The Relationship Between the Economy and the Welfare Caseload: A Dynamic Approach
Jan 1, 2002
A Dynamic Approach
Nationally, the welfare caseload declined by more than 50% between 1994 and 2000. Considerable research has been devoted to understanding what caused this decline. Much of the literature examining these changes has modeled the total caseload (the stock) directly. Klerman and Haider (forthcoming) model the underlying flows and show analytically and empirically that previous methods are likely to be biased because they ignore important dynamics. However, due to their focus on the bias of the stock models, they present only limited results concerning the robustness of their findings and utilize only a single measure of economic conditions, the unemployment rate. This paper examines the robustness of the basic stock-flow model developed in Klerman and Haider (forthcoming), considering both richer dynamic specifications and richer measures of economic condition. We find that more complex dynamic specifications do not change the substantive conclusions, but richer measures of the economy do. While a model that only includes the unemployment rate attributes about half of the California caseload decline between 1995 and 1998 to the economy, models that incorporate richer measures of the economy attribute more than 90% of the decline to the economy.

Last year, I went to view pieces of modern art. I had not gone to many art museums, and little did I know that by the end of the visit, I would be glad that I had not. Art should enthrall the viewer with elements like the beauty of the night sky or the mystique in the smile of Mona Lisa. The pieces I saw did just the opposite. My trip to the Addison was an uncomfortable reminder that the definition of art is deteriorating. Random scribbling in fashion reminiscent of a two year old, a gathering of firewood, or a blank canvas are now hung up in museums and considered ingenious pieces. So often I hear raves about how brilliant these artists are. These men are definitely brilliant artists. Brilliant con-artists. As we went through the exhibits, my class carefully scrutinized these pieces. I shot a quick glance at one of them, and a sensation of disbelief overwhelmed me. It was a white sheet of paper colored with white crayon. At first I thought it was some sort of joke, but then my teacher began to ramble on and on about how the piece's elements make us ponder deep and intelligent thoughts. But what makes this white sheet of paper different from any other? My teacher was right about the fact that the sheet of paper made me ponder. It made me ponder who in the world bought this piece of junk and actually put it in an art gallery. He then asked us to define the artist's purpose. After searching for a nonsensical answer, I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is possible that the artist had no purpose whatsoever. It is likely that the "creator" of such a piece had little imagination, a lack of talent, and corrupt intentions. Perhaps he knew that he could make money easily by selling a piece like this to idiotic buyers. Apparently his plan worked since it is hanging in the Addison. Apparently this never occurred to my teacher. I wanted to speak out against his irrational conception, but feared I would be shunned for not taking the politically correct approach. I stayed quiet, but things only got worse. The next exhibit was a collection of toilet paper rolls. One of my peers was able to construct a politically correct answer, but I did not buy his reasoning. I thought to myself, "perhaps the next time I'm in the bathroom, I'll save that toilet paper roll and hand it in as my art project. Perhaps that is all it takes to get a six." Throughout the exhibit, none of our classmates, including myself, dared to unleash our disgust. By the end of the visit, I had a lingering thought in my mind. If it had been me submitting the white crayon paper, the collection of logs, or the toilet paper rolls as an art project, my teacher would have stared quizzically at me as if I were some idiot and yell what were you thinking. On the other hand, if my name were Pablo Picasso and I had some of my earlier pieces accepted, then my work would go into exhibits like these and he would praise my "brilliance." Modern art has gotten out of hand, and its evils have permeated not only Phillips Academy's art museum, but also its beautiful landscape. There is a statue across from Bartlett Hall that I am sure you have seen and cracked a joke about. With all of Andover's historic buildings such as Sam Phil and the Bell Tower, some random person is able to place a large statue that clearly resembles a phallus right in the center of campus. My house counselor would cringe if he heard me utter the word "penis," so how is it possible that the school allows this statue to stand so prominently? I have tried convincing myself by looking at it from different angles and points of view that it does not actually resemble male genitalia. Those politically correct people like my art teacher could make something up about how it is only an abstract representation of the union of Phillips and Abbot. Unfortunately, I cannot accept these disillusioned answers. When outsiders make their way to the statue, they are no longer captivated by the beauty of our campus. Instead, they stop in front of Bartlett, pointing and making wisecracks about the atrocious piece of "art." Some modern art has crossed the line. We cannot do anything to stop tasteless, valueless, and meaningless exhibits from winding up in museums and galleries, but we have the power to stand up for what is right here at Andover. These pieces of rubbish poison the integrity of the Academy and it is critical that we fight for their removal.

