a better Judas. And Melanie is just wonderful. Considering she's a Spice Girl and could be a diva, she's a superstar. She gets right in there in the thick of it and rehearses with everyone, putting her heart on the table as well. She's brilliant and I adore her."
Australian cast members for the tour include Jon Stevens as Pontius Pilate and Andrew O'Keefe as Herod — in this version of the show a game show host.
"Andrew Lloyd Webber is clever," said Forster. "The point of the show is about focusing on someone's downfall and how Jesus could have believed his hype. It's about how Jesus could have become a celebrity and that he would arrogantly question what God had planned for him.
"Part of all that is him being questioned by the public on a TV show. It's so relevant and using actors like Chris Moyles and now Andrew O'Keefe [for the Australian shows] is another strategy for the audience to believe in our concept for the show — it's just perfect."
Set among the London riots, the show begins as a Molotov cocktail is thrown at riot police and in the iconic anthem "What's the buzz" the stage is alive with Twitter and Facebook feeds.
With a global tour planned, following more touring in the UK later this year, is Forster daunted by playing the Son of God?
"I mean even if I just look at Jesus as the artistic role within the show, it's the hardest part for a man in any musical."
Two new shows have been added to the Sydney tour, be sure and check for dates and availability. To buy tickets, go to ticketmaster.com.au for NSW/ACT, ticketek.com.au for other states.

Another awesome short for Women in Horror Month 2018, this one is a lot of fun. It shows a whole ton of love for golden age horror and sandwiches, as such it bought a big smile to my face. Read and see it, below for yourself.
It's time to unleash that latest offering for our Women In Horror Month MASSIVE Blood Drive! This year we have a killer 30 filmmaking teams who have come together to bring awareness to blood donation. And a NEW PSA being released every single day!
Here's our next: "Sanguino" by Dayna Noffke.
dark humor, fangirl-infused enthusiasm and obsessive work ethic to Atlanta, Georgia.
travels have taken her from a childhood in St. Louis to stints in New York, Boston, New Orleans and even Branson, Missouri. Along the way, she picked up a degree in physical anthropology/primatology, logged time on a research project on mantled howler monkeys in Ometepe, Nicaragua, spent a few years as a high school special education teacher, and earned herself a roller derby name.
Halloween 2. Within two months, she had written and directed her first short film with a cast and crew full of friends, including Andrew Shearer of Gonzoriffic films. She had caught the bug and directed 9 more short films between 2009 and 2017.
Her film catalog runs the gamut from "backyard" no budget fare - such as the well-received 2011 film, MOUSE, praised for its naturalistic acting - to recent projects such as late 2017's Teaser, a lush burlesque-inspired period piece that is hitting the festival circuit in 2018.
Film Festival among many others. Her screenplays have been chosen as official selections and finalists in screenplay competitions and showcases such as Oaxaca Film Festival, Stranger With My Face and Filmquest.
Dayna is currently in development for a horror feature inspired by a classic Victorian short horror story, along with working on new short films and logging lots of time traveling with her family, visiting historical and haunted sites, riding roller coasters and forging friendships all along the way.

A State for the Kurds?
Posted By Lawrence Davidson On October 19, 2017 @ 1:58 am In articles 2015 | Comments Disabled

