Here's the question you clicked on:
Please help:) In an HCl molecule, we assume Cl to be of very heavy mass and H alone oscillating. If the oscillation of the HCl molecule shows a frequency of 9.1949*10^13 Hz, deduce the force constant. given:Avogadro constant=6*10^26 per Kgmol.
isnt this chemistry?
ur on the physics section xD
ya I am on physics sec cos this question comes under shm @lilfayfay
@mahmit2012 please help me:)
i dont know chem!
this come under physics. simple harmonic motion.
ohh it looked like chem lol xD
lol I'm curious. The force constant is that of G?
\[\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{\mu}}\] where k is the force constant and mu is the reduced mass. You're essentially told to approximate the reduced mass as the mass of the H atom alone, because it's about 35x lighter than the Cl atom.
Thanx a lot:)

A popular social bookmarking tool has been giving out free beer! Reddit, the popular news site that lets users submit top stories, has hosted some major parties and is sponsoring the Drankkit World Tour 2007.
The recently kicked off tour has held Reddit parties at bars and nightclubs in major metropolitan cities, the most recent was this past Saturday at New York's East Village. The tour has already been to San Francisco and Boston, and future venues include Chicago, Detroit, Washington and Los Angeles, with others yet to be announced. Tonight's party is in Toronto, Canada.
"Most of the people in the crowd were avid Reddit members who'd put their usernames on their name tags; they seemed to be a quirky and sociable bunch, and a few people remarked that they'd be interested in seeing what the demographic differences would be if a similar party were thrown by Reddit rival Digg. (Who knows?) Reddit founders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian were actively talking to their guests and keeping the scene at the bar under control (Ohanian wanted to give the bartenders a hand, but the establishment's rules banned him from getting behind the tap)," Extra Technology News reported.
Reddit supplied beer for all attendees, all night. They can afford to do this because the site is now part of the Conde Nast corporation; on October 31, they were bought by Wired Digital.
New Reddit.com members can register for free, after which they can read stories submitted by other users or upload their own links.

Are these actually new? Or just hype?
Implications - Businesses can garner the attention of consumers by claiming to have developed a product that will render certain aspects of lifestyles easier and more comfortable. Companies that can provide an enhanced experience using the same product will appeal to a wide group of consumers. Between the standard or updated version of a commonly used object, consumers will more likely opt for that which is improved.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
21 May 2010 21:39 GMT
"BP has mismanaged this entire incident from day one. They should not be trusted," he said.
BP denial
BP denied any cover-up and said some third-party estimates of the leak were inaccurate.
BP spokesmen said the original leak estimate came from the US national oceanic and atmospheric administration, one of its federal partners in the joint spill response.
The oil giant said damage to the end of the pipe had distorted its diameter by about 30 per cent, while a drill pipe trapped inside the riser had reduced the flow area by an additional 10 per cent, "thus, some third party estimates of flow, which assume a 19.5 inch diameter, are inaccurate."
"I understand the frustration," Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer, told CBS news channel. "We're supplying information."
BP said its engineers were working with US government scientists to determine the real size of the leak, and was in the process of providing the US government's Flow Rate Technical Team with all requested information.
Adding to the confusion, BP on Friday revised downward an estimate from Thursday that one of its containment solutions, a 1.6km long siphon tube inserted into the larger of two seabed leaks, was capturing 5,000 barrels 795,000 litres of oil per day.
John Curry, a BP spokesman, said the amount of crude oil it sucked from the leak fell to 2,200 barrels (350,000 litres) a day in the 24-hour period ended at midnight on Thursday.
"The flow changes. It's not constant," Curry said.
Environmental disaster
BP is still trying to stop the leak that threatens environmental and economic catastrophe for the US Gulf coast, with its next planned step being to try a "top kill", whereby heavy fluids and then cement will be pumped into the gushing well to try to plug it.
This is not expected to take place until Sunday or possibly Tuesday.
A month after the well blowout and rig explosion that unleashed the catastrophic spill, sheets of oil are starting to clog fragile marshlands on the fringes of the Mississippi Delta, damaging fishing grounds and wildlife.
Scientists fear that parts of the huge fragmented surface slick will be sucked to the Florida Keys and Cuba by ocean currents.
On the Louisiana coast, fishermen counted the cost to their livelihoods.