I was always intrigued with learning about my family's history. Needless to say, the Genogram assignment was the most exciting to me. The most interesting part of the assignment was exploring different traits that are passed down each generation. For example, I've learned that I inherited my poor eyesight from my maternal side of my family and my height from my paternal side. With my genogram, I plan to extend my research and find out more information about my interesting family history. Lastly, learning the different types of families was helpful. Learning about blended, nuclear, and single parent household will be useful when counseling the youth. Depending on which type of family a child comes from can determine when a child may act a certain way; this is essential to a counselor.
As a counselor. I plan to utilize all of the theories that I learned for family therapy. In a counseling therapy, my priority will be to learn about my client and his/her family's history. I would first find out what type of family they are and then have my client map out a genogram dating back three generations. By doing this, the client and I would be able to talk about his/her family's history and successfully analyze where the issues may align. If executed successfully, I feel my therapy sessions with my client would be

SEO – search engine optimization. It became a buzzword quite early after the conception of the internet. Webmasters emerged claiming to get your website to the top 3 results for any keyword you want. It worked. Then, it stopped working.
Soon, webmasters were forced to learn to do SEO the right way. Things kept evolving and they continue to do so. I, Manpreet, began with SEO about 7 years ago.
My first experience with SEO was with my own personal blog. I was publishing content & soon I was receiving thousands of visitors on my blog. The power was in the SEO.
Soon after, I picked up my first project – blogging & doing SEO for an Indian fashion brand. Brijraj. I committed to publishing 20 posts a month and the main source of traffic was SEO. We soon hit 1M views doing so. That's the power of great SEO-optimized content writing.
Since then, I have worked for brands in several industries and countries and done SEO for them. In today's post, I'm sharing the SEO lessons I learned from doing SEO all this time in hopes that I can help Maur Media readers learn from my experience.
1. Is SEO difficult?
A lot of people ask this question – is SEO difficult? How long does it take?
Ideally, SEO is not difficult. However, it does take time. It depends on the brand/website you are working with and their competition in Google's search results.
It can take anywhere from 3-12 months to get to the top 3 results on Google.
But I'm sure you've heard this before. What you don't usually hear about is the difficulty actually depends on several underrated factors like how old the brand is, how much it's already known (doing SEO for startups is the hardest) and how much content you can actually produce for the brand.
A small business with a 4-page website will have much more difficulty with ranking in search results as compared to a small business that has many service description pages, pages like awards, certifications, testimonials, and a business blog.
Another major factor is whether the small business is investing in other digital marketing tactics. If you're running ads for your website, doing SEO for that website would be much easier and everything ultimately comes together to help one another out.
So, to answer the question of whether SEO is difficult or not, it suffices to say SEO is difficult if you're working with a new brand or with limited resources but if you have the ability to do omnichannel marketing, produce a lot of content, and are working with a brand that already has a few customers, it's much easier.
2. Fast SEO is even worse than no SEO
Many people claim to get SEO results fast or they even guarantee the rankings. I fear such people for the damage they do to a small business website in that manner is more than wasted money and time. Often, we have a hard time convincing business owners about SEO and digital marketing because of the shoddy work they've experienced with other people.
SEO takes time. Bringing in results faster than it usually takes is often too risky and should be avoided. Slow and steady wins the race.
I've seen many business owners work with quickie SEO companies and get quick results in the first 2-3 months and then comes the major dip. In some scenarios, there are often manual penalties that come along which are extremely difficult to get rid of.
So, the SEO lessons I have learned through this is to never overdo it. Invest your time and money wisely on great content and outreach rather than spending on fast SEO.
3. Stop chasing the algorithm
I'm seeing this trend right now where we see website owners and content marketers getting anxious over the fluctuations of search results. They're always checking whether their rankings are going up or down.
Google is always changing its algorithm – some changes are minor and barely impact SEO while others have a huge impact on the way content gets ranked.
As much as this is important for us SEOs, I feel that business owners should stop worrying about the fluctuations in search results.
You can do everything right for your website with solid on-page SEO, great content but it all comes down to Google's algorithm.
One basic rule of SEO is that if you do the right things, your rankings will eventually go up. The algorithm update may affect your website or it may not – either way, you just need to keep doing what you're doing on the website.
So, one of the SEO lessons for business owners is to stop over-obsessing about the rankings.
4. Being in Top 3 Results Isn't Everything
There are many memes about being a loser if you're not in the top 3 positions for any given keyword you're trying to rank for.
I have been working with a brand for over 3 years and most of the keywords we're trying to rank for still don't have us in the top 3.
Reasons? Could be many. The top 3 positions are taken by aggregators while our client is a single business. There's too much competition. We're spending less time on it. Or we simply don't think it's important enough.
The thing is the client is super happy. We get many leads organically and they convert well. Of course, every now and then somebody comes along pointing out that the best place to bury a dead body is at position 4 of page 1 of search results and our client makes inquiries. Once we talk of what matters more to them – positions or leads & conversions, we're all sorted. It takes less than 2 minutes.
Now, I'm not saying the first 3 results aren't important. In fact, we do have tens of keywords for which this client ranks at #1 but the point is sometimes, it's not necessary to rank at #1 for a keyword. It all depends on keyword relevancy and intent.
So, just trust the SEO agency you've hired to decide what's more important and let them guide you for this. They may come up with keywords that really matter or the ones you missed out on and they will help you prioritize especially if you're focused on multiple channels of digital marketing.
As a business owner, obsess about leads and conversions you're getting. Let your digital marketing agency obsess about rankings, followers, and so on.
5. Measure The Right KPIs
One of our dear clients would open up Google Analytics in the very morning of their workday and just see real-time analytics on how many people are visiting the website. Do you think it was a productive activity?
Does it really matter how many people visit your website? Well, if you're going to get paid on that basis – how many people are visiting our website, then yes. In all other cases, it doesn't matter.
The actions on the website – what they're doing matter. Are they filling out the lead form? Are they signing up for your newsletter? Are they looking for your portfolio or contact information? Are they convinced enough to take the next step in the buyer's journey?
Those things matter and those are the things that should define the KPIs. There's really no point getting millions of impressions and clicks and then having no real actions performed on your website.
So, yes, those million impressions a month is good but nobody really cares unless the number of leads & business that come from those impressions is also good.
As an SEO agency and business owner, it's crucial we focus on the numbers that drive business. Hence, one of the SEO lessons I have got is how big of an impact it makes when you focus on the right KPIs and also, what damage it can do if you don't focus on the right KPIs.
There you go! These are the top 5 SEO lessons I learned by doing search engine optimization for 7+ years. Of course, there are many more lessons that have come to me through this journey and I would surely add them to this post someday.
Until then, I hope you found this valuable. If you're a small business owner looking for a reliable digital marketing agency in Toronto GTA to help you build your online presence and generate leads for your business, hire Maur Media agency today!

