For centuries, individuals with disabilities were marginalized and hidden away. In more recent times, they were routinely institutionalized, denied education and subject to discrimination in employment, housing, transportation and many other aspects of daily life. But self-advocates and supportive family members have been tenacious in their efforts to bring about change, and much progress has resulted.
Following World War I, injured veterans began lobbying for services to prepare them to reenter the workforce. The Soldiers Rehabilitation Act of 1918, which provided training and financial assistance to veterans with disabilities, laid a foundation for later legislation addressing broader needs of the disability community. In 1943, the act was amended to extend services to individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental illness.
Throughout the Fifties, Congress established a framework for financial assistance to persons unable to continue working due to disabilities. By 1958, SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) extended benefits to the dependents of such individuals.
During the Sixties, inspired by the civil rights and women's movements, a disability rights movement emerged. Originating at the University of California, Berkeley, the independent living movement, which promoted self-determination and de-institutionalization, swept the nation. Frequently cited as the first disability rights law, the Architectural Barriers Act, passed in 1968, required that all federal buildings be accessible to individuals with physical disabilities.
The Seventies saw increasing attention to disability issues. In 1972, federal legislation established a national network of Independent Living Centers to provide information, training and peer support to enable people with disabilities to live as autonomously as possible within the mainstream community. The same year, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was established to provide financial assistance to adults with disabilities who had no work history. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 then prohibited discrimination against individuals with disability by any federal program. And by the middle of the decade, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act provided funding for all states for "free and appropriate" education to children with special needs. The new law emphasized the inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream classrooms by stipulating that they be taught in the "least restrictive environment" possible.
Passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 marked a watershed for the disabilities movement. Modeled after the Civil Rights Act, it prohibited discrimination based on disability by any local, state or federal program. It required that businesses with more than 15 employees make "reasonable accommodations" in order to include individuals with disabilities in their workforce. It guaranteed access to public transportation and telecommunications, and required that restaurants, stores and other public facilities make "reasonable modifications" in order to be accessible to people with special needs.
Congress passed IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) the same year, building upon the Education of the Handicapped Act. The new law required that students with special needs have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that parents must approve. Schools were also now required to pay for additional services and specialists needed by students to achieve their potential.
With the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992, funding focused on developing skills that would lead to careers for individuals with special needs, not simply entry-level jobs. And at decade's end, Ticket to Work and the Work Incentives Improvement Act provided training and other supports to assist SSDI and SSI beneficiaries in finding jobs.
Another major milestone for the disability community was the 1999 Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C. and E.W., which supported the right of people with special needs to live in community settings. The Court found that institutionalization of individuals with disabilities is discriminatory if "treatment professionals have determined that community placement is appropriate." This ruling has led to major efforts to move individuals with special needs from state-run facilities into supported living situations within the community. It has also begun to motivate movement away from "sheltered workshops" to mainstream jobs for individuals with developmental disabilities.
A self-advocacy movement involving individuals with autism, Down syndrome and others with intellectual disabilities has also begun to gain momentum. The goal of this movement is for individuals with cognitive disabilities to participate in the decision-making that affects their lives, including medical treatments, education, work and residential arrangements. It seeks to empower them and to have their preferences respected.
In 2002, the Help America Vote Act provided federal funding to make voting sites fully accessible to individuals with special needs. Ironically, some states continue to automatically restrict a person's right to vote if a guardian has been appointed for them, regardless of how limited the guardian's responsibilities may be.
In 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, first major human rights treaty of the 21st century. The U.S. Congress has yet to ratify it.
Several years later, Congress passed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, extending federal law to cover crimes motivated by a person's disability.
Enormous strides have been made through the commitment of individuals with disabilities and their families. But much remains to be done. Stereotypes continue to permeate our society. Individuals with disabilities suffer a much higher incidence of bullying and other forms of abuse than the general population. Unemployment is high and too many people wishing to live within the community remain institutionalized.
It will require continued advocacy and protection of the hard-won services and supports available through government programs to achieve full inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the daily activities of society.