"This is going to keep killing stuff and it will make whole areas incapable of supporting marine life," George Barisich, president of the united commercial fishermen's association, said.
John Terrett, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Venice, Louisiana, said people there can cope with what they have seen so far but [with the oil spill still not stopped] they are worrying about what has yet to come.
"We know it's coming ashore to the east of us here, and to the west, to Grand Isle, where there are some oyster beds.
"So far none of them have been contaminated, but oysters are one of the great Louisiana exports [so people are worried]," Terrett said.
BP has promised to pay legitimate damages claims and faces billions of dollars in expected cleanup and damages costs.
Shares in BP were down 3.4 percent at 511 pence by 1202 GMT, having earlier struck a nine-month low due to the cover-up allegations

Stephen Merchant Join "Wolverine 3" Cast
Hot on the heels of the casting of Richard E. Grant as a mad scientist type, James Mangold's upcoming third "Wolverine" film has picked up yet another beloved British actor - Stephen Merchant.
No word on what role "The Office" co-creator and "Hello Ladies" star will take on in the film, but he'll join not only Grant but Boyd Holbrook as the villain, Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman as the titular X-Man.
Jackman says this will be his last go-round as the character which he began playing 17 years ago. David James Kelly is penning the script while Lauren Shuler Donner is producing. The film is slated to open March 3rd.

Review: Midnight Special
As mid-level budget filmmaking wanes and decent visual effects become quite affordable, we're seeing more and more genre filmmaking exploring big ideas and themes in a way that often makes a very small scale film feel large. Filmmaker Jeff Nichols is no stranger to this, his "Take Shelter" was a story about apocalyptic warnings which proved to be an excellent exploration of masculine anxiety.
Whereas that film pointedly avoided the cliches of supernatural thrillers to deliver something both original and exceptional, his new effort "Midnight Shelter" isn't so fresh or rich even if it remains a very polished piece of filmmaking. Effectively a blend of John Carpenter's "Starman" and Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial," Nichols isn't as afraid to embrace formula this time even as he knowingly avoids the overt emoting that has often proven the Achilles Heel of this genre.
Yes it's a person (in this case a boy) with exceptional powers on the run, with the help of their family, from evil authority figures that include a sympathiser who proves helpful in their darkest times. Nichols makes only minor tweaks here and there, blending some religious elements into the work and avoiding extraterrestrial influences in favor of more human and ubermensch possibilities.
There's enough changes to the details though, like very early reveals of the kid's channeling of radio transmissions to the idea of a cult hiding him, to make it interesting even if it's not enough to overcome strong feelings of familiarity. Kicking things off in media res, the reveals here are very carefully dished out with a discipline which make it quite compelling on first viewing - it's a restrained and very lean film that demands a certain amount of intelligence and intuitive leaps from its audience.
Sadly the flaws quickly pop out on reflection. The characters - though supported by very strong performances by the likes of Michael Shannon, Kirsten Dunst and Joel Edgerton - are one-note. Their only quality is determination to get the boy, very well played by Jaeden Lieberher, to where he needs to go. Shannon in particular is able to milk the most out of a fairly routine part with his wonderful ability to emote so much through his face and delivery.
Adam Driver is an exception, his arc is contained entirely within the movie. It's an even more cliche role than anyone else in the film, his NSA agent effectively a merging of the Francois Truffaut and Bob Balaban roles from 'Encounters,' but it's the one that at least brings a brief sense of wonder and energy to an otherwise very self-serious affair.
Nichols' film is not short of ambition, and here he creates a very lived in and believable world in which these exceptional acts take place. That he does so with very minimal dialogue and a very small cast of characters is a testament to his strength as a filmmaker. Despite its polish though, you can't help shake the feeling that the more narratively compelling stuff took place before events in the film kicked off and so what we're left with is essentially the second half of a chase movie.
That doesn't mean that what's there still isn't compelling in its own right. The film's themes of the importance of familial bonds shines through and offer a comforting notion, while its ending is a surprisingly satisfying one that tries something a bit different. Though not an exceptional original sci-fi films of late such as "Ex Machina" or "Under the Skin," its every bit up there with the likes of "Sound of my Voice" or this year's "The Invitation" of engrossing small scale but big idea filmmaking. It is also certainly one of the better films of the year thus far.