AceShowbiz - Actress Emma Roberts is working on finding a happy medium after experiencing personal highs and lows in the public eye following her split from fiance Evan Peters.
The former "American Horror Story" co-stars called off their engagement for good in March, having been together, on and off, since 2012. Evan proposed in December, 2013.
Emma admits it was tough coming to terms with the end of her relationship with Evan.
"I think that no matter who you are or what you do or wherever in the world you are, anything ending is hard," she shares in a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine.
"Losing something is hard. And the only thing I can say for that is... I'm realising that life is highs and lows. I'm trying to ride them out and live somewhere in the middle."
Julia Roberts' niece continues, "When you're low, you think it's never going to end. When you're high, you're so scared of it ending. And I've lived in both of those places for too long."
The 28-year-old is also learning to accept that every aspect of her private life will be played out in the press.
"It's hard enough to be with someone by yourself, let alone with an audience," Emma explains. "Growing up is hard."
"Sometimes it makes me sad that I can't have a private moment. Because of Twitter and Instagram, there's a whole other element where everybody can comment on what you're doing, and no one knows the real story. That's hard... I know what's true, and I know what happened in my own life, and so do the people that love me and who I love."
Emma has since moved on from her broken engagement, and has been linked to actor Garrett Hedlund after they were spotted holding hands during a recent outing in Los Angeles.

I am trying to open a makerspace here in Siem Reap, where tools and equipment are provided for makers, who create things. I would like to introduce one of my subprojects at the makerspace, STEM education program with BBC micro:bit for kids ages 6 through 12. I would like to give a talk about the project to parents in Siem Reap.
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It typically refers to curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology.
BBC micro:bit is an educational electronic device, developed by BBC, for STEM education. Since its release in 2015, the device has been widely used in UK thanks to BBC who distributed the devices for free to a million of pupils in UK.
Britons, Singaporean, and other European citizens probably know STEM and micro:bit well as pupils in the countries are already using micro:bit in schools. People from other countries might need a bit of explanation because the idea and the concept sound new. I would like to explain why your kids need STEM, and what STEM aims at, and – if you like the idea – how you can help the project.
If you are curious about STEM and the project, here is a very introductory post I wrote sometime ago.
The talk will focus on the concept of STEM, problems your kids will face, and what pupils will learn in STEM education programs. If you know STEM well, the topics might sound too familiar, but I will explain the problems from different point of view, specifically, as an IT engineer. Hope you will find it fun.
If you think kids deserve a better, modern educational program, have difficulties in the current situation around kids, or need something to throw at your kids to play with, please come and join to the talk. Teachers, professional educators, and those who know someone in education, are very welcome, too.

