Unemployment News: Millions Still Waiting For Assistance From Congress

via zennie2005.blogspot.com

Zennie Abraham:

It isn’t difficult to see the unemployment news for America is not good. It is terrible and getting worse by the day. Millions of Americans are still waiting for assistance from Congress.

Unfortunately, those in Washington only care about the upcoming election, while the devastated long term unemployed are wondering how they will survive until help arrives. Too bad everyone running for office in the midterms isn’t forced to live in one of the tent cities depicted below (see all 3 videos) until Tier 5 is passed.

The post election unemployment nightmare is a great possibility. Is it to be or not to be - Your vote may decide. The following scenario is playing out all over the country and we just cannot afford to empower the Party of NO come November.

Hendry County (FL) - Sometimes the early birds arrive by 4 a.m. They line up in the dark, outside a beige, stucco building on East El Paso Avenue. By the time Hendry County (FL) social services opens, the queue can run 90 to 100 people deep – and they all need help.

Some can’t pay rent. Some are behind on utilities. Some can’t afford food. And just about every one of them is out of work.

“We have to prioritize,” said James Donald Coddington, the county’s social-services director. “We’re asking people questions like, Are your lights already turned off, or have you just gotten notice that they’re going to be turned off? ”

More on Florida’s highest unemployment rate. And please view the emotional videos below.

Galaxy color-magnitude diagram

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A mock-up of the galaxy color-magnitude diagram with three populations: the red sequence, the blue cloud, and the green valley.

The Galaxy color-magnitude diagram shows the relationship between absolute magnitude, luminosity, and mass of galaxies. A preliminary description of the three areas of this diagram was made in 2003 by Eric F. Bell et al. from the COMBO-17 survey^[

1] that clarified the bimodal distribution of red and blue galaxies as seen in analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey data^[2] and even in de Vaucouleurs' 1961 analyses of galaxy morphology^[3] Noticed in this diagram are three main features: the red sequence, the green valley, and the blue cloud. The red sequence includes most red galaxies which are generally elliptical galaxies. The blue cloud includes most blue galaxies which are generally spirals. In between the two distributions is an underpopulated space known as the green valley which includes a number of red spirals. Unlike the comparable HR diagram for stars, galaxy properties are not necessarily completely determined by their location on the color-magnitude diagram. The diagram also shows considerable evolution through time. The red sequence earlier in evolution of the universe was more constant in color across magnitudes and the blue cloud was not as uniformly distributed but showed sequence progression.