Student, accused present in school on Jan 2

The Yerawada police on Friday told a magisterial court that they were in possession of tower location records of cell phones of Don Bosco School vice-principal Father Egidius Falcao and the 14-year-old complainant and the details show that on January 2 afternoon both were present on the school campus.
The complainant, a class X student of the school, has alleged that around 1 pm on January 2, Falcao had allegedly molested her and attempted to rape her inside his cabin at the school campus.
On Wednesday, Don Bosco School authorities had come out with attendance sheet, claiming that the complainant was absent on the day. The school claimed that the girl had lodged a false complaint.
"We have obtained the tower location records of cell phones of both Falcao and the complainant which show that both were present on the school campus around 12.30 pm on January 2," police submitted to the court.
Falcao, who was arrested by Yerawada police on January 22, was produced in the First Class Judicial Magistrate court by Yerawada police on Friday afternoon. The court extended his police custody to January 29. The police added two more sections against Falcon - Section 7 of Protection of Child Against Sexual and Section 342 (wrongful confinement) of the IPC. Earlier, the police had booked him under Sections 354, 376 and 511 of the IPC.
The public prosecutor said Falcao was not co-operating with them and was giving evasive answers."We have sent a team to Mumbai to find out the reasons for Falcao leaving his previous jobs in schools in Mumbai. We are yet to get information from the team," said assistant public prosecutor Madhav Paul.
According to police, Falcao said he had met the girl a few days before January 2 in presence of another woman to discuss an issue about the fees. "But he is evasive when we ask him about the woman. We need to investigate further in the case to find out if any other girl from the school has any complaint against him," said sub-inspector Reshma Mulani.
The police also recorded statements of the three girls with whom, according to the police, the complainant shared the incident soon after January 2.
The complainant had alleged that Falcao had asked her to meet him at his office after school on January 2. In his office, he allegedly closed the door, latched it and molested her. She tried to run away. But he allegedly stopped her and attempted to rape her. Meanwhile, Don Bosco school staff and supporters of Falcao were present at the District Court in large numbers.

IReel.com, a provider of online movie rentals, blocked hundreds of fraudulent transactions per day after implementing a fraud-detection system that screens transactions using device and transaction-related data, the e-retailer says.
Online movie rental site iReel.com blocked hundreds of fraudulent transactions per day after implementing a fraud-detection system that screens transactions using a variety of device and transaction-related data, says chief operating officer Adam Altman.
IReel.com had an ongoing problem with first-time customers who would go online and order a movie for instant viewing using a credit card, Altman says. Many of the cards later proved to be invalid.
"The scale of the problem was extraordinary," Altman says. "We were being hit by hundreds of false credit card transactions on a daily basis. We also had a specific instance of an affiliate who referred new customers using stolen credit card data. The affiliate was based in Serbia, while the credit card charges were in the U.S."
The problem was so severe that it jeopardized not only the retailer's profitability but its good standing with its card processor, he says.
To address the growing problem, iReel.com in December implemented a fraud-detection system from ThreatMetrix, Altman says. The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network, delivered as an Internet-based software service, verifies customers, authorizes transactions and authenticates users without customers providing personally identifiable information. The web-based system uses a wide variety of device and transaction-related data to build a score, which the retailer uses to accept or reject a transaction.
"Since ThreatMetrix is a rules-based system, I can assign various scores or create my own rules to determine whether we should accept or reject a personal transaction," Altman says.
iReel uses ThreatMetrix as part of its automated order process when new customers sign up. "It scores people on how likely they are to be fraudulent," he says. "I don't really need to do a lot other than view reports during the week to see how many orders were rejected or flagged."
ThreatMetrix enables retailers to select from hundreds of options for setting up rules, Altman says, adding that iReel uses between 50 and 100 rules for generating a score. For example, iReel flags transactions in the following situations: when a customer is surfing the web through a proxy computer, when multiple e-mail addresses are used on a single web-acccess device, or when a single credit card number is used on multiple web-access devices.
If a criminal based overseas attempts to disguise his identity by working through a captive proxy computer in the U.S., for example, the ThreatMetrix system is designed to identify enough of the criminal's source computer and IP address to ascertain its geographic location, ThreatMetrix says. A proxy computer is one that a criminal can control and uses to conduct the final leg of a transaction before it hits a targeted web site, in an effort to mask the original computer a criminal is using to conduct fraud.