Much like the watercooler or barbershop of yesteryear, reviews are the word of mouth engine that helps instill authority, trust, and value when purchasing, especially online! That's why buying from a company of strangers can feel somewhat anxious without someone vouching for their credibility first. We understand this dilemma, we shop online too and value positive reviews just like any other consumer. We know what a 5-star purchase experience feels like and it is our mission to provide every customer with this experience.
See, our product isn't like a toaster. You can't simply plug it in, kick back, and expect the rodents to pile up — no, the A24 automatic trap more is like a fishing rod. Even the best fishing gear in the world still requires attention to detail, know-how, and patience. Trapping simply isn't an exact science. When using any trap, it is important to remain pragmatic and follow the setup instructions exactly.
We wanted to take a look at some of our reviews from Amazonand Trustpilot the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and address some simple trapping tips for issues that some have run into, as well as showcasing the success that customers have had with our trap.
It's important to know a little bit about how rats work when it comes to their food source. They are very intelligent animals with an excellent sense of smell. They can analyze the nutritional content of food determining fat, protein and carbohydrate composition.
Rats can take time to trust a new food source. When they encounter new food, they taste a small amount and then go away to see if it makes them feel sick. They repeat this process until they've decided the new food source can be trusted.
Once they determine if the food source is safe, it may still take some effort to get them to try something new. It's a bit like when you want fish 'n' chips on a Friday night… you're going to go past the burger bar and the pizza restaurant.
Rats are also very social creatures. They touch noses together when they meet and in doing so they use that excellent smell sense to see what their companion has been eating lately. If it seems rats are not attracted to the bait in your trap, the first thing to determine is if there is another readily available food source. If you use a compost bin, the bin should be moved to a sealed container and stored elsewhere for 3 weeks. It may take that long for rats to decide they need to search for new food.
If there is seasonal food available like falling fruit from trees, it may be a challenge to trap until the fruit is gone. As long as your Goodnature A24 Trap is in place, they will have a source to go to when the current food source is no longer available.
If there is chicken feed or animal feed in the area, it should be stored in rodent-proof containers and food that is left on the ground or outside the chicken coop should be swept up whenever possible. Any cat or dog food should be kept inside only, or immediately moved once outdoor pets are finished eating. All trash cans should also have secure lids.
It's important to recognize that trapping isn't an exact science, and rats and mice can be notoriously hard to catch. Finding the right combination of lure, trap placement, and eliminating other food sources can be more crucial to your success than even the trap itself.
Here are some important steps to take:
Remember, a rat lives in a dangerous world and will only investigate a new food source when they feel safe to do so. It's an absolute must to use your Goodnature™ Lure Tasters to detect the best place to put your trap — not (as some people think) to detect whether or not you have rats!
Use Goodnature™ 200g Chocolate Formula and Nut Butter Formula lure for rats to pre-feed the site. Put up to a dozen pea-sized dabs of lure at ground level around your trapping site. This helps to sign post the new food source. The knowledge of the new food source causes the rats to search for it…and that's when they'll find it in your Goodnature™ A24s.
Be sure to follow your trap's installation guide to properly mount your trap. The trap must be properly secured and be mounted at the correct height for rodents to enter.
The Goodnature A24 has been proven to be an effective trapping device for rats and mice. However, successful trapping takes patience. If you expect to set up the trap and kill several rats every night, you will most likely be disappointed. This actually does happen in some cases, but many times it will take time to test the proper location and lure. If you are not having success with the chocolate or nut butter formula lure, we would recommend using a different bait lure such as peanut butter, dog food, or other baits the rats might be accustomed to eating in the area. The trap kit includes a DIY Lure Basket to formulate your own lures.
If your trap does not kill any rats or mice the right away and you give up, then you will be back to square one with your rodent problem. However, with some time and patience, you will be on your way to successful trapping.
Rats may inhabit an attic or other places in your home, but it doesn't mean they are finding their food source in the same location. Rats and mice only eat where they feel comfortable and safe. If they are not attracted to the trap lure, it may be because they are not used to eating in the particular lotion. The Lure Tasters mentioned above are a crucial step in detecting where rats are eating and determining the best location for your trap.
Remember, location, proper installation, and a competing food source are all important factors. Successful trapping takes time and patience. It is very possible to go a week or more without trapping anything, and start trapping once the rats seek out the new food source and are comfortable feeding in that location.
Not all rats are attracted to the same type of lure. Rats may be accustomed to different food sources in different areas, and not as hyper attractive to the chocolate lure included with the trap. For this reason, we include a convenient DIY Lure Basket so you can try different lures. Customers have had success with many different lures – including peanut butter and dog food.
It's important to keep in mind that trapping does not always happen overnight. Rats and mice are intelligent animals and successful trapping requires patience and perseverance.
Every year, rats and mice enter 20 million U.S. homes uninvited. They reproduce rapidly, and can cost thousands of dollars in damages and extermination costs. They can ruin equipment, spoil food and start fires by chewing on wires.
We've trapped millions (seriously, millions) of rats and mice and the knowledge of what it takes to achieve success is highlighted in this guide.

