New York-Jersey City-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J.
(1) Data for the New York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. Metropolitan Statistical Area and its components are preliminary for the most recent month.
Unemployment rates in all 25 New York-area counties were lower in July 2018 than in July 2016. Bronx County, N.Y., and Pike County, Pa., had the largest jobless rate decreases, each down 1.6 percentage points. Putnam County, N.Y., had the smallest decrease (-0.3 percentage point). Over the past two years, seven area counties, including the five that comprise New York City, had jobless rate decreases larger than the national decline of 1.0 percentage point.
The July 2018 unemployment rates for the four metropolitan divisions in the New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan area were 3.8 percent in Dutchess County-Putnam County, N.Y.; 3.9 percent in Nassau County-Suffolk County, N.Y.; 4.4 percent in New York-Jersey City-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J.; and 4.9 percent in Newark, N.J.-Pa. The over-the-year jobless rate decreases ranged from 0.7 percentage point in the Nassau County-Suffolk County division to 0.2 percentage point in the Newark division.
The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for August is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, October 3, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (ET).
Methods of Estimation. The LAUS program is a hierarchy of non-survey methodologies for indirectly estimating employment and unemployment in states and local areas. Statewide data are produced through a modeling technique that uses estimates of payroll jobs from the Current Employment Statistics survey and unemployment insurance claims counts from the state workforce agencies to mitigate volatility in the direct CPS tabulations of employment and unemployment, respectively. Data for labor market areas, such as metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions, are produced through a building block approach and adjusted proportionally to state model-based totals. For multi-county areas, such as the metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions delineated by the Office of Management and Budget, estimates are summed from the data for their component counties. Estimates for cities and towns are produced through a disaggregation technique.
The New York-Newark-Jersey City Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of New York City, Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties in New York; Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, and Union Counties in New Jersey; and Pike County in Pennsylvania.
The Dutchess County-Putnam County Metropolitan Division consists of Dutchess and Putnam Counties in New York.
The Nassau County-Suffolk County Metropolitan Division consists of Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York.
The Newark Metropolitan Division consists of Essex, Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Union Counties in New Jersey and Pike County in Pennsylvania.
The New York-Jersey City-White Plains Metropolitan Division consists of New York City (Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond Counties), and Orange, Rockland, and Westchester Counties in New York; and Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey.

I am psyched to share this workout with you guys today! It's a fun one (yes, even with burpees) and starts out tough with three minutes of non-stop work for the first round. The time spent in each circuit decreases by one minute for each subsequent round for three total rounds.
I completed this workout during Chase's naptime and it only requires one set of dumbbells. It's a quick workout but seriously challenging thanks to plyometric exercises that made me sweat like crazy and challenging upper body exercises.
You'll notice that the number of reps you're completing stay the same. Keep things simple, but focus on form and challenge yourself! Each circuit pairs an upper body exercise with a super-sweaty plyometric exercises that will get your heart rate up! Take breaks as needed and honor your body. If you keep things moving and give yourself a one-minute break at the end of each round, this workout should take you approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Below you will find exercise demos of each exercise in the three circuits.
Ooh this is a good one! Would be great to try in my HIIT class I teach as well!
I really like this one! Pinning for later!
LOVE at home workouts! i don't have any time to go to the gym anymore! now it's when william is playing (or watching and laughing and imitating me) or when he's sleeping!
I love this workout! I definitely neglect my upper body sometimes. PiYo is helping with that- I'm going to try to throw this workout in this evening as well!
I have the same problem! I will often just place the hand that's not doing the row flat on the floor while the other one is completing the row!
I actually like burpees, crazy I know but they sure get the heart rate up!
I really like this set! It's seems super quick which is always a plus for me. I can't really do burpees though – they seems to put a lot of impact on my hip and knee joints and I'm always sensitive to that (one of the reasons I don't run).
Workouts that combine strength and cardio are my favorite 🙂 Thanks for sharing a quick workout that pairs well with the new playlist that you shared!
Looks like a great workout. Squat jumps are so tough for me!
WOOP! I always feel a little more validated when YOU tell me a workout is hard. 🙂 Superstarrr. And can we please go back to the days of doing TaeBo in our dorm room?
Woot woot! Just did this for my early morning workout! It was so great and so fast! The minute rounds I couldn't even get the cardio part in…I guess it takes me a long time to do 15 bicep curls to overhead presses! Ha thank you Julie!!
Great workout! Love plank rows, I literally feel those all week post workout!