Alman adds that ThreatMetrix offers an interface designed for simple operation. "For someone who's somewhat familiar with payment processing and fraud, it shouldn't take more than a day to a week of learning the terms and messing around with the system and understanding the rules and changing them," he says.

WhatsApp with ads?
UAE companies use WhatsApp to reach consumers
August 19, 2014 4:29 by Nadine Sayegh
Although the Facebook-owned company does not allow ads on its app, more and more firms are using WhatsApp to spread their messages.
WhatsApp is used around the world and boasts an average of 500 million users per month, so it comes as little surprise that companies in the UAE are learning new ways to take advantage of such a broad reach.
As an organization, WhatsApp has a policy that states: "You cannot use any automated system that sends out more messages in a minute than humanly possible and you agree not to span or solicit other users for commercial purposes." However, as Kippreport's sister publication, Communicate, discovered – there are ways around this condition.
So, why are companies turning to WhatsApp to advertise when they have the risk-free opportunity of SMS or e-mail advertising?
Ashwin Salian, managing partner at digital communications group Clique Communications, says: "While SMS marketing allows only 160 and 80 characters in English and Arabic, respectively, WhatsApp allows you to have unlimited characters. You can also send various media such as images, audio, video, etcetera; which allows marketers to get more creative."
Salian is not the only person to think this, Alex Wilkinson, mobile manager at MCN's digital services agency Platform 5, adds: "I feel that advertising on WhatsApp will involve marketing messages being delivered to a highly relevant target audience in an enclosed environment, and will be an uninterruptive and native experience for users".
While advertisers might see this as an opportunity to be unobtrusive, advertising at it's very core is an obtrusive practice – and when it comes into play in an 'ad-free' space such as WhatsApp, you can expect to have some unhappy customers at your doorstep.
Companies are now in a 'grey area' where they must tread carefully.
As Sailan points out, receiving unsolicited messages in an 'ad-free' space is, at the very least, irksome.
He says: "The problem is that it's unregulated and it could be spammy; unless you have a database where people have opted in and are giving you permission to send messages. I'm not sure if it is an ethical kind of marketing at the moment."
Manish Gupta, managing partner at EDZ FZE, who has clients such as Forever 21 and Renault, presents the counter argument, saying: "Even in an e-mailer, you would send it to people who haven't subscribed, but you give them an option of unsubscribing. Similarly on Whatsapp, if a user tries to respond back, it sends an auto-responder. They [users] can then reply and opt out, and we will make sure they don't receive a message again."
We know one thing for sure, as users, if we haven't signed up for something – we aren't secretly hoping to receive any unsolicited advertising.
Regardless of our personal feelings on the matter, it is certain that advertisers and marketers are beginning to see the potential of WhatsApp advertising, but for all our sakes, we hope they figure out a way to do it correctly.

Health Reform
Health reform involves extending insurance coverage and restructuring the health care delivery system to focus on prevention and primary care, reducing costs, and improving quality. Foundations are well positioned to help by educating consumers, supporting state implementation, transforming the safety net, expanding the health care workforce, and supporting innovations for high-cost patients.
In 2010 GIH established the GIH Health Reform Resource Center Fund, which allows GIH to increase staff resources and programming in order to inform and connect funders supporting work related to health reform.
Contact Ann McMillan for more information about our programming in this area.
Issue Spotlight
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Urban Institute has published an analysis of the characteristics of those remaining uninsured after implementation of the Affordable Care Act's coverage provisions. Researchers also analyze the characteristics of two subpopulations that they posit are those for whom additional outreach and enrollment efforts are likely to be most successful: those eligible for Medicaid/CHIP but not enrolled and those who are both eligible for Marketplace tax credits and have incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. They present potential targeted outreach strategies based on the characteristics of these groups.
A new State Health Reform Assistance Network issue brief developed by Manatt Health provides an update to an April 2015 report, and examines data regarding Medicaid expansion in eleven states, demonstrating that states continue to realize budget savings and revenue gains as a result of expanding Medicaid. Savings and increased revenue in expansion states fall into three major categories, including state savings from accessing enhanced federal matching funds, state savings from replacing general funds with Medicaid funds, and revenue gains through assessments or fees on providers and/or health plans.