The Makefile.am in frysk-imports/tests has incorrect usage of the $GIJ variable.
Output is incorrectly sent to $(GIJ).sh which tries to output the file to
/usr/bin/gij.sh, which makes the build barf.
The $(GIJ) variable has been replaced with "gij" so the output now goes
correctly to gij.sh.
Fixed. See previous comment.

Columbus, OH –-(Ammoland.com)- While the warm days of spring turkey hunting season, or next fall's big game hunting adventures seem far away, now is the time to start thinking about your future hunts.
You should plan ahead now by learning the fine details on numerous pending hunt application deadlines. Next year's hunting opportunities could depend upon your attention to the calendar.
For example, Michigan has an application period for spring 2013 turkey hunts that opens January 1 and is open until February 1. Details are at: https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-10363_14518-148773–,00.html
Oregon's spring black bear hunting application period will close on February 15, 2013. Details are at: https://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/controlled_hunts/
Tennessee's spring turkey application is already open and remains open into February. More details are at: https://www.tn.gov/twra/
We point these out because some of the deadlines for coveted hunting opportunities have crept forward in recent years, so hunters need to be aware. To find these deadline details, visit the state game department website where you plan to hunt or possibly contact any outfitter that you plan to hunt with in the future. It pays to stay abreast of the deadlines.
About:The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and sportsmen's organizations that protects the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs. Visit www.ussportsmen.org.

While it has the tempting to merely read the code line-by-line, doing a secure software review is actually a much better methodology. In addition to reducing assessment time, examining the source code allows you to find aspects of vulnerability. Additionally, it provides a chance to educate builders on secure code, bringing their very own attention back in security considerations. Listed below are some methods of secure software assessment. This article details them briefly and explains the common way.
Secure code review tools aim at hardening code and finding specific security-related flaws. They will help developers to fail fast, as they make them fix protection flaws in code prior to they result in serious effects. Failing fast can cost a business in dropped revenues, furious customers, and ruined standing. Some secure code assessment tools support quick downside identification using one platform, and provides nearly hundred percent code coverage. This ensures the security of your software.
Security Reviewer Suite correlates results from completely different vulnerability analyzers and provides a complete picture in the application's secureness. Using a specific interface, it identifies the fundamental Cause and helps you resolve the weaknesses. It provides line-of-code details for over 1100 acceptance rules in 40+ coding languages. SR Hook up is a service-oriented architecture and supports incredibly huge deployments. This can be one of the most advanced secure program review equipment available today.
A secure code review method uses a combination redirected here of manual inspection and computerized code checking. This method will not involve manual code inspection, since not every code is protected. Automated code scanning equipment, on the other hand, definitely will analyze and report on the effects. While accomplishing a safeguarded code assessment is an intensive process, it yields various valuable ideas into your code. It can demonstrate security risks, techniques, and insights which are not recently apparent. Additionally, it helps you implement better coding practices.