The Xbox One X Review: Putting A Spotlight On Gaming

Introduction The Xbox One X Design Powering Xbox One X: Custom AMD APU Gaming at 4K Enjoying Media Power Usage User Interface Discussing Xbox One X with Kevin Gammill, Xbox Partner Group Program Manager Additional Gameplay Footage Final Words
It's amazing how time flies. Only four years ago, Microsoft launched the Xbox One, its successor to the Xbox 360, but the Xbox One was a strategic departure from the Xbox 360 in many ways. Microsoft bet big on a couple of key features, and while some of them were successful, others were not. The Xbox team has some very clear goals for their latest console, the Xbox One X, with arguably the biggest goal being true 4K gaming support. The idea of console generations is being expunged from our memory, with a new, more powerful console, but one that plays all of the previous model's games without emulation, and is a clear win for users.
First announced at E3 way back in 2016, "Project Scorpio" was the code name for what is now launching as Xbox One X. Microsoft, by announcing very early, set expectations very high for their new console, and we don't normally see these kinds of announcements, with as much detail, so early. But in the time since they first announced the new console, they've only provided more and more information on what is inside, to a level that we are not used to seeing in the industry. As an enthusiast of gaming, consoles, and general technology, it's been a refreshing take on what is normally a black box (pun intended) to most of us.
By Evan-Amos (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
We can't ignore the present, either. After jumping on the scene with the original Xbox, Microsoft was a bit of a surprise in the console space, bringing new ideas to the industry which have been emulated across other products as well. Network gaming with Xbox Live, and copying game data to device storage for faster access were just some of the ideas pioneered with the original Xbox. When the Xbox 360 launched, it was very successful thanks to a combination of price, features, and lack of initial competition.
When the Xbox One launched, there was likely a feeling in the development team that they had an established user base now, so the majority of that user base would transition to the new console, but the Xbox One has struggled to compete against Sony's PlayStation 4 in terms of unit sales right from the start. It was a tough lesson to learn, but brand loyalty was clearly not as strong in consoles as it is in other areas.
That's not to say the Xbox One has been a failure. Sales have been strong, and sometimes stronger than the Xbox 360 at the same point in its lifecycle. Still, with this generation, Sony has had the upper hand, and last year, around this time, they launched their own upgraded console, the PlayStation 4 Pro.
The Xbox One X is an evolution of the Xbox One, which itself had already evolved into the Xbox One S last year, gaining 4K support for media, and HDR support for media and games, as well as a small performance boost. But the Xbox One X is not a replacement for the Xbox One S, which is still going to occupy the lower end of the price spectrum. The X is meant to be the high end, competing directly against the PlayStation 4 Pro.
But before we look into what's new with the Xbox One X, it's important to dig into the history of the Xbox One, because unlike the Xbox One S, this is a much different system inside.
Going back four years, it's kind of amazing to see how much the original Xbox One, and its philosophies, have changed. When the console launched, Microsoft went all-in on Kinect, bundling a Kinect motion capture device with every console. At the time, they had big hopes for this technology, and by including it with every console, developers could guarantee they could target it. It was a big gamble, but one that ultimately failed. Microsoft eventually offered a console without Kinect, and the accessory has slowly died away. It is honestly for the best too, since Kinect did not work as well as promised, and it was seldom targeted by developers regardless.
The original Xbox One with Kinect
The Kinect was arguably the highest profile mistake of the Xbox One, but it was far from the mistake with the biggest impact. Microsoft played it safe in the design of the Xbox One, including 8 GB of DDR3 RAM. This might not seem like a huge deal, but in fact, this was arguably the single biggest mistake made with the original Xbox One. It had a cascade of repercussions in the entire Xbox design, which ultimately resulted in Microsoft releasing a console that had about 33% less performance than the competition. Let's dig into why that change had such an impact, so we can see what's changed with the Xbox One X.
The decision to go with DDR3 over GDDR5 memory was likely due to a worry from the Xbox designers that they would not be able to source enough GDDR5. At the time, there were real concerns about whether enough GDDR5 would be available, and when Sony put all their eggs in the GDDR5 basket, there was a chance that they would be limited in production because of this. Once again, with history behind us, we know that wasn't the case, but that's not to say that if Microsoft had also chosen GDDR5 that there would not be supply shortages which could drive up the costs significantly, as well as limit production.
The decision to go with DDR3, which was implemented with a 256-bit bus, limited the Xbox One's system memory bandwidth to 68.3 GB/s, compared to the PS4 which had 176 GB/s with its GDDR5. To help make up the difference, Microsoft implemented 32 MB of eSRAM on the SoC itself, which was an addressable section of memory with up to 204 GB/s of bandwidth (102 GB/s each direction) where developers could target specific assets. It wasn't a cache, to be clear, and required extra work by the game developers to take advantage of this.
The eSRAM ate up a lot of space on the SoC, meaning Microsoft had to cut back on other components in order to keep their APU within their size budget. That meant cutting down to 12 compute units (CUs), compared to 18 in the PlayStation 4, and likely more importantly, cutting down to 16 raster operations pipelines (ROPs), compared to 32 in the PS4. As much as the CUs get the headlines, it's likely the ROP total that impacted the ability of the Xbox One to target 1080p the most. But, this all stems from the decision to leverage DDR3.
Partially because of Kinect, Microsoft targeted a $499 price point for the original Xbox One, which was $100 higher than the more powerful PlayStation 4. With the benefit of hindsight, it was clear that Microsoft made some poor decisions when designing the original Xbox One. The question is, what have they learned from those mistakes?
Gaming First
When the Xbox One first launched in 2013, the marketing message around the console was decidedly mixed, with Microsoft promoting the media capabilities of the device to a strong degree. With some management changes, the new Xbox team is decidedly gaming first. The new console is designed for gamers, and the marketing and messaging around it targets gamers. That can be seen specifically around the introduction of Xbox backwards compatibility, which first brought Xbox 360 games to the Xbox One, and has just recently been extended to some original Xbox titles as well.