Upcoming Events
May 19, 2016 2:00 pm
Join your grantmaking colleagues for a strategic conversation about making progress toward expanding Medicaid eligibility in the 19 remaining states. Participants will discuss such questions as: Which stakeholders are moving the issue forward and what role can foundations play? What are the conditions that enable expansion?

CityLink Hosting Spring Open House April 5th
'Taste of CityLink' event invites new and existing clients learn about the more than 15 different onsite services available at the center
On Tuesday April 5th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CityLink Center and its partner agencies will host their Spring Open House 'A Taste of CityLink' where interested parties can learn more about each of the specific services offered through the Center in one easy to navigate location in Cincinnati's West End. This event is free and open to the public.
The day is designed for anyone who could benefit from support in finding a job, managing personal finances, getting prepared for the GED, going on to college, or even IT training. There's no better way to learn if any of these programs are right for you, than by experiencing them first hand in a no-pressure open environment. The day will also feature existing CityLink clients sharing stories about their experiences and answer questions about their journey at the Center.
RSVP's are not required and visitors are welcome anytime between 10 and 2 pm and can expect to be on-site for at least an hour. Parking is plentiful and free in the CityLink lot. Light refreshments will be provided.
What: CityLink's Spring Open House 'A Taste of CityLink'
Where: CityLink Center 800 Bank Street
(in the West End on the corner of Linn and Bank St.)
When: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
One of CityLink's core service areas is Education, and rightfully so. Education is the cornerstone of economic self-sufficiency with 99% of local jobs requiring at least a high school diploma or equivalent to gain employment. We currently have two at-capacity GED classes filled with eager and dedicated adult learners being taught by Cincinnati Public School teachers and supported by a committed crew of CityLink volunteers who help in the classroom and lead twice weekly Study Tables where students get one-on-one support.
But the new GED test that was put into place just over 2 years ago has made this already arduous task an even tougher road to follow. We wrote about the detrimental effects of these changes on Ohio test takers last year in this blog.
Last month the administers of the GED Test announced some welcome changes to the way it determines passing scores. Based on nationwide feedback from test takers and administrators regarding the tests' difficulty level (not to mention its' increased cost and the fact that it's now given entirely online) the minimum passing score has been lowered by 5 points. This modification has inspired a renewed sense of hope and energy around our adult learners' ability to reach the finish line.
So What's the Big Deal?
According to numbers obtained by CleveScene, 540,000 individuals passed the GED test in 2013. But by the end of 2014, only about 55,000 had passed. Locally here in Ohio, just 3,699 people passed the test in 2014, that's 90% fewer than those who passed the test in Ohio throughout 2013 (over 15,000).
Here at CityLink, we had 14 clients earn their GED in 2013, compared to zero in 2014 and 1 in 2015. Yet we have students who have been working on their GED here since we opened 3 years. We'd say that's a pretty big problem, and based on the recent changes it's clear we're not the only ones who think so.
What's Changed?
Over the past couple of years, complaints have been constant and increasing and the testing service that administers the GED (a partnership between the American Council on Education, or ACE, and Pearson, the world's largest for-profit education company) has responded. At the end of January the group announced that they are lowering the minimum passing score by 5 points, from 150 to 145 out of 200 "recognizing that students who passed the latest, tougher version of it were doing better in college than high school graduates."
Five points may sound like a small drop, but the number of people who've tested — and will continue to test — in that range is immense.
In addition to the new lower cutoff score, the GED will introduce tiered pass rates for the first time. A score of 165-174 certifies readiness for college-level work without remediation. And a score above 175, earned by about 1 in 10 test takers, could make students eligible for up to 10 hours of college credit through ACE's Credit Recommendation Service.
This is a huge development and reflects what many adult educators including CityLink partners and volunteers, have been saying since the unveiling of the new test: the expectations were too high for the many people who need a GED credential to find employment to survive.
Why Did the Test Change in the First Place?
The 2014 revised version of the test was modified to be aligned with Common Core standards and aimed at college and career readiness. And while college readiness is a worthy aim, not all high school graduates do — or want — to go on to college. Why set that standard for GED graduates?