Solar Workshop Draws Diverse Allied Solar Professionals
On July 20, a diverse crowd of code officials, architects, designers and installers had a chance to add solar knowledge to their existing skills and qualifications at a half-day workshop in Pittsburgh in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Codes Conference.
Providing an intro to solar basics and permitting best practices, as well as iCode and National Electrical Code provisions impacting solar installations, the course was designed in partnership with the Building Codes Assistance Project (BCAP) and International Code Council's Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (ICC-SRCC).
Participant feedback indicated that much of the information presented "was not previously known" and that the resources provided were helpful. All participants agreed that they could apply knowledge learned in the workshop to their job.
The workshop was funded by the US Department of Energy's STEP program.

Sony has sweetened the deal for those HD DVD owners who are still reeling from the news that Blu-ray has won the format war, but only if you are lucky enough to live in Switzerland.
Other companies have offered a trade-in for those unfortunate souls who backed the wrong horse and plumped for the Toshiba-led HD DVD technology. But Sony itself is helping Swiss customers who are prepared to move onto its BDP-S range.
For those who pick up a BDP-S300 or S500 before the end of March, handing in an HD DVD player will bring a discount of 200 Swiss Francs (just under £100) and Blu-ray versions of the Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean trilogies.
Xbox HD-DVD drives and anything bought after 29 February are excluded from the program. And it seems unlikely that the offer will make it over to the UK, although we are trying to find out.

Election Study: Evening News Teed Off With Politics
Trevor ButterworthContributor
Science and evidence in the public interest
If the traditional network evening news shows are a bellweather for mainstream media opinion, the American press would like a different country to cover, please. According to a new content analysis by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (an affiliate of an organization I work for), coverage of the mid-term elections from January 1 through Labor Day was savagely negative for all parties, including the Tea Party.
69 percent of evaluative comments – on-air statements which expressed a judgment – were negative for Republicans; 68 percent were negative for Democrats; and 63 percent were negative for Tea Party candidates.
The findings reflect a remarkable fall in the fortunes of the Democrats from their surge in the 2006 midterms (33 percent negative versus 82 percent negative for the GOP). They were the party of hope; now, they are the party of failure.
Full Coverage: Decision 2010
And when comments were directed toward party policy, the message was even worse, especially for Republicans: only 17 percent were favorable, as opposed to 28 percent for the Democrats.
When comments were directed at the horse race (who's more likely to win), 73 percent of Republican assessments were positive against just 33 percent for the Democrats.
In terms of issues, there were just two that were repeated often enough to generate an ongoing frame for interpretation: the economy (the subject of 43 discussions) and – not surprising given all the negativity - voter anger (22 discussions). The "Ground Zero" mosque generated, by contrast, just eight discussions, and health care reform seven.
If the coverage suggests "Democrat surge good, Republican surge bad," it may be that 2006 was exceptional for the Democrats – and that negative coverage is the norm for midterms. When the GOP took the House in 1994 – for first time since 1954 – coverage was 69 percent negative for the Republicans, the same as now, and 57 percent was negative for the Democrats. In the 1998 midterms, coverage was 57 percent negative for the Democrats and 60 percent negative for Republicans.
There is no definitive answer as to whether negative coverage depresses voter turnout or drives a more general apathy toward politics. But as Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune in the late 19th century (and a leader of the brief, quixotic Liberal Republican movement), put it, the press "cannot resist the popular sentiment any more than the stream can flow above its fountain."
All of which leaves us with the teasing irony that, as the force which makes popular sentiment manifest, the media may be among the most Teed off of the nation's Tea Partiers.

Flying those friendly skies may not be as friendly if you use free airport Wi-Fi. An increase in e-ticket hacking has many unsuspecting travelers wondering what went wrong with their plans. Leaving no stone unturned, hackers find that it pays to intercept passenger check-ins to their benefit. Recent revelations find that many airlines using e-ticketing and the check-in processes do not encrypt those Wi-Fi transactions. That's great news for hackers who easily gain access to the same networks as passengers using public Wi-Fi. Not only can hackers see a ticket-holder's information, in some cases they can change booking and boarding passes for their own benefit.
Despite endless warnings about how hack-able public Wi-Fi is, many still choose to use it. Researchers from Wandera found that hackers who gain access to public Wi-Fi can find out a lot about a traveler. The PII (Personally Identifiable Information) available to hackers are things like full name, frequent flyer points, confirmation number, passport ID, email, and mobile phone number. In other words, everything needed to book another flight and a boarding pass. For those who had their Wi-Fi hacked, it may not be until they try to board their flights that they find they may no longer have a ticket.
Wandera researchers alerted impacted airlines and government agencies after finding the flaws in December of 2018 with their processes. Worldwide, there are currently eight airlines involved with this particular Wi-Fi vulnerability and all have been notified. It's not the first time airlines have had security vulnerabilities. Last year, British Airways and almost 400,000 of their customers had their credit card payments compromised. Air Canada and Delta also saw thousands of customers and their PII gone with the wind.
Keeping your PII safe while traveling takes a commitment, especially since PII is also under siege with phishing and malware attacks. Staying off public Wi-Fi, particularly when checking-in, is a great start. Security researchers strongly recommend performing all necessary communications, including check-in and printing your boarding pass, from home or another secure site before arriving at the airport. If you're not able to connect from a secure site, use the cellular data from your device. It's a small price to pay to know your PII and your seat on the airplane remain undisturbed. Remember, as stressful as airline travel can be, navigating your trip safely online can help make those skies much friendlier.