Invading the low-fly zone with a pair of cutting-edge Buicks
There is no question that Buick's Grand National and Turbo Regal have proven themselves on the dragstrips and back roads of America. The combination of modern technology wrapped in a classic musclecar package lends itself to quick elapsed times and a very loyal following. Street/strip use generally dictates a customary set of modifications that leaves the cars with a fairly standardized look. In fact, it's surprisingly difficult to build (or find) a truly unique Turbo Regal in the street/strip vein.
While there's certainly nothing wrong with the dragstrip warrior look, there are those that want something that stands out in the sea of black and gray cars (that are mostly on big 'n' littles, DOTs 'n' frontrunners). With the ever-growing g-machine movement, building an open-road racing style car presents a fresh chance to build a car with a look all its own. Nowhere is this opportunity more overt than when applied to a Turbo Regal.
Phoenix car builders Rick Elam and Heath Elmer are two guys that understand this. They have each taken one of these Flint Flyers and transformed them into what they believe to be the ultimate bad ass Buick. These two cars are the total package. Have a look; we think you'll agree. "This car is totally a work in progress," says Rick Elam. "I've owned the car for more than four years, and I'm just now getting it to where I want it." What is it he wants? "I didn't want to limit myself to a certain type of performance with this car. I wanted to be able to run the car at the strip, then drive it to a cruise night and show it. I guess you could say I want it all."
Elam is very quick to say that he drew much inspiration from Elmer's old car (see "Subtle as a Sledgehammer," GMHTP May 2000). "It just so happens that Heath and I have very similar tastes. My goal was not to build a car identical to the black one. I built the car the way I wanted it--for me. I'm not really interested in what others think," he tells us.
Any g-machine worth its salt needs proper motorvation, so Halderman Marine and Performance was enlisted to resuscitate the original, tired mill. They bored the venerable 231 .020-inches before adding forged JE pistons, an RJC girdle, ARP studs and a billet roller cam. T&D roller rockers were added to the ported cylinder heads that were also treated to 1.77/1.50 Manley valves. Cotton's Performance sent a big CPT-66P turbo while a Charged Air Systems front-mount intercooler moderates the intake air temperature. An Innovative Turbo Systems electronic boost controller controls the Innovative Pro-gate, which in turn keeps the boost in check. Elam's fuel system includes an Aeromotive external pump and MSD 75 lb.-hr. injectors. ATR stainless steel 4-bolt headers and downpipe along with a Cotton's performance 3-inch dual exhaust ensure the V6 can exhale freely.
Bob Floyd took care of the 200-4R rebuild that employs a Mallender trans brake and an Art Carr 91/2-inch lock-up 3600-rpm converter. The stock rear end has been updated with a set of 3.73 cogs and an Auburn limited-slip differential.Since workdays find Elam reporting for duty as a technical sales representative at Baer Brakes, you would rightly expect to find a set of the firm's venerable binders behind the big hoops. Elam installed a Pro+ system up front, which consists of a pair of huge four-piston Alcon calipers and upgraded slotted and zinc-washed 14-inch rotors. Out back, he went with the Touring+ system that features two-piston PBR calipers and upgraded 12-inch zinc-washed rotors. To show off the epic brake system, Elam selected a foursome of Simmons eighteen inch, three-piece wheels and wrapped them with huge Yokohama AVS Sport tires. Eibach springs get the stance just right, while KYB shocks and HP Motorsports boxed lower control arms are there, too.
Body mods include a set of GNX flares, a GN rear spoiler, a pair of third-generation Camaro mirrors and a shaved hood emblem. Inside, Elam opted for Recaro SE chairs, a B&M shifter and more Autometer Ultra-Lites than you can shake a stick at. Elam credits Buick From Hell Products for the super-detailed interior panels.
"Everyone thinks Heath built this car, but that's not true. While it was once owned by Heath, I've done all the work to get the car where it is today. With the exception of the paint and bodywork (which Heath did do) I built the car myself." That said, the way we hear it, the car is nowhere near finished. Elam tells us an elaborate roll cage designed for significant chassis reinforcement is about to be installed. He is also in the process of building a burly Stage 2 engine that he expects to propel the car deep into the tens on slicks. Mark our words: you haven't heard or seen the last of this car.
Heath Elmer's Black & Silver Turbo Regal
By now, Heath Elmer is a name familiar to most Turbo Buick enthusiasts. The Arizona Auto Trim owner has constructed innumerable rad rides, most notably his '87 GNX clone. That car (otherwise known simply as "The Black Car") broke much new ground in the Buick community. Never before had someone so carefully crafted a corner-carving Turbo Buford. Outwardly, this car may look like a simple re-do, but in fact, it differs significantly from its progenitor. "Instead of gutting it like I did with the black car, my emphasis here was to build a driver," explained Elmer. That meant that everything was retained--the heater, the radio and most importantly (especially in Arizona!) the air conditioning. Whereas the black car had lightweight but flimsy (and not-so-street-legal) fiberglass bumpers, this car has smoothed steel pieces. Other body mods consist of a shaved hood ornament, a subtle Grand National rear spoiler and a pair of third-generation Camaro mirrors. Elmer also added a quartet of GNX flares and a pair of fender vents for a slightly more aggressive appearance. With the body modifications complete, he laid down a two-tone black and silver motif reminiscent of the WH1 Designer Package Regal T-Types. Check out the detail on that longitudinal stripe and accompanying 'X'. That's no decal, that's paint, folks.
A look through the deep tint will reveal a Finishline Performance-built six-point cage and a pair of Recaro SE seats. Elmer even re-upholstered the back seat in matching Recaro fabric. Also populating the interior is a brace of Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges.
"This car has the same look as the black car, but is much more driveable. That black car was almost too nice to drive," he chuckled. "I spent a lot of time tweaking things so this car doesn't run hot with the front mount intercooler and the air conditioning blasting, even in Phoenix's 110*-plus summers," he told us. Engine mods were performed with the goal of maximizing airflow, and keeping with the driver theme, the components chosen were relatively sedate.
Halderman Marine and Performance was again asked to freshen the stock short-block and fortified with a set of TRW forged pistons and a full complement of ARP fasteners. The Halderman crew also ported Elmer's cylinder heads and added big valves as well. Cotton's Performance supplied the CPT-66P turbocharger and a dual-port wastegate. Boost is pegged at exactly 27 psi by an Innovative electronic boost controller. A Precision Turbo and Engine front-mount intercooler brings the air charge back near ambient. The stock headers have been HPC coated, and a Houston Performance 3-inch stainless steel downpipe dumps into a Pro Dyno fabricated dual 3-inch exhaust system with a pair of Dynomax Race Magnum mufflers.
While the engine was at the machine shop, Elmer delivered the 200-4R transmission to Chuck's Transmissions in Mesa. Chuck's performed a performance rebuild utilizing Art Carr internals. The beefed slush box is coupled to the stout V6 with a Precision Industries 91/2-inch Vigilante torque converter. The converter provides 3200 rpm of stall speed and features a single-disc clutch. The remainder of the drivetrain is standard GM issue, with a stock driveshaft twisting 3.42 gears in a 10-bolt housing.
The ultra-aggressive stance is courtesy of Rancho coil springs while suspension movement is controlled by a pair of Rancho sway bars and KYB shocks. Baer Track 13-inch front brakes and Touring 12-inch brakes peek out from behind the big Simmons three-piece wheels, which are wrapped in Yokohama rubber. It is interesting that in a time when people are going to ridiculously large wheels, Elmer reverted back to 17s. "The car rides so much better with the 17s as compared to the 18s on the old car."
Neither car is drag raced on a frequent basis, but both Rick Elam and Heath Elmer have firm plans to visit Firebird Dragway as soon as the summer heat fades. Both cars are encountering teething problems on new turbo combinations but are expected to go low 11s at a bare minimum once those issues are resolved. We will keep you posted on the progress of each since so much interest has been shown.
Few will argue that the g-machine concept applied to the Turbo Regal is a winner. In fact, Editor Hunkins digs the look so much he has made arrangements for Old Gray to make the trip to the Arizona desert for a make over of its own. Stick around and see what shakes out!