So the revamped test began serving a dual conflicted dual purpose. Historically its purpose was to help adults who didn't complete school show that they do possess the skills of a high school graduate; however the new test is positioned as an indicator of college-level skills. This effectively shut out many people who needed a GED credential from obtaining one.
Here's the Great News:
The great news is that Ohio has already decided to retroactively award GED credentials to people who scored a 145 which means 1,425 Ohioans who failed the test over the past two years are now being notified that they actually passed it or portions of it; including a few CityLink clients!
With education at the foundation of economic self-sufficiency, this change represents a positive move in the right direction for the many people who seek a GED credential to find employment, not four-year degrees, while simultaneously allowing test-takers with higher-ed ambitions the opportunity to show those college-ready skills.
Each October, CityLink hosts one of the most awesome events our city has to offer–MashUp! A collection of different performances and interactive art, plus drool worthy eats and libations (hello fresh grilled Nada sliders and ice cold Mad Tree!). One of the best things that comes out of MashUp each year is a lasting piece of Artwork created by our guests over the course of the evening.
In 2015, 600+ guests helped 'Make their Mark' on Cincinnati by placing their thumbprints across our city. This laser cut out of our city's neighborhoods represents so much more than just the geography of Cincinnati. Running along the banks of the Ohio these words are written:
"Cincinnati is home to 52 neighborhoods filled with thousands of people teeming with incredible potential. CityLink is a place where challenges are met, goals are accomplished and hope is fulfilled beyond great measure. Join us on the journey."
We seek to fill our walls with tangible reminders of the incredible God-given potential, talent and strength that exists within the hearts of those who make up our community.
Who knows what kinds of cool interactive art projects we'll come up with next! You can bet that whatever it is, you'll want to be a part of creating it…so be sure to save the date for MashUp 2016 on Friday October 7th!
Interested in serving as a sponsor, performing artist for food sponsor for MashUp? Man, you're awesome! We'd love to talk. Drop us a note by contact email@example.com and we'll provide more info!
Thanks again to our 2015 Interactive Art Sponsor, Phil Huff and CIP Retail.
Ever heard the idiom "Leap of Faith"? It's used often when someone is faced with an audacious choice – to stay in a place of safety of the known or to act on trusting in something that cannot be readily seen or proved.
CityLink was considered by some in the community to be a "Leap of Faith"; embarking on a journey to break the cycle of poverty that was difficult to comprehend possible outcomes. An outcome that housed co-located social services and where lives are transformed through integrated services mobilized by volunteers. But after many years of inching towards the edge, collectively thousands of Cincinnatians jumped together to make CityLink a reality…
…And soared! Since launching a full portfolio of social service partnerships in January 2013, we have served over 1000 unique clients with over 500 volunteers. This year, to keep the momentum going, we are recruiting our 5th class of AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteer In Service To America) for a total of 10 remarkable people.
The VISTA program is where an individual takes a "leap of faith". They make a mark in Cincinnati through CityLink Center's holistic approach to fighting generational and situational poverty. This leap means making sacrifices that include but aren't limited to: living at the same level of poverty as many of our clients, honing personal and professional development skills, and submitting to learn innovative and best practices within the non-profit sector.
Being a VISTA at CityLink could mean they are building and refining processes, expanding capacity of programs to serve more clients and empower more volunteers, developing financial resources, or cultivating how we share our story. And often there are projects and processes that are created and maintained that the outcome is not readily seen or proven, but leaves a lasting impression within our community.
Do you know someone who is looking for their next great adventure? Who may be courageous and brave to take a "leap of faith" with CityLink Center and AmeriCorps VISTA? Check out our listings with AmeriCorps VISTA HERE to see the various opportunities to make a mark in Cincinnati!
Everyday I get to witness the unsung heroes in our city who reach deep into reservoirs of resiliency to forge ahead.
I witness individuals who defy a mountain of obstacles to advance their lives through improved education, steady employment, and better financial disciplines. I see people building a better tomorrow for their children and for their family.
I see dissimilar lives come together and grow and learn from one another. I see people come with humble hearts to offer their hands and shoulders to one another.
I see a community actively pursue God's great command to love one another.
I love our city.
If you want to put your love for our city into action, join us for our next volunteer orientation March 3rd, 6pm.
Join us.