It was in 1916, in the midst of World War I, that Britain and France (pitted against the Germans, Austrians and Ottoman Turks) made their infamous Sykes-Picot agreement. In grand imperial style, they used this agreement to divide up the Middle East between them. It was a daring move, considering that the war was at a stalemate and the two allies did not know if they were going to win the struggle. Nonetheless, they went ahead with the agreement and in doing so made a number of decisions that continue to shape the region to this day.
Besides bringing traditional European imperialism forward into the twentieth century, what made Sykes-Picot infamous was the fact that it broke a significant previous promise made to the Arabs. By 1916 the Arabs had taken to the battlefield against the Turks. For their doing so, the British had promised to support the creation of a large Arab state. But this promise had always clashed with the imperial ambitions of Britain and France, and so, in the end, they secretly conspired to betray their non-Western ally. Among the eventual consequences of this betrayal, the "Arab state" was confined to what is, today, Saudi Arabia; Palestine (which originally was to be part of the Arab state) would become a "national home for the Jews"; Syria went to the French, and much of the rest of the region was given over to the British.
The Sykes-Picot agreement allowed for one further change. It made possible a state for the Kurds – a people who constituted the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. This state, known as Kurdistan, was to be carved out of territory within the eventually defeated Ottoman Empire. This intent was publicly confirmed in the Treaty of Sevres in 1920. The Kurdish leaders, who by this time must have been aware of the Western powers' betrayal of the Arabs, therefore should not have been surprised when, despite the treaty, the British and French betrayed them as well. The 1923 Treaty of Lucerne amended the Treaty of Sevres, and sure enough, the state of Kurdistan was omitted. The lands that would have made up the Kurdish nation instead become parts of Turkey, Syria and Iraq. Thus, the Kurds remained stateless. However, they never gave up statehood as a goal.
Now we can fast-forward to 20 March 2003, the date that President George W. Bush took the fateful step of invading Iraq. Bush had an array of flimsy excuses for doing this: Saddam Hussein's non-existent nuclear weapons, Saddam's alleged plot to assassinate Bush's father, the dream (really the nightmare) of forceable "regime change" as a way of making the Middle East safe for the U.S. and Israel, or perhaps just the cutting loose of neoconservative bellicosity. Whatever the president's depth of ignorance led him to anticipate, the invasion set loose forces that neither Bush, nor any subsequent U.S. president, has been able to control. Among these are the consequences that followed the falling apart of Iraq.
The Kurdish Issue Resurfaces
Like the destruction of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, the destruction of Iraq that resulted from the 2003 U.S. invasion opened up a Pandora's Box of potential territorial changes. Not the least of these was the possible creation of the state of Kurdistan.
Like the Arabs in World War I, the Kurds became a fighting ally of the West in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent Syrian civil war. The region's chaos allowed for the emergence of the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (aka ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh). ISIS turned out to be a grim and brutal manifestation of religious fanaticism run amok. Its growth threatened just about every state in the region, as well as the citizens of the European Union and the U.S. If stability was to eventually prevail, ISIS had to be defeated, and the Kurds played (and continue to play) a notable role in this fight. There is little doubt that one of their goals in doing so is to create favorable conditions for a Kurdish state.
For all those powers (Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq) seeking to reestablish the status quo ante, the prospect of an independent Kurdish state is anathema. Each state has Kurdish minorities and is afraid that an independent Kurdistan, even one carved out of another state's territory, would lead to or exacerbate Kurdish insurgencies in their own countries. The possibility that such a state might instead cause a lessening of minority Kurdish restiveness through voluntary immigration seems not to have occurred to the leaders of Iran, Turkey and Syria.
As Jonathan Cook has recently made clear, the question of Kurdish independence has been complicated by Israeli influence in this matter. The Israelis have long been keen on an independent Kurdistan not because, as some of their politicians disingenuously claim, the Kurds have a "moral right" to a state (so do the Palestinians). Rather, the Israelis have an undeclared but official policy aimed at "Balkanizing" the Arab states. They have been encouraging "sectarian and ethnic discord" in order to destabilize their neighbors. In other words, Israeli support of the Kurds is an effort to weaken primarily Iraq, and secondarily, Syria and Iran (Turkey is just "collateral damage" in this process).
One can hardly blame the Kurds for taking help where they can get it – in this case from Israel – in a fight for independence that has been going on for centuries. Nonetheless, one can also understand that Israeli meddling seriously frightens the other states affected.
Leaving aside the Israeli issue for a moment, the question that should guide policy here is: can Iraq be reestablished as a viable state? Putting the question more informally, in 2003 a rather stupid American president, working under the influence of Zionists, Iraqi nationalists bearing false witness, and witless neoconservatives, knocked the Iraqi Humpty Dumpty off its precarious wall. Can it be put back together again? The answer is, well, maybe – but there seems to be only two ways to do this. One is a near-genocidal war waged by regional powers against the Kurds. Alternatively, Iraq might be resurrected if the Kurds are willing to settle for half a loaf in the form of being an autonomous part of a confederated state.
Right now the future is uncertain. One has the impression that the Turks and Iraqis (whose forces assaulted the Kurdish claimed city of Kirkuk on 16 October 2017) are quite willing to try to solve the matter by prolonged war. This would be a big mistake. It would lead to an Iraq that may be technically united but in truth would be even weaker than it is now, and not really independent at all. Its northern region would probably be under the de facto control of Turkey and Iran, and the rest of the country would continue to be in a decentralized mess experiencing an ongoing sectarian civil war. On the other hand, a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish issue could lead to the stabilization of the rest of Iraq as a confederated state. Also, as part of a confederated Iraq, Kurdistan's autonomy can preclude an independent foreign policy, thus minimizing Israeli influence.
Despite the recent Kurdish vote for independence, their leaders must know this can only be made real if they can win a prolonged war against Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. Israel is not in a geographical position to effectively help them do this. And so, the Kurds probably cannot endure such a struggle. That leaves them with only one rational choice.
The Kurds are now closer to independent status than at any time since the near-miss days of World War I. Their best strategy is to make the best (if not the most) of that status within a confederated Iraq and end their interaction with Israel. This has to be better than a near-genocidal war in which they would be the victims. However – and this is the usual question in such situations – will the emotions roiling on all sides allow sanity to prevail?