Microsoft now knows that performance is critical. You could easily argue that both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both launched with hardware that could struggle with 1080p gaming, but the Xbox One felt that impact sooner, meaning games had to be scaled back on the Xbox One to avoid hiccups during game play. Microsoft wants to avoid that with this round of console updates by offering 6 TFLOPS of peak shader throughput, compared to 1.31 TFLOPS in the original console. This is almost five times the shader performance of the original Xbox One, and 1.42 times the peak shader throughput of the PlayStation 4 Pro.
You can see the gaming focus in other areas as well. Microsoft launched the Xbox One Elite controller back in 2015, and they added the Xbox Design Labs shortly after where you can create your own custom controller design. They've added the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, and partnered with EA on the EA Access as well. In short, after some missteps, the Xbox team is focusing on gaming again, and it shows.

The 4/8 memory split is actually wrong, since Microsoft changed it to 3/9 a while back. See http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2...
alistair.brogan - Friday, November 3, 2017 - link
yes the downside was a 1080p interface even for the xbox one x, but they reserved more of the memory for games
Brett Howse - Friday, November 3, 2017 - link
Fixed! Didn't realize they changed it but that's what happens when they announce things like this in tweets :)

Will Microsoft EVER have a custom version of Win 10 like the "Windows on Arm" that will boot to this console from a USB SSD or Thumb Drive?
and what exactly is the USB? 3.0? 3.1?
and what formats of Audio and Video media can be played from an external USB device?
I meant USB Gen1 or Gen2 ?

You made an small error/typo, Xbox One original clocks in at 1.31 teraflops, not 1.23. You're not accounting for the late overclock it got from 800mhz to 853 mhz.

Right you are. Thanks!

The main problem with the XBox One was the Project Head was not a console guy. He was a playboy multi-millionaire on a win win contract to boost his ego. Hence he quit a few days after release with a bundle of cash.
The main problem with Windows 8 was the Project Head was not a OS guy. He was a playboy multi-millionaire on a win win contract to boost his ego. Hence he quit a few days after release with a bundle of cash.
Boy MS was in a mess a few years ago. I always say give critical projects to the guy who has something to lose if it all goes wrong. You tend to get more focus and better results.
B3an - Friday, November 3, 2017 - link
Error in article? Says it has 8GB memory available to devs, but wasn't that later increased to 9GB?
beginner99 - Friday, November 3, 2017 - link
I wonder why MS did not go with eDRAM as a cache for Xbox One. Like intel Iris pro. That would not have posed the limitations on the SOC size and would not have needed specific developer effort.

