Getting assistance and help in finally removing our neighbor's fallen dead birch tree. A random arborist (Francisco) came out of nowhere and decided to remove our neighbor's fallen dead birch tree early this evening. A recent strong storm had finally blew it over. I actually helped out a bit at least bring some of the branches and twigs out on the street. Cost: $350 after some 'talk' from my parents to lower the price since he wanted $400! Next, the cost to repair the fence awaits... Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Sunday, February 3, 2019; 5:36 p.m.)
*Weather scenario/update for the beginning week of February 2019:
The strongest storm of the season had battered California with flooding rains, damaging winds & thunderstorms… A dynamically impressive system had arrived just last Friday. This event featured a rapidly-strengthening surface low near the North Coast. This kind of set-up had the potential to bring very strong winds to parts of NorCal. Such events are subject to uncertainty right up to the day of the event. Luckily, this event had produced winds that were a bit less severe than expected in the Bay Area Friday evening, though local gusts were still damaging (which caused our neighbor’s dead birch tree to fall on our fence/shed). Some gusts were impressive at least for the standards of my area. In addition to the risk of damaging winds in NorCal, the presence of a favorable jet dynamics have created a rather impressive cold frontal passage. Torrential downpours, strong southerly winds & t-storms have occurred in NorCal during the frontal passage with numerous t-storm activity in the Central Valley areas behind the front due to an unstable air mass left behind especially on Saturday & into this day Sunday. After this large storm had passed, another colder system was to dip south from the Pacific Northwest into our state bringing snow levels down to near sea level in local areas of the Bay Area. The weather was to get quite interesting heading into Tuesday morning…

Governor John Carney celebrated Monday the fifth anniversary of the State Rental Assistance Program, which has provided housing for 1,200 Delawareans through a unique collaboration supporting those in special need of help. The anniversary event took place at DHSS’ Holloway Campus.
“We are providing a bridge to independence, helping more Delawareans live self-sufficient lives,” said Governor Carney. “SRAP is a great example of how government agencies can work together to more efficiently deliver important services, and effectively help Delawareans in need. Thank you also to members of the General Assembly for their continued support of the program.”
The State Rental Assistance Program, or SRAP, provides rental vouchers to low-income Delawareans who require affordable housing and supportive services to live safely and independently in the community. Case managers help provide or coordinate those services and support residents through the rental process. SRAP helps particularly vulnerable populations – people exiting or at risk of admission to state long-term care institutions, youth aging out of foster care, and families for whom housing is a barrier to reunification, among others. All clients must be referred by an agency or partner.
Since 2011, more than 200 SRAP clients have successfully transitioned out of the program, either by handling rental payments on their own or by receiving housing assistance from another source. There are more than 720 families and individuals currently housed through SRAP.
SRAP client Zoraida Baez, who was featured in a video played Monday’s event, found the first apartment she has lived in that she can call her own through the program. “It’s such a relief,” said Baez, of Newark, who has also experienced homelessness. “I love it. I can come and go when I want. It’s my own place.”
SRAP is operated jointly by the Delaware State Housing Authority, which issues the vouchers; DHSS, which refers clients in various programs; and the Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families, which refers former foster youth and reunification families. Funding comes from the state’s General Fund through DSHA, as well as through DHSS’ Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, totaling $5.3 million.
“This is about caring for the whole person – not just looking at one part of their needs at a time,” said DSHA Director Anas Ben Addi. “We heard from advocates that the lack of affordable housing is a barrier to many low-income people and families with special needs to live and be successful, and we responded. This partnership shows that it is possible to serve people better, with a better quality of life, while reducing public costs.”
“The State Rental Assistance Program gives vulnerable populations the one thing we all want: The opportunity to have a place to call home,” said DHSS Secretary Dr. Kara Odom Walker. “For people leaving facilities or individuals with disabilities, these housing vouchers offer an affordable and safe way for them to live in the community. It’s not always easy to start anew, but the teamwork of SRAP makes the transition manageable, including connecting clients to supportive services. The collaboration across state government provides a better quality of life for the vulnerable people we serve, saves the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and helps us build a healthier Delaware.”
“For young people leaving our foster care system, the challenges of transitioning to adulthood can be quite daunting. Sometimes their most basic needs, like a safe and affordable home, can seem unobtainable,” said DSCYF Secretary Josette Manning. “The SRAP program helps our youth secure a home so they can focus on meeting their other needs, such as education, employment and even basic health services. We are extremely grateful for this program because without it, it would be impossible for our foster children to thrive as adults.”

U.S President Obama (R) spoke today by phone with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer his condolences on behalf of the American people following today’s horrific terrorist attacks in Brussels. The President reaffirmed the steadfast support of the United States for Belgium, and offered any assistance necessary in investigating these attacks and bringing those responsible to justice. The President reiterated that the United States stands together with the people of Belgium, as well as NATO and the European Union, and once again pledged the full cooperation and support of the United States in our shared commitment to defeat the scourge of terrorism.

Originally built in 1938-1939 with assistance from the New Deal-era Public Works Administration (PWA), the main building of Wallace Rider Farrington High School was designed in the Art Deco style by notable Hawaiian architect Charles William Dickey (C. W. Dickey). The school was named for Wallace Rider Farrington (1871-1933), an American journalist whom served as the sixth territorial governor of Hawaii from 1921 until 1929, which has become controversial in recent times as awareness of his support of policies favoring the domination of whites in Hawaii has become more prevalent. The school was established in 1936 to help expand the access to public secondary education among students on Oahu, owing to the minimum age of employment being raised and greater automation and efficiency leading to less need for plantation workers. The school’s main structure features geometric decorative Art Deco motifs with both simple geometric forms and stylized foliage, with multiple concrete and metal screens, open air corridors, fluted pilasters, a decorative sculptural flagpole base, a hipped roof, concrete structure and exterior walls, and a C-shaped layout wrapping a rear courtyard being the defining features of the building. The original building was utilized by the United States Army as a hospital during World War II, before being fully returned to civilian usage after the war. Following World War II, buildings were added to the campus, including the modernist Joseph Rider Farrington Community Auditorium, a natatorium with stadium seating, several additional classroom buildings scattered to the rear of the original building, a large gymnasium, a postmodern-style library, and a series of portable classrooms intended to add additional temporary classroom space. The front of the school features a sculpture known as The Seed created by local artist Satoru Abe. The school presently serves a majority Asian American and Pacific Islander population, with many being from the surrounding neighborhoods that have a lower income levels than most other areas of Honolulu. The school is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture and of the impact that programs funded by the New Deal had on the Hawaiian islands.

The changing face of insurance and assistance
How are insurers and assistance companies reacting to the change in priorities they are seeing amongst their clients? The pandemic, combined with recent geopolitical tensions, have thrown the importance of comprehensive health insurance and assistance into sharp relief, but are policies keeping up with demand, and how can assistance companies ensure their networks are reactive enough to cope with what customers need?