U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) recently toured CityLink Center and visited Per Scholas Cincinnati to show his support of Per Scholas' work with the long-term unemployed and to discuss his priorities as Co-Chair of the Senate Career and Technical Education Caucus.
During the visit, Portman shared how impressed he was with CityLink's integrated approach to social services and the support that people can find here. "CityLink Center is helping Ohioans get the skills they need to find good jobs. " He commented on his Facebook page. "Impressed with Cincinnati's CityLink Center, where people can go to find an integrated path towards self-sustainability and hope. As Co-Chair of the Senate Career and Technical Education Caucus, I was also glad to see the important work being done at Per Scholas Cincinnati to ensure Ohioans have the skills needed to fill the jobs that are available."
The Senator took the time met with Per Scholas leaders as well as students of the current IT Support cohort and commented on how determined and dedicated the Per Scholas' students were.
As Co-Chair of the Career and Technical Education Caucus and a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Portman wrote and passed an amendment that makes long-term unemployed Americans eligible for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which encourages businesses to hire hire long-term unemployed Ohioans, helping them get back on their feet. He says, "Six years after the recession was declared over, more than 2 million Americans have been unemployed 27 weeks or longer – and even that excludes the approximately 6 million Americans who say they want a job but are not counted as unemployed because they have given up searching. This provision creates an incentive for employers to hire those folks, the very people who have the most trouble finding work."

Robin came to CityLink in late 2013. She had lost her business of 25 years as a childcare provider and needed a fresh start. She shared that at one point things were so desperate that she became homeless. After landing a job soon after becoming a client at the Center in October of 2013, she then shifted her attention from job search to getting her finances in order. She began working with SmartMoney. She started budgeting, saving and paying down debt. At the time, Robin owned an unreliable SUV that was a drain on her budget due to gas so she set a goal to buy a car through Changing Gears.Not only did she purchase more affordable and reliable transportation through ChangingGears in 2014, she paid it off and not a single payment was late.
Today, Robin has set her sites on a new goal. Owning her own home. When she shared her plans to start looking for a way to buy a house, SmartMoney connected Robin with Habitat for Humanity and shared that she might be a good candidate for their homeownership program. Robin took her time with the paper work, gathered a list of volunteers that could help her build her home and took the process to heart. Her perseverance paid off…Robin was approved to build her home in Lockland in 2016! We can't wait to see all that she accomplishes in 2016!
In honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Robin spent her Monday off getting one step closer to her dream; building sheds and walls for her home and many others that Habitat for Humanity will build across the tri-state this year. Robin will begin construction on her home in the fall.
Read her story on Cincinnati.com:
Best in-class social service agencies aren't the only partnerships that make CityLink a place where hope thrives…our church network is also a BIG part of how CityLink supports clients with holistic care. For the third year in a row, Crossroads Church donated 150 tickets for CityLink clients and their families to experience The Awaited Show. Since we love Cincinnati, we may be a little biased, but it's the Greatest Christmas Production on the planet earth…and our clients tend to agree! Tons of CityLink families join us again and again for this special holiday tradition. And thanks to Landmark Baptist Church, our clients don't have to worry about how they'll get to the show or finding a place to park. Landmark not only donates their church bus, but also chauffeurs us each year to all three performance dates with cheerful smiles and even a few Christmas carols along the way. We are extremely thankful for the continued blessing 'the church' is to CityLink's mission and vision for a city bound together by a common thread and purpose.
Merry Christmas Cincinnati.
The carols are playing and the trees are lit – it's Christmas time at CityLink! With the holidays upon us, we had an awesome chance to capture some of the season's joy at CityLink's third annual Holiday Portrait Project. Thanks to the talent and generosity of photographers David Slaughter, Tony Arrasmith, Brian "Moose" Girton, Mark Nowak, Diana Kelly-Davis, Josh Beeman, and Todd Kough,
families in our community were blessed with the opportunity to have high quality family portraits taken. Over 130 families signed up to have their photos captured– each receiving a matted print and digital copies of the entire shoot. In addition to the photos, CityLink volunteers helped facilitate activities like cookie decorating and nativity story telling for the whole family to enjoy. We are so thankful for the kindness and generosity of everyone who helped provide our CityLink Family with these lasting and meaningful gifts.