Rievaulx's Old Blog
Why is Christian pop so bad?
Katy Perry was recently and controversially sued by Christian rapper Flame, because her 2013 single "Dark Horse" was supposedly too similar to Flame's own "Joyful Noise". I had never heard of Flame before; indeed ironically he has probably achieved far more fame through this lawsuit than he ever would have had Perry not allegedly ripped him off.
Christian hip hop seemed intriguing to me. I'm a big fan of 90s gangsta rap, but I admit I do sometimes question its glorification of a nihilistic lifestyle. "Perhaps Christian hip hop would be a nice change from the endless stream of raps about bitches, drugs and money" I thought to myself, and duly gave "Joyful Noise" a listen. How wrong I was.
Mundane, predictable, clichéd rhymes about generically serving the Lord, coupled with guitar that jars horribly with the beat. Here's the first "verse", as it were, actually rapped by fellow Christian hip hop artist Lecrae:
Your boy's been a Christian, quite a few years
Victory and faith, but I failed in my fears
I heard a lot of words that have tickled many ears
That's why I praise God for the Word that we adhere
The Word became flesh, lived for thirty years
Died at 33, but after days reappeared
Jesus Christ anointed one ascended in the air
Or you can say the air where the Father made Him heir
Of all things The Throne, no it's more than a chair
But after our redemption, yes He did take a chair
Greater than the angels' name superior to theirs
This is Hebrews - Hebrews Chapter 1 if you cared
What's wrong with these lyrics? Well, apart from the fact the word "tickle" should never end up in a rap, they're over-obvious and over-literal. You might as well be quoting the Bible directly. "Died at 33, but after days reappeared". Yeah, I know. This is more like an educational Sunday school sermon than a personal, heartfelt expression of faith.
Compare this with Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, a beautiful piece written as the composer was dying of tuberculosis at the age of 26. It contains all the suffering empathy of a Christian towards Christ on the Cross. The same could be said of Mozart's Requiem. These are emotional explorations of the faith, rather than attempts to proselytise. And as Professor Jordan Peterson points out in the video below, that is the fundamental difference between art and propaganda. Art has no ulterior motive except to explore. Any morals or lessons learned from this process are nothing but unintentional, often subconscious, side-effects. Personally, I treat the stories and scripts I pen as a kind of conversation within myself. I certainly don't agree with everything I say in the conversation, but I deem it interesting enough to explore and contemplate regardless. Propaganda, meanwhile, is created with a specific aim in mind, to persuade its audience of a particular opinion. That is why it so often feels forced and stale, like the rap lyrics above - because it is not an exploration but a boring, one-dimensional statement.
I believe Christian hip hop, and Christian pop music in general, has done much to stop Christianity being taken seriously by young people, by being such blatant propaganda. But it doesn't need to be this way. Christian musicians should realise that they will convert more people if they stop trying to proselytise, and simply lead by example in their music. Craft a beautiful song or powerful rap about the victories and sorrows of the faith, with no ulterior motive except to glorify God, and the converts will come naturally. My favourite piece of Christian pop is "Word on a Wing" from David Bowie's masterwork Station to Station. During the creation of the album Bowie was struggling with a cocaine habit and the filming of The Man Who Fell to Earth. In his spiritual despair he briefly sought salvation in the Cross. While he did not, in the end, become a Christian, this lone spiritual encounter with God produced "Word on a Wing", an honest, comforting cry of repentance in an album otherwise filled with cocaine-addled black magic and delirium. This is the sort of thing all Christian pop musicians should aspire to:
The United Kingdom of Britannia
Hong Kong's struggle is Britain's shame
Snakedance: a beautiful nightmare

Oxana Timofeeva On the Soul
Video recording - online talk
https:///www.apass.be/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Oxana-Timofeeva-On-The-Soul.mp4
Oxana Timofeeva
On the Soul
A talk and a conversation on the soul. This talk took place on November 19th.
The talk was proposed by Adriano Wilfert Jensen and supported by the a.pass participants assembly as part of a new modality of participants curated content at a.pass.
The talk addresses to some episodes in the history of philosophy from antiquity to the present, where the soul is considered, fist, in its corporeal aspects, i.e. in its immediate or mediated connection to the body, and second, in the context of the question of the passages between the human and the nonhuman, as well as between individual and collective experiences.
Oxana Timofeeva is a Professor at "Stasis" Center for Philosophy at the European University at St. Petersburg, member of the artistic collective "Chto Delat?" ("What is to be done?"), deputy editor of the journal "Stasis", and the author of books History of Animals(London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2018; Maastricht: Jan van Eyck, 2012; trans. into Russian, Turkish, Slovenian, and Persian), Introduction to the Erotic Philosophy of Georges Bataille (Moscow: New Literary Observer, 2009), How to Love a Homeland (Cairo: Kayfa ta, 2020; trans. into Arabic), and other writings.