Radio News Information Sheets
March 1930 Radio News Article
March 1930 Radio News
Radio News magazine used to publish Information Sheets each month that readers could easily cut out and insert into a notebook as a handy reference. For example, one Information Sheet presents basic information on the current-producing color sensitivities of common elements like cesium, rubidium, and potassium, along with that of the human eye for comparison. Another Information Sheet has a table of resistor values useful for constructing a range-selectable voltmeter from a simple milliammeter. Also, just as today you can buy a nearly complete AM or FM radio in the form of an IC (plus a handful of external components), it was possible even in 1930 to buy a complete radio receiver for integration into a chassis either as just a radio or as part of a combination unit that might also contain a record player. Some spec sheets for a few of those are included here as well just so you can see what they looked like - including all the vacuum tubes and interstage coupling transformers.
Color Sensitivity of Photoelectric Cells
By Elmore B. Lyford Index No. R-535.31
The activity and sensitivity of a photoelectric cell depends upon the material with which the inner surface of the bulb is coated. All metals are photoelectrically active to a greater or less degree, but the most active ones have been found to be those which chemist call "rare earths," such as caesium, rubidium, uranium, etc.
No known photoelectrically active substances are sensitive indiscriminately to all wavelengths of light - each such substance is affected by a definite band of light waves only, and has its point of maximum sensitivity at some wavelength within the band. In general. the more active substances have their point of maximum sensitivity within the visible portion of the spectrum, while the less active substances respond best to light in the extreme violet or ultraviolet portion of the spectrum.
The curves given in the accompanying chart show the color-sensitivity characteristics of three common types of photoelectric cells. These curves remain practically unchanged regardless of the shape or size of the cell in which the metal may be employed. The shape and size of the cell have much to do with its total output, but the relative sensitivity of the cell to various wavelengths of light is determined almost entirely by the active material employed.
For purposes of comparison, the color-sensitivity curve of the average human eye is also shown, and all the curves have been drawn with the point of maximum response at 100%. This should not be taken to mean that under the same conditions all of these metals are equally active, for such is not the case. These curves imply show where the point of maximum response comes, and how rapidly this response falls off as the wavelength of the incident light is increased or decreased from this point.
Voltage Multipliers for Small Meters
By Elmore B. Lyford Index No. R-264.1
Any milliammeter may be used as a voltmeter by using a resistance of the proper size in series with it. It may be made into a multi-range voltmeter by using several resistances, and selecting the appropriate one by the use of a selector switch, as shown in the accompanying diagram.
When deciding upon the proper resistance value to employ as a multiplier, Ohm's law must be taken into consideration:
The accompanying table give the correct resistance values to use, with each of the milliammeters shown across the top, to obtain the voltage range shown in the first column.
If a multi-range voltmeter is desired, several different resistances may be used in series with the same milliammeter, and the appropriate one for each reading selected by means of a switch, as shown in the accompanying hook-up.
With a good milliammeter, the accuracy of the voltage readings will depend almost entirely upon the accuracy of the resistance used, and these should be the best obtainable. They must also be capable of carrying a current equal to the milliampere range of the meter used.
Radio News Manufactured Receiver Circuits
In the seven-tube Majestic No. 180 receiver two -50 tubes arranged in push-pull provide exceptionally fine tone quality with little or no possibility of distortion due to overloading.
Five -27 tubes make up the remainder of the circuit, three being used as radio-frequency amplifiers, one as a detector and one as a first-stage audio-frequency amplifier.
Provision is made for either a short or a long antenna and peaking of the antenna stage is obtained by the use of an antenna trimmer.
A drum switch allows changeover from a radio program to the playing of phonograph records, by connecting a phonograph pickup in the secondary circuit of the first-stage audio-frequency amplifier.
The drawing above shows only the circuit diagram of the radio-frequency amplifier, detector and audio-frequency amplifier portions of the receiver.
The power pack employs two -81 tubes in a standard circuit for full-wave rectification. The necessary power for the excitation of the field coil of the dynamic speaker is obtained from the same power pack. A voltage regulator, connected in series with the primary of the power transformer provides even volume and distortionless quality.
In the Silver Screen-Grid 30 receiver four screen-grid tubes are used, three of them functioning as high gain r.f. amplifiers, the fourth as a screen-grid power detector. The first audio stage, employing a -27 tube, is coupled to the detector output through a resistance-coupling unit, so that the impedance relations between the detector plate and the plate load may be satisfied. Incorporated in this part of the circuit is a switch which throws in or out a shunt condenser across the plate resistor so that regulation of the bass or treble notes may be obtained. In other words, the operation of the switch accentuates one or the other frequency extreme.
In the grid circuit of the first-stage audio amplifier tube is a closed-circuit jack which is intended to take a phonograph pickup for the electrical reproduction of records through the receiver's audio channel.
A pair of -45's arranged in push-pull fashion complete the audio amplifier.
A standard power-supply unit provides the plate and filament voltages for all of the tubes. One feature of the power unit is the line-voltage regulator which maintains a steady non-fluctuating voltage supply to the line transformer despite line voltage variations.
Three -24 or a.c. screen grid tubes, two -27 or a.c. heater type tubes, a pair of -45 output power amplifier tubes and a single -80 or full-wave rectifier are the tubes which are employed in the Stewart-Warner Series 950 a.c, operated receiver.
The three screen-grid tubes are used in the three-stage r.f. amplifier, which is stabilized by the employment of neutralizing or stabilizing condensers. The tuning condensers are shunted with equalizing capacities so that perfect alignment of a resistance-coupling unit.
Coupling between the detector and first audio amplifier tubes, both -27 type tubes is accomplished through the use of a resistance coupling unit.
Push-pull transformers between the first a.f. stage and the pair of -45 tubes and between the latter and the loud speaker, complete the audio channel.
Full details of the power supply unit, which follows standard lines, are given in the circuit above.
Kolster
The a.c. filament type of tube, otherwise known as the -26, is used in the antenna coupling stage and the three tuned radio-frequency amplifier stages of the Kolster, Series K-21 a.c. operated receiver.
The heater type a.c, tube (-27) is used in the detector stage.
These five tubes complete the tuner section which is constructed as a separate unit, haying its own chassis.
The audio amplifier, consisting of two transformer stages, and the power supply unit comprise the second unit of the receiver. Connection between the two units is made through a terminal board or plug arrangement a shown in the circuit below.
The first audio raze employs a -26 tube while the final audio stage employ a single -71A tube in the output.
Provision is made for the plugging in of a phonograph pickup so that the audio channel may be used for the reproduction of phonograph music.
Details of the condenser and resistance hank of the power supply are shown in detail below.