Quick Facts about Emperor Xiandi
Emperor Xiandi was born in 181 CE.
His name at birth was Liu Xie.
He was a son of the Eastern Han dynasty emperor, Lingdi.
His mother was his father's concubine, Wang.
After Emperor Lingdi's death in 189 CE, Liu Xie became the twelfth and last emperor of the Eastern Han dynasty.
Emperor Xiandi had 7 sons and 3 daughters.
He had 2 wives (Fu Shou and Cao Jie) and 2 concubines (Cao Xian and Cao Hua).
Xiandi (Hsien-ti) means "Dedicating Emperor".
China under Emperor Xiandi: Rebellions and Abdication
Emperor Xiandi came to power during a rocky and turbulent time. Warlords had taken back their provinces and ruled in their own stead stopping rebellious peasants such as the Yellow Turbans and Five Pecks of Rice.
One warlord, Dong Zhuo, unable to tolerate the power the eunuchs had in the government, destroyed the Eastern Han dynasty capital, Luoyang, killing more than 2000 eunuchs in the process. The imperial records and library were destroyed. Although Dong Zhuo halted the eunuch's power, his destruction of the capital and the imperial records and library were his undoing as he was killed for these acts. Xiandi's brother, Shundi, the true heir apparent, had been killed and Emperor Xiandi's government was in shreds.
Moving from palace to palace, Emperor Xiandi ruled over nothing and no one. The military, governed by generals and warlords or petty province rulers, had control of the government and the empire. Emperor Xiandi was forced to abdicate the throne in 220 CE by Cao Pi (Ts'ao Pi), the son of Cao Cao (Ts'ao Ts'ao) from the western Wei region.
The Fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Emperor Xiandi abdicated the throne in 220 CE and died in 234 CE. The Eastern Han dynasty ended with Xiandi's rule.
The next era in China was known as The Three Kingdoms with the Wei, Wu, and Shu Han empires.

Let's Change the World with Smiles.
The smile is a special emotional expression that only humans can possess. A chain of smiles holds a peculiar power. People show smiles when they are happy. If people can develop happy feelings merely by a smile… then the town, the nation of Japan, and also the world may become happy with people's smiles as starting point.
"Smile Mirror" developed by OPEN INNOVATION LAB. is used to measure the smiles. Just look toward the Smile Mirror and smile, and a point score for the facial expression will be displayed. The unit of measurement is called an "Emmy," with one person's smile registering as many as 30 to 40 Emmys, and this is stored in the Smile Mirror. This amount is then purchased by a participating sponsor who returns it to society. This system, therefore, is a mechanism for achieving a charitable activity.
The charity campaign ran for about four months starting in April 2013, at Grand Front Osaka. Smiles totaling in excess of 4.9 million Emmys were gathered, with participants estimated to reach 100,000 people or more! Thanks to all of these smiles, we were able to hold a "Weekend Satoyama Camp" inviting to Osaka the children of Fukushima, an area hit particularly hard by the Great East Japan Earthquake. This concept series was honored with the 2013 Good Design Award.

Het complex van Koguryo-graven is gelegen in Noord-Korea en staat sinds juli 2004 vermeld op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Het complex bestaat uit 30 verschillende graftombes uit de latere periode van het Koguryo-tijdperk. De graven staan voornamelijk in groepen, maar enkele staan los opgesteld. De muren zijn bont gekleurd en beelden het dagelijkse leven en Koreaanse mythes af.

Koguryo was een koninkrijk dat het noorden van Korea beheerste van 37 voor Christus tot 668 na Christus. Deze tombes zijn bijna de enige bewaarde restanten van deze cultuur.

In totaal zijn er in China en Korea zo'n 10.000 graven van de Koguryo ontdekt. Een negentigtal hiervan heeft wandschilderingen. Dertig hiervan zijn als UNESCO werelderfgoed bestempeld en maken onderdeel uit van het Complex van Koguryo-graven. Deze beschilderde graven werden vermoedelijk gebruikt om leden van de koninklijke familie en aristocratische burgers te begraven.