6-6 February 2020 / ISELP & a.pass
Elen Braga / Eve Kalyva / Steven Jouwersma
When institutions have come to embody their own institutional critique, when participatory art becomes the new weapon of the established normalising order, and when attempts to further develop forms of artistic resistance are almost instantly liquefied in the commodifying reason of the market, a series of questions arise: Is it still possible to disobey? What could the forms of disobedient work be today? What new strategies should be invented in this context? How can one give the public the incentive to transgress its fears, inhibitions and limitations? Having these questions as a starting point, "Zones of Disobedience" opens up a space for discussion, reflection and debate. It presents examples from the past and the present and from across the spheres of the artistic and the political in order to problematise sets of relationships, conceptual frameworks and behaviors. These have to do with ideas about monuments, myths and experiences of the city as space but also as a site of memory, of belonging and of envisioning a future. "Zones of Disobedience" offers an evening of contestation, blurred limits, shifts and negotiations.

As a case study and exemplary project/practice, Nicolas Malevé, Femke Snelting and Pierre Rubio will discuss the long history of Active Archive. What can the different iterations of Active Archives tell us about the condition of engaged artists-researchers-archivists? What were the historical conditions that stimulated its genesis? And after all these years -punctuated by profound technological, cultural and institutional changes- how is its evolution and relevance today?
Book Club #6 A STITCHED AND SPLIT HOSPITALITY

Book Club Series / Laurence Rassel
The Laurence Rassel Show
The a.pass Book Club welcomes "what if" expert-consultant Laurence Rassel. Long ago she diagnosed the vacuity of artistic practices when its formats of knowledge-production are not 'situated' in an ecology of art that encompasses social and psychological factors. Paradoxically she considers fiction, science-fiction, narratives and role plays as paramount tools to achieve that goal. Laurence Rassel will address the notion of 'Radical Hospitality' by revisiting Stitch and Split, and some of the curatorial operating principles and practices she developed in Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona as an engaged feminist curator.

In 2014 I started working as an artistic researcher in a.pass. Since then I developed three different projects. 'Don't Eat the Microphone': a weekly session developed together with the residents of the psychiatric hospital Dr. Guislain in Ghent, 'Televizinho': a series of re-enactments of Brazilian soap-operas with no-actors of a river community in the Amazon and 'Mommy, Daddy, Me': a letter trialogue about love relationships between me and my parents. Through these experimental set-ups I gathered a lot of materials of various kinds. Now I would like to share these video's, texts, experiences and set-ups with you. I would be happy to host you during an evening-long sharing of materials from the research, and offer an idea of the contexts and imaginations that brought these ongoing projects to life.
Patricia Reed mobile orders
30-30 May 2015 / aleppo
'Order' in and of itself, is a structural proposition in which sets of functions, behaviours, relations and norms can play out (while making other operations impossible or extremely difficult to carry out). Within the 'social', order is largely cultural, meaning productively artificial, subject to infinite mutability. So to demand 'order' is not (necessarily) to seek to submit oneself to relations of authoritarian dominance, but to seize upon structural possibilities as a project for construction. 'Order', in this way, is mobilised as an affirmative project – a freedom to construct new systems of cohabitation (rather than simply a freedom from something).
Elke van campenhout the tender institute
"In the whirlwind of changing subsidy policies, and political crisis, the Institute has become a partner to be mistrusted. What has become clear from all the waves of institutional critique that have fueled the visual arts production in the last decennia, is the Institute's extreme flexibility to reinvent itself, to recuperate and produce the ruling discourses, in a constant craving for the new. The Institute in this understanding has become synonymous with capital power struggles, with normative regulation of the arts scene, and with an unsavory attachment to a global economy that creates and sustains inequality, poor labor conditions and a sanctimonious elitist attitude towards knowledge and its distribution."

