This document discusses how economic shifts and natural disasters affect vulnerable populations in low and middle-income countries. While the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has declined globally, nearly 1 billion people still live in poverty. Extreme poverty is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia and is worsened by slow employment growth, volatile commodity prices, and natural disasters. Research studies in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh found that economic downturns and natural disasters increase food insecurity, malnutrition, and lower educational attainment, especially for vulnerable groups. However, certain health, nutrition, and cash transfer programs were shown to help mitigate the effects of poverty and protect vulnerable populations.
Chronic pains are highly prevalent conditions that are often linked through metaflammation and lifestyle factors. When pain becomes chronic, it undergoes pathological changes including sensitization of the peripheral and central nervous system. Effective management of chronic pains requires a multimodal approach that addresses both the source of pain and pain control through non-invasive and minimally invasive methods before considering more aggressive options.

Designing Voice-Driven Game Experiences | Dave IsbitskiJessica Tams
Delivered at Casual Connect USA. Game developers often wonder what’s next. Is it AR? VR? One new technology we don’t need to wonder about is Voice Interfaces. Voice command interfaces aren’t a question of ‘if’ or ‘when’ anymore; they’re already happening. In this session you will hear about the most common (and amusing) traps developers fall into when designing audio interfaces and learn industry best practices for designing apps and games that work with voice services.
Here are some key reasons why so few bills become law:
- Many bills die in committee without ever receiving a floor vote. Committees have significant gatekeeping power and can choose not to advance bills.
- There are many opportunities for bills to be blocked, amended, or fail to receive majority support. They must pass both the House and Senate in identical form and then be signed by the President.
- Bills can be derailed by filibusters in the Senate, which require 60 votes to overcome. This makes it difficult to pass controversial legislation.
- Compromise is difficult to achieve when there are ideological divides between the two parties and chambers. It takes consensus to enact new laws.
- Some bills