Get enough shut-eye Women who slept for 5 hours or less a night were 32% more likely to gain weight than those who slumbered a full 7 hours.
Fidget more Tapping your fingers, swinging your foot, and standing while you talk on the phone could add up to 350 more calories burned a day.
Reset your thermostat You may burn more calories if your body is working harder to maintain its core temperature. Obesity researchers speculate that some of the population's weight gain may be due to the increased use of heating and air conditioning.
Banish trans fats In a 5-year study, monkeys that ate a diet high in trans fat increased their weight by more than 7%--even though, based on their calorie consumption, they shouldn't have gained weight at all.

On Monday, an ANTIFA rioter in Portland thew what appears to be an "improvised explosive device" at the federal courthouse, according to Gateway Pundit. Rioters have been attacking the building for over 60 days. While the rioters have been shooting fireworks and throwing Molotov cocktails for weeks, this explosion was much bigger and sent a moment of shock through the crowd.
Here is a video of the terrorist throwing the bomb at federal agents:

The ANTIFA terrorist was spotted wearing a rioter gear vest and speaking with naked protesters in the streets of Portland.
But wait…his leftist grandmother bought him the vest online and wrote a review on the product at Hibbett.com.
This is just the latest defeat the ANTIFA terrorists have faced in recent days…all thanks to grandma! Despite federal officers' efforts to arrest violent rioters from the streets of Portland, the night-after-night violence shows no signs of slowing. With only 98 days until the November election, let's see how quickly this all goes away after November 3.

NBA Inside Drive 2002
After seeing how great NFL Fever was on
the original Xbox, I decided to purchase other sports video games. I had
some high hopes for NBA Inside Drive 2002. Whereas NFL Fever 2002 is
approachable by all skillsets, you better be good to play NBA Inside
Drive 2002. This basketball game will dominate you on the easiest
I found a few tricks to NBA Inside Drive 2002. Turn off all the fouls, and turn off the streaks. When a player gets hot or cold, NBA Inside Drive 2002 becomes unplayable in terms of fairness. You can watch a lead grow to insane heights. NBA Inside Drive 2002 is extremely heavy on calling fouls on the player, and lets the computer controlled characters get away with murder.
The rap music in NBA Inside Drive 2002 is not to my liking. The announcers repeat the same annoying sound bytes over and over again. They also lacked anything excitement when things got interesting. NBA Inside Drive 2002 is best played with two players.
The camera will not always show who you are supposed to defend. Which is backed up with slow and stiff looking basketball players. The fans in the stands do not look that great either. How did NFL Fever 2002 get so many things right, yet NBA Inside Drive 2002 got so many things wrong?
There are insanely crazy things that happen in NBA Inside Drive 2002. Like a good player missing a couple of dunks in a row. Or a three point shooter making it with someone in his face. Yet he can not make it when he is wide open. The fouls also fit into this category. They make no sense. Just turn them off.
I saw a variety of control and visual glitches in NBA Inside Drive 2002. Players and the ball passing through one another. Players quickly turning back and forth.