Brazilian Radio Station Antenna Destroyed in Arson Attack

HAVANA TIMES – Brazilian authorities must thoroughly investigate the arson attack against broadcaster radio Aliança FM and hold the perpetrators to account, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
In the early hours of December 3, unidentified assailants burned down the broadcast antenna of Brazilian community radio station Aliança FM in the city of Choró, in Ceará state, according to local news reports. No one was harmed in the attack, which destroyed the antenna, according to those reports.
"The arson attack on community radio station Aliança FM is deeply disturbing. The police in Ceara should thoroughly investigate the attack, bring those responsible to justice, and take all necessary measures to ensure that radio journalists can report safely," said Natalie Southwick, CPJ's Central and South America program coordinator, in New York. "The harassment and intimidation of community radio journalists directly affects people's access to information, especially in remote areas."
Marcolino Borges, the founder and editor-in-chief of Aliança FM, told CPJ via phone that he was at home when someone who lives near the antenna location called him, between 1 and 2 a.m. on December 3, saying the antenna was on fire. Borges said he arrived at the antenna soon after and found it destroyed, with its equipment shed on fire. He said he called the police, and that they arrived and opened an investigation into the attack.
The radio's studio is located in a different area than the antenna, and was not attacked, Borges said.
Borges told CPJ that he co-founded Aliança FM–originally known as Pioneira FM—in 2005, and said it had received many threats for its broadcasts over the years in relation to its coverage of local news and politics.
Borges added that he has been in a long-running dispute with Otacio Dantas Filho, a former mayor of Choro, who was unhappy with the station's coverage of local politics and had threatened to "end" radio Aliança FM.
Borges said that, since September 2018, Dantas Filho has tried to jam radio Aliança FM's broadcasts by transmitting radio signals on the same frequency. Borges said he filed a complaint with the National Telecommunications Agency, which shut down Dantas Filho's station last year, but added that Dantas Filho had recently resumed broadcasting on Aliança FM's frequency.
In a phone interview with CPJ, Dantas Filho said that he had nothing to do with the attack on the antenna and that he had never interfered in Aliança FM's broadcasts. Dantas Filho said that Borges stole radio equipment from him in the past, an accusation that Borges denied to CPJ.
Dantas Filho told CPJ that he believes radio stations should not cover local politics, and said he would give a statement to police if asked.
Tim Carlos, a representative of the Community Radios National Association, and Vanderlei Barbosa, a representative of the Radio Journalists Union in the Quixadá region, which includes Choró, confirmed in emails to CPJ that there had been an ongoing dispute over radio broadcast rights in the city.
The Secretary of Public Security and Social Defense sent a statement to CPJ via email saying that authorities' initial findings indicated that someone cut the cables supporting the antenna and then set it on fire using a flammable liquid, and said that no explosive devices were found at the scene.
The statement also said that the Civil Police are interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence, but that no further details could be shared in order to avoid jeopardizing the investigation.
Since the beginning of 2018, Brazilian radio journalists have been subject to death threats, bombing attacks, a drive-by shooting, and threats from politicians, according to CPJ reporting. At least two radio reporters, Jairo Souza and Jefferson Pureza Lopes, have been killed in that time, according to CPJ research.

Greenstein: House Should Discard Damaging Farm Bill, Pursue Bipartisan Approach
Home / STATEMENTS / Greenstein: House...
CBPP Statement: May 18, 2018 - For Immediate Release
Today, the House failed to pass a deeply flawed and partisan farm bill. The just-defeated bill would have moved America in the wrong direction by taking food assistance away from many who need it. It would have reversed years of progress under Presidents of both parties by making SNAP less effective in reducing food insecurity and supporting families. It would have taken food assistance away from more than 1 million households including 2 million people and would have harmed children, people with serious health conditions, older workers, veterans, caregivers, and parents.
Small changes — or political horse-trading — cannot fix this bill.Small changes — or political horse-trading — cannot fix this bill. We urge the House to craft a new bipartisan bill that reflects a shared commitment to strengthen SNAP and ensures that households that struggle to put food on the table get the help they need. Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Pat Roberts and Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow have stated that they plan to develop their farm bill, including its SNAP provisions, in a bipartisan manner. The House should do the same.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization and policy institute that conducts research and analysis on a range of government policies and programs. It is supported primarily by foundation grants.

FIRST Measurements of Downwelling Far-IR Radiance at Table Mountain, California

We present observations of far-infrared (far-IR) emission from Earth's atmosphere measured by the Far-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Troposphere (FIRST) instrument at Table Mountain, California during September and October 2012. The FIRST observations are made simultaneously with radiosonde launches providing vertical profiles of temperature and water vapor. In addition, total precipitable water is measured onsite at Table Mountain via GPS every 30 minutes. Temporally coincident observations from the AIRS instrument and CALIPSO satellite are occasionally available as are measurements from the TMF water vapor profiling lidar. The radiosonde, GPS, and satellite data are used with a radiative transfer model to compute the expected clear-sky downwelling radiance for comparison with the FIRST observations. Assessment of measured and modeled atmospheric radiances requires consideration of a number of factors including: atmospheric variability, instrument stability, instrument calibration, and uncertainty in the inputs to the radiative transfer model. Of particular interest is the knowledge of instrument calibration, which must be known (for observations at Table Mountain) for brightness temperatures ranging from 180 K to 290 K. Uncertainty in knowledge of atmospheric radiative transfer calculation inputs also limits the extent to which accurate comparisons can be made. Comparison of observations and model calculations are critical for understanding the extent to which "radiative closure" is obtained – that is, the degree to which we can model and predict the far-IR part of the spectrum. The far-IR emission is driven essentially by water vapor, a primary greenhouse gas in Earth's climate system.