Tony Arrasmith has this to say about his continued involvement with the Holiday Portrait Project:
"If you can imagine an elderly lady who has never had a formal portrait taken in her entire life. Then upon receiving the photo she looks up at you with tears in her eyes and says, "I didn't know I could look so beautiful", then she gives you a 20 second hug. You see beauty isn't just in the photography. It's the visual representation of family, a tangible and lasting bolster of confidence in seeing the possibilities within yourself you hadn't considered before. The beauty is the hope these photos inspire."

A motorist having difficulty breathing after the vehicle he was driving hit a pole in the 2300 block of 108th Street in West Allis about 1:30 p.m. today, and was taken to a nearby hospital by paramedics Wednesday afternoon, West Allis police said.
A witness told officers the driver lay on the ground after the impact about 1:30 p.m. but later was able to get up and walk to the median where his car had come to rest.
Police said the driver may also have hit a tree.
The cause of the accident appears to be medical, according to preliminary findings of police as alcohol and speed don't appear to be factors.
Highway 100 remained open while police cleared the scene.

Study finds link between swine flu and stillbirth
London: Women who contracted the swine flu virus while pregnant are at much greater risk of a stillbirth or have babies with birth defects, a new study has claimed, reinforcing the message that all pregnant women should get immunised against flu.
The study, carried out by researchers from the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University, examined the cases of every pregnant woman in the UK who was admitted to hospital while suffering from flu.
In 256 mothers infected with the H1N1 flu virus between September 2009 and January 2010, seven of the babies were stillborn and three died shortly after birth, it found.
That is the equivalent of 39 babies in 1,000 dying, before or shortly after birth, compared to 7 in 1,000 in mothers not infected with the virus, the BBC reported.
Dr Marian Knight, who led the research, said the study suggests that getting vaccinated against flu was the best protection.
"This new evidence of the risk to babies shows even more clearly the severe consequences H1N1 flu infection can have in pregnancy," Dr Knight said.
"By getting vaccinated against flu, women can prevent these risks to both themselves and their unborn child."
Figures from the Health Protection Agency in the UK show that the uptake of flu vaccinations among pregnant women was relatively low in the country.
Just over half of pregnant women considered to be in high risk groups, such as those with conditions like asthma, were vaccinated.
Janet Scott, research manager at Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, said seasonal flu is not normally linked with stillbirth so it was alarming that there were much higher rates associated with H1N1.

What about Q a4 check, king moves down, rook comes down to block the bishop with check... isn't that playable somehow? haven't worked it all the way through ...
On 1. Qa4+ Kf3+ (not an option on 1. Qe3+) 2. Rg3+ black can now play 2...Bxg3# because, unlike the main puzzle line, the black king is not on e3, which would prohibit 2...Bxg3# due to a double check by the white rook on g3 and the white bishop on h6.
1.bryan Qa4 is winning because it forces Ke3 only option for the king then
2.Rg3 is a double check therefore also forces Ke2 only option for the king then
3. Qc2 --> Ke1 --> Qd2 Mate
so Newt has the right idea
On 1. Qa4+ the black king can safely play 1...Kf3+!!, which will lead to checkmate for black. Remember 2. Rg3+ is not a double check, so black can legally respond 2...Bxg3#.
A thing I want to share with everyone coming up with an idea different from the puzzle solution: there is only one line for White that doesn't lose. Seek for the refutation of your own ideas yourself. Why is it wrong?
And for help on understanding the position, you can always go to comments page 2 and seek for post #27.
This is stalemate after the black King moves everywhere! Good game!!
weird and terrible
fat and homely
How is that stalemate,huh?
It is stalemate because the Black King is in 'double' check from both the White Bishop and the White Rook. Since it is impossible for Black to block checks from two different sources, Black has no choice but move his King to safety. As soon as Black moves his King, then White is stalemated, because all of his pieces are 'Pinned' and the King has no safe square to move to.
Brilliant - I'm in utter awe ! Completely above my pay grade. Usually I can understand both the question & the answer; at other times just the question. But in this case I couldn't understand the question or answer for a while - what's been gained I thought & why a draw ? Then the truth dawns on you that white has forced black to leave white without a single (legal) move.
Just breathtaking. How does anyone conceive of that in there minds ? I have nothing but admiration for them.
Sorry, didn't mean to gush quite so much but .....
This is simply beautiful :)
Composed very well!