It's only fair to note that even at Fox News, there are flashes of against-the-grain good sense from the presenters.
In June there was Shepard Smith in the wake of a far-right extremist's murder of a guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC.
Now Bill O'Reilly, who sometimes manages to think independently, has endorsed the dreaded public option for health insurance in the US (after saying "it's not going to happen").
However if Glenn Beck has ever had a flash of good sense (or a moment of intellectual integrity or even sanity), I've not seen it. This clip from The Daily Show (showing Beck's apparent epiphany on the superiority of US health care) is priceless.

New Bridge College Blog 25.3.22
Another productive and wonderful week here at New Bridge College. This week, in PSHE, the students focused upon outcome two 'manipulating images and how social media can manipulate celebrity image to the public'. Students used the Facetune and photo express apps to experiment editing pictures and explored how some media images are edited.
Students also worked on outcome three 'cyber bullying' by reviewing and discussing harassment, cyber bullying and stalking. One of the activities involved matching and discussing a broad range of definitions and meanings.
Additionally, we explored the Megan Meiers suicide story and how peoples' lives are affected by social media.
Hopefully, the sun is going to continue shine. Plans or no plans, please do have a lovely weekend. See you on Monday morning… ready to 'go again'!

Even closer than Schönbrunn is the Technisches Museum Wien, which is located right next door. The architecturally impressive building has been a museum of science and technology for about 100 years, with exhibits exploring themes from an Austrian perspective. Its enormous halls are lit by natural light which floods in through giant glass domes. The items on display include turbines, planes, steam engines, relics from the golden age of industry, robots and examples of space-age technology.

GENERAL PRACTITIONERS WILL now facilitate people who are not normally registered with a practice if they develop Covid-19 symptoms, the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) and the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) have said.
There are now a total of 292 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the Republic of Ireland.
In an address to the nation last night, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said this emergency is likely to go on well beyond 29 March, adding that "it could go on for months into the summer".
As the crisis is expected to worsen in the weeks ahead, the IMO and ICGP have said they recognise that there are members of the public who are not registered with a GP and who may be concerned as to what to do if they develop symptoms.
"General Practice is the first point of contact for patients with symptoms and in these extraordinarily challenging times GPs will facilitate those people who are not normally registered with the practice," the organisations said.
The IMO and ICGP added that GPs have been dealing with large volumes of patient calls over the past week and they are continuing to ask people to be patient.
In most cases, people will be asked for their details and will then receive a callback, the organisations said. They are asking that people do not make multiple calls to the practice.
They also noted that while there is no charge for Covid-19 triage, people will need to provide details to GPs, including name, address, date of birth, symptoms, underlying health conditions and PPSN. People are being asked to have these details ready before calling a GP.
"Anyone with symptoms should immediately self-isolate and not wait to contact a GP. Please stay at home, and stay separate from other household members," the IMO and ICGP said.
"GPs, like all frontline healthcare workers, are dedicated and committed to the national efforts in relation to Covid-19. We are grateful for the public's co-operation at this time, and we asked that they continue to be supportive and patient in the weeks ahead," they said.

Nonetheless, the each day breakdown reveals that BCH/USD might delay its uptrend so long as the 9-day MA stays beneath the 21-day MA. Whereas, if the assist degree of $300 will get weak, a worth break-down might happen because the bears might discover new lows at $280, $260, and $240 assist ranges.
However, a bullish motion in direction of the 9-day and 21-day shifting averages might push the market to the closest resistance degree of $350 earlier than touching the potential resistance ranges at $380, $400, and $420. For the time being, the technical indicator Relative Power Index (14) is shifting above the 40-level, which may convey extra bullish alerts.
In comparison with Bitcoin, the latest sideways motion out there is as a result of worth stability out there and what the merchants want to notice right here is that the market is getting ready to alter the development and a short-term bearish breakout is most certainly to play out as a result of the technical indicator Relative Power Index (14) is more likely to cross beneath 40-level and this might discover the closest assist degree at 660 SAT and beneath.

In the meantime, the Bitcoin Money worth might proceed to comply with the sideways motion if the sign line of the technical indicator RSI (14) strikes in the identical route.