Q: How can I position Position MatSnackBar module in Angular? I am trying to position the MatSnackbar module to appear at the top of my page.
I have tried using the config to add customclass. Here is my code:
component.ts
let config = new MatSnackBarConfig();
config.duration = 50000;
config.panelClass = ['red-snackbar']
this.snackBar.open("Please fill all the details before proceeding.", null, config);

.css
.red-snackbar{
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 54px;
}

But it is not working. Is it possible to re-position the MatSnackbar?

A: You can determine the verticalPosition: MatSnackBarVerticalPosition as specified by the docs
ts:
openSnackBar(message: string, action: string) {
    this.snackBar.open(message, action, {
      duration: 2000,
      // here specify the position
      verticalPosition: 'top'
    });
}

Demo

A: For anyone wondering how to dynamically set the snackbar position, here is an example:
showSnackBar(text: string, duration = 2000, actionText = 'Fechar', horizontalPosition = 'center'): MatSnackBarRef<SimpleSnackBar> {
    return this.snackBar.open(text, actionText, {
      duration: duration,
      // Cast the variable to MatSnackBarHorizontalPosition
      horizontalPosition: horizontalPosition as MatSnackBarHorizontalPosition
    });
  }

And import MatSnackBarHorizontalPosition from:
import { MatSnackBarHorizontalPosition } from "@angular/material/snack-bar";

A: To position the snackbar use position values
            this.snackBar.open(message.text, action, {
                duration: this.timeOut,
                verticalPosition: 'bottom', // 'top' | 'bottom'
                horizontalPosition: 'end', //'start' | 'center' | 'end' | 'left' | 'right'
                panelClass: ['red-snackbar'],
            });

and  to change color, in your style.css define the red-snackbar:
 .red-snackbar{
  background-color: rgb(153, 50, 50);
  color:lightgoldenrodyellow;
}

https://www.coditty.com/code/angular-material-display-multiple-snackbars-messages-in-sequence

A: If you're using vertical position, you can fine-tune your position with:
.red-snackbar{
    transform: translateY(50px) !important;;
}

A: This should work:
.mat-snack-bar-container {
 margin-top: 50px !important;
}

A: this is deprecated, but worked fine in Angular: 12.0.0-rc.3.
::ng-deep .mat-snack-bar-container {
    margin-top: 250px !important;
}

$x^2 -2x+65$ and $5-x$ are two algebraic expressions. The value of logarithm of $x^2 -2x+65$ to $5-x$ is $2$. The value of $x$ can be determined by solving this logarithmic equation.
The logarithmic equation can be expressed in exponential form by the relation between logarithms and exponential functions.
Expand the right hand side expression by the square of difference of two terms.
Therefore, it is solved that the value of $x$ is $-5$ and it is the required solution for this logarithmic problem in algebraic form.
The value of $x$ can be verified mathematically by substituting the variable $x$ by $-5$ in the left hand side logarithmic expression. If the logarithmic expression is given the right hand side value and it is $2$, then the value of $x = -5$ is true.
Put $x = -5$ and simplify the expression.
Therefore, the value of $x$ is $-5$ and it is required solution for this maths problem.

A soft start to India's tryst with drones
New Delhi: Nearly four years after banning the use of drones - or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - in the Indian airspace, the government has given a go-ahead for their commercial use. Though their use will be restricted until the government prepares more comprehensive guidelines, drones kicks off a new era where the delivery of goods, monitoring and surveillance is expected to get a major leg-up.
So far, the use cases of drones are restricted to areas like agriculture, forestry, power supply, geographical mapping, defence, e-commerce and film shooting, experts argue that more use cases are going to emerge over a period of time. Considering that civilian drones are fairly new, it seems that India has taken a lead in coming up with its own drone policy.
The drone ecosystem in countries like US and China has been fast evolving. For instance, there's a fight going on between hobbyists and large corporations like Google and Amazon on the usage of drones. Google, which has a drone programme Project Wing, is sceptical of the small-time drone operators as they might interfere with its autonomous delivery systems. Google and Amazon (through its programme Prime Air) are currently doing actual testing of drones for the delivery of payloads.