Q: Is it possible to delete messages in group chat through Line Messaging API? I want to create chatbot with Line Messaging API?
Main goal of chatbot is maintaining messages. I want to have only few people allowed to send messages and any other should be removed and these users should get private messages about that. Is it possible to achieve it in Line Chat App? Anyone had experience with similar task?
Messaging API I'm talking about, but maybe there are other solutions for my problem.

Tyto Tech 500 Power List 2018
Listen to the Tyto Tech 500 Power List on the C-Suite Podcast
November 27, 2017 /in Featured, Insights, News /by Brendon Craigie
To mark the launch of the Tyto Tech 500 Power List we teamed up with Russ Goldsmith from the C-Suite Podcast and three of our top 10 influencers – Dr. Sue Black, Anne Boden and Jeremy Waite – for a conversation about influence, what it means to be influential, and the responsibility that comes with being an influencer. Listen to the C-Suite podcast here:
Here's a taster of what they had to say:
Dr Sue Black, founder of #TechMums, Technology Evangelist and UK Government Advisor: "I feel like I have a mission to help people, particularly women, and particularly disadvantaged women, to feel more confident in their lives, and technology is a great enabler."
Anne Boden, CEO, Starling Bank, had this to say on gender diversity in the tech sector: "I started in technology 30 years ago, and things haven't got that much better. There were very few women then, and there are very few women today. We can do much better. Organisations must try really hard to get more women at senior positions."
Jeremy Waite, Global Leader of CMO Programs, IBM: "Any true influencer never sets out to be an influencer, you set out wanting to change things. It's the responsibility of all of us to influence whatever audience you've got, however big or small that audience is. That shouldn't be to get people to buy more stuff. What we need to do is build more meaningful relationships."