De verantwoording van UNESCO om het complex als werelderfgoed aan te merken luidt als volgt:

De muurschilderingen zijn meesterwerken van de cultuur van het Kogury-tijdperk. De graven getuigen van technisch vernuft.
De begrafenisgebruiken van de Koguryo-cultuur hebben grote invloed gehad op andere culturen in het Verre Oosten, waaronder die van Japan.
De graftombes geven een uniek beeld van de cultuur, de begrafenisgebruiken, het dagelijks leven en de ideeënwereld van de Koguryo.
Het complex is een belangrijk voorbeeld van begrafenistypologie.

I've written myself a little bare metals program to explore some of the memory available to the cpu via the uart. I can do things like dump the registers to memory on launch, view chunks of memory, push data to memory, etc.
However I've come across something strange with the System Timers. I've noticed that the System Timer Compare 0 and 2 (0x2000300c and 0x20003014) are constantly ticking over and I have no idea why. Perhaps it's something to do with the GPU?
Yes, the GPU uses two timers. You should be able to use the other two.
Awesome, that explains that, thanks dom!
rupertr wrote: Awesome, that explains that, thanks dom!
Timer 0 is used for the GPU RTOS (threadx) as the timer tick (100 interrupts / second).
Timer 2 is used for lightweight timers than can call callbacks with microsecond (*) resolution.
(*) subject to inetrrupt latency.
Yes. Unless someone else also writes something useful using them and you want to run both apps together.
What do you need it for? If you just need to measure time, then gettimeofday effectively reads the system timer, and has microsecond resolution.
I'm designing a PID controller for which I need an accurate timing for the integration (d action requires constant timing interval). I was looking into the ARM timer for this, but in the peripheral manual they referred to the system timers for accurate timing.
How precise does the time need to be ?
For portable code I'd suggest you use the POSIX clock_gettime() call rather than gettimeofday() - The latter, whilst part of the POSIX specification, POSIX.1-2008 marks gettimeofday() as obsolete (according to the man page).
clock_gettime() was good enough for me. Not as good as a timer, but good enough. Thx!

Bjarke Ingels Group Completes Its First Public School
by Jeffrey Davidson November 12, 2019
In Arlington, Virginia, The Heights merges two schools into a showstopping 180,000-square-foot structure
BIG—Bjarke Ingels Group has designed its first public school, which welcomed its first students in Arlington, Virginia, this school year. Called The Heights Building, the structure merges two existing secondary schools under one roof into an 180,000-square-foot home that can accommodate up to 775 students.
Located on a compact urban plot, the building appears to twist up from the ground, with rectangular volumes stacked fanlike atop one another, resulting in spacious terraces connected by a central stair. BIG covered the finished structure with a smooth, white brick, devised to honor the historic architecture of nearby Alexandria. "Where the outside is materialized in a graceful white glazed brick allowing the sculptural form and the energy and activity of the inside to take center stage, the interior spaces are finished in a rainbow of colors providing an intuitive orientation across all levels from the ground to the sky," says Bjarke Ingels, founder and creative director of BIG. The AD100 firm worked with Leo A. Daly, who was the executive architect for the project.
The Heights Building now houses the H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program for 6th to 12th graders, which has a specialty in visual and performing arts, and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Program for special education students. In the works since December 2014, the project was estimated to cost around $100 million, according to the Arlington Public Schools website.
The Heights' striking appearance can be credited to the density of the surrounding neighborhood. Rather than build out, the team went up. Five stacked floor plates rotate around a central axis, creating plant-filled terraces above each story. In addition to the indoor classrooms, the school was designed to utilize these outdoor gardens as spaces for learning and socializing. The higher terraces were envisioned as quiet spaces for small groups, while the larger lowest-level terrace can be used for all-school and community events, in tandem with the 18,700-square-foot recreation field.
The project adds to a major year for the firm's campus projects. The Heights is BIG's fourth school completed within the last academic year, and its first in the mid-Atlantic. (Other projects include the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Glasir Tórshavn College on the Faroe Islands, and WeWork's WeGrow in New York.)
Heady architectural language aside, Ingels affirms that the presence of students is what truly brings a school to life. "I'm excited to see that the students have already made the school their own—not only have the walls become a canvas for their creativity, but also the glass façades!" he added. For what else is a sign of learning?
