The document discusses immigration in San Angelo, Texas. It notes that while immigrants make up 7% of the population and contribute significantly to the local economy and labor force, they often remain "invisible" due to language barriers and fears of deportation. Despite facing challenges like low wages and poverty, immigrant households rely less on public assistance than native-born households. The document calls for the community to embrace immigrant inclusion and ensure access to legal resources and integration services.
The document discusses means-tested welfare programs and universal programs like Social Security. It argues that means-tested programs are stigmatized because only a minority receive benefits, fueling discrimination. In contrast, universal programs tend to expand over time without stigma since most Americans benefit. Initially, Social Security and other New Deal programs excluded many groups like African Americans and women. However, the popularity of universal programs allowed them to gradually expand coverage to more groups. While means-testing draws negative attention, universalism promotes inclusion and closing of economic gaps.

For the elephants, your responsibilities are feeding them hay three times a day, cleaning them in the morning and evening, maintaining their habitat weekly, giving them shots every six months to prevent African horse sickness, and treating any injuries to their feet. Both animal viewing areas have safety measures like fences and railings to protect visitors.
Growing season rainfall in the eastern wheatbelt of Western Australia has decreased by 43.8mm (19%) since 1900, primarily due to losses in May and June rainfall. Summer rainfall, particularly in January, has increased by 32.5mm (60%), but the temperature increases of 0.7°C for maximum and 0.26°C for minimum temperatures reduce the value of this summer rainfall for plants. The observed changes in rainfall and temperatures are consistent with projections for mid-century climate change in the literature.

This document summarizes and reviews research on the use of animation versus static graphics to convey complex systems. The summary is:
1. Many studies that find animation helps learning fail to use equivalent static comparisons, so the benefits of animation alone cannot be determined. Animations often provide more information than the static graphics they are compared to.
2. Research that does make equivalent comparisons generally finds no benefits of animation over static graphics for learning complex systems. Animations may violate principles of good graphic design by being too complex or fast to perceive accurately.
3. Animations may be better suited than static graphics for some tasks like spatial reorientation, but generally do not improve learning complex systems compared to well-designed static graphics

Democracia and allied organizations helped stop the passage of two anti-immigrant bills in Florida through a Spanish language ad campaign targeting prominent Hispanic legislators supporting the bills. The campaign urged the community to mobilize against the bills and their sponsors, leading one legislator to publicly oppose the measures and the other to vote against their own proposal. Politicians in Florida and Pennsylvania are also attempting to suppress voter participation through restrictive voting laws, despite providing no evidence of voter impersonation problems. Democracia opposes these efforts as barriers to participation in democracy.

Policy Analysis.The Older American's Act of 1965 to TodaySarah Smith
The Older Americans Act of 1965 was passed to address several problems facing older adults in the 1960s, including income insecurity, lack of access to quality health and social services, inadequate housing, and lack of opportunities for productive living. Before programs like Social Security and Medicare, over 30% of Americans over age 65 lived in poverty.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Resolution 15 resolution Security
01 - Supporting Social
This Resolution was Approved By the National Latino Congreso on Day 3, Sunday, March 27, 2011
Author: Mr. Chris Espinosa
Organization: Hispanic Federation
WHEREAS, Social Security is critical to the well being and economic security of Latinos, providing benefits to nearly
one out of every six Latino households;
WHEREAS, Social Security is an essential social insurance program that protects Latinos and their families if they
cannot work because of age or disability;
WHEREAS, Social Security benefits compromise nearly all the income for almost half, 44.2 percent, of Latino elderly
households and represent over 75 percent of the total income of Latino elderly households receiving benefits;
WHEREAS, the average Social Security benefit in 2008 for Latino men over the age of 65 was only $12,213 and
$9,536 for Latina women;
WHEREAS, the elderly Latino poverty rate would increase from around 18 percent to over 50 percent without Social
Security;
WHEREAS, many members of the undocumented community pay into and support the Social Security Trust Fund
and can only benefit from their investments when legalized and that these contributions are stabalizing Social
Security for all United States citizens; and
WHEREAS, Social Security has never contributed a single penny to the national deficit and currently has a trust fund
of more than $2.5 trillion;
WHEREAS, Social Security has always been “off-budget,” independent from the general U.S. budget with a
dedicated revenue stream from payroll contributions;
WHEREAS, there are numerous plans to make Social Security fully solvent for the next 75 years without any cuts to
benefits or increase in the retirement age.
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that organizations represented by delegates of the 2011 National Latino
Congreso oppose any reduction in Social Security benefits or increase in the retirement age; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that organizations represented by delegates of the 2011 National Latino Congreso call
on the President and the United States Congress to exclude Social Security from being a part of any legislation to
reduce the federal deficit; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that organizations represented by the delegates of the 2011 National Latino Congreso
support efforts to protect and strengthen Social Security; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that organizations represented by the delegates of the 2011 National Latino Congreo
support efforts to ensure all deported persons that worked in this country and contributed their savings into the Social
Security system receive payments whereever they may be