Robbie Williams reveals old feelings for Kylie Minogue
Jan 2, 2023 feelings, Kylie, Minogue, reveals, Robbie, Williams
On December 30, 2022, BBC Radio 2 released an interview feature with Robbie Williams. Scott Mills, a longtime companion of the star, hosted it. Among other things, he specifically asked about the relationship between Kylie Minogue and Williams. To which Williams replied that he had "hoped for more". At the same time, he also revealed a childlike nervousness in dealing with people.
Williams compares Minogue to girls from a higher grade that he didn't dare approach. "I don't know how to talk to her. She was the swarm of all swarms." He is referring to the time they worked together on the song "Kids". This appeared on both William's third solo record SING WHEN YOU'RE WINNING and Minogue's LIGHT YEARS in 2000.
The radio feature was created as part of a larger BBC Radio 2 program series. It is titled "Celebrating Take That and Robbie Williams". Williams and Mills take a chronological look at the singer's career in a collegial tone. They also address the separation from Take That. Williams reports of being overwhelmed and his first mental breakdown. During this time, shortly before the first big US tour, everything had become too much for him. It's not the only insight the star offers into his psyche. He also reports great anxiety during his performances. However, in her own words, she makes him seem "the most competent".
The interview can be listened to until the end of January 2023.
Williams wants to show more of himself in a documentary series produced by Netflix. It is scheduled to appear in 2023.

Moscow Mule, trendy cocktail
by Simona Vitagliano
Spring has begun, quarantine is over and summer is approaching: what better time to redo our eyes (and palate) with a tasty trendy cocktail? By the way, have you ever heard of the Moscow Mule?
A fresh and disturbing long drink
If you found yourself talking to a friend at a disco or at a bar counter while sipping an alcohol accompanied by a slice of lime and served in a nice copper cup, it was probably a Moscow Mule. A cocktail that has little to do with Russia – if it were not for the vodka which is one of the ingredients – and which, indeed, has its origins in the American city par excellence, the chaotic New York.
We are in 1941, in a bar run by two entrepreneurs who are not doing well at all: struggling with many debts, they kept going. One day, however, thanks to a very special customer, the bad luck began to overturn: John G. Martin, distributor of the Smirnoff vodka who just could not conquer the Americans – probably also because of the bad relationships that have long affected the two Countries – he found himself, in fact, talking to the owner of the most popular club in Hollywood, Jack Morgan, intent on launching his brand new Ginger Beer; it was a ginger drink with a pungent and unusual flavor.
It is precisely from the union of these two projects that the Moscow Mule was born: the ingredients were combined and married in an almost divine way thanks to the intervention of the pinchy flavor of the lime that contributed to the birth of this long drink which, by now, is history.
And where does this strange name come from?
A real legend revolves around this detail: it seems that that day, at those same tables, an entrepreneur was also sitting who, in turn, found herself having to dispose of a stock of cups that carried the print of a cute donkey (mule, in English); that would have been the first "home" of the cocktail which would then have evolved into the copper version (very old fashioned) due to the temperature (it is a material that cools very quickly) and / or flavor, given that part of the taste detail of the Moscow Mule derives from the interaction of copper with lime.
Today, however, there are also those who serve it in the classic high tumbler that is used for the preparation of cocktails even if, in this version, this drink loses some poetry. But the story does not end here.
Those were the years of the Second World War: could a cocktail with a name that so directly recalled Russia ever be successful? The demand, in fact, was initially very low but, after the war, it increased dramatically and then consolidated with modernity; on the contrary, it is not uncommon to find a very trendy variant in front of which lime has been replaced by cucumber, even if this ingredient is not the one foreseen by the official recipe of the IBA (International Bartenders Association).
The original recipe
Preparing a Moscow Mule in a workmanlike manner means paying attention to all the phases of the recipe: fill the cup with ice, add vodka, ginger beer and lime juice and, finally, decorate with the classic slice lime (or, if you want to dare, cucumber); also allowed to use fresh ginger, which makes the flavor more intense and pungent. Do you prefer gin to vodka? Then shift the two ingredients: you will create a Gin Gin Mule (or London Mule)!
