Caltech launches prototype to harvest solar power in space

Caltech scientists in Pasadena celebrated Tuesday the launch of a Space Solar Power Demonstrator prototype into orbit as part of an ambitious effort to harvest solar power in space and beam that energy back to Earth.

The prototype was launched on a SpaceX rocket from Cape Canaveral Tuesday morning. The launch marked a major milestone in Caltech's Space Solar Power Project,

which aims to deploy a constellation of spacecraft that collect sunlight, transform it into electricity, then transmit it over long distances wherever it is needed -including to places that have no access to reliable power.

When fully realized, the project could make what was once considered science fiction a reality, researchers said.

"Space solar power provides a way to tap into the

practically unlimited supply of solar energy in outer space, where the energy is constantly available without being subjected to the cycles of day and night, seasons and cloud cover," according to Caltech.

Caltech's Space Solar Power Project got its start after philanthropist Donald Bren, chairman of Irvine Company and a lifetime member of the Caltech Board of Trustees, learned about the potential for space-based

solar energy manufacturing in an article in Popular Science magazine. In 2013 Bren and his wife Brigitte, a Caltech trustee, agreed to donate funds set to eventually exceed $100 million for the project through the Donald Bren Foundation.

"For many years, I've dreamed about how spacebased solar power could solve some of humanity's most urgent challenges," Bren said. "I'm thrilled to be supporting

Caltech's brilliant scientists as they race to make that dream a reality."

Following Tuesday's launch, the Caltech team on Earth plans to start running experiments within a few weeks, with testing and data collection expected to continue for several months.

"No matter what happens, this prototype is a major step forward," said SSPP Co-Director Ali Hajimiri, who is also Caltech's Bren professor of

electrical engineering and medical engineering. "It works here on Earth, and has passed the rigorous steps required of anything launched into space. There are still many risks, but having gone through the whole process has taught us valuable lessons. We believe the space experiments will provide us with plenty of additional useful information that will guide the project as we continue to move forward."

Former San Gabriel Police Chief Gene Harris takes the helm as Pasadena PD’s chief

On Jan. 3, Police Chief Gene Harris transitioned from the San Gabriel Police Department to become the new police chief for the city of Pasadena.

During his six-year tenure Harris led with a focus on policies that engaged the community and promoted team-oriented techniques. The SGPD developed close relationships with community organizations including the Lions Club, San Gabriel Kiwanis Club, La Casa de San Gabriel and the Asian Youth Center, according to a city of San Gabriel statement.

“I’m honored to have served the San Gabriel community and interacted with so many wonderful people here,” Harris said in a statement. “It has been a great experience in the City of San Gabriel, and it has helped me further develop my skills and understanding in my quest to become an exemplary public servant.”

To encourage leadership development within the department, Harris connected the SGPD with training at the national level aimed at enhancing its knowledge of law enforcement practices and leadership skills. Officers attended programs at agencies that included the FBI National Academy, West Point Leadership Program and POST Command College.

Harris, who was president

of the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs’ Association and a member of the California Police Chiefs Association, also created the SGPD’s Community Engagement Bureau “to better engage with the community, provide mental health evaluation and serve as a resource at San Gabriel schools,” officials reported.

“Chief Harris is an important part of the San Gabriel city leadership team. I’m grateful for his work fostering next-generation leaders and developing SGPD into a community-focused police department,” San Gabriel City Manager Mark Lazzaretto said in a statement. “We will miss his infectious laugh, positive attitude and excellent leadership. We wish him the best of luck for his next adventure.”

Harris has nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience, according to the city of Pasadena’s announcement. A former Marine, Harris started in law enforcement as a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, then served for 23 years in the Monterey Park Police Department where he attained the rank of captain. In 2016 he became San Gabriel’s police chief.

Along with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from the University of Phoenix and a master’s degree in law enforcement and public safety leadership from the Univer-

sity of San Diego, Harris is a graduate of the West Point Leadership Program, POST Command College and the FBI National Academy, according to Pasadena’s announcement.

Harris has also served on numerous professional organizations and authored a book, “The Zero Stress Zone, a Layman’s Guide to Stress Management.”

“Chief Harris is a wellknown leader in law enforcement. His interpersonal and communication skills and his proven approach to proactive and community policing will bring about the effective implementation of ever-evolving best practices to keep our community safe,” Pasadena City Manager Miguel Márquez said in a statement. “I am confident he will lead our peace officers with distinction and will become an invaluable member of the greater Pasadena community.”

In a statement Harris said he is “honored to be entrusted with this amazing opportunity and … humbled by the responsibility to our residents, visitors, and the men and women of our department. Together, we will continue to enhance the culture of proactive community policing and exceptional service to our stakeholders.”

As San Gabriel officials search for a new police chief, SGPD Capt. Riki Nakamura will serve as interim chief.

Monterey Park COVID: Free athome tests, vax clinic in January

The city of Monterey Park is offering free at-home COVID-19 tests to all residents who want them, and a free vaccination clinic is scheduled for Jan. 12 in Barnes Park, the city announced earlier this month.

COVID-19 positivity rates and hospitalizations are increasing in Los Angeles County coinciding with the holiday season. In addition to strongly recommending indoor mask-wearing, Department of Public Health officials recommend COVID testing before attending social gatherings -- especially if a get-together includes people at increased risk such as the elderly or people with preexisting medical conditions.

Monterey Park, which has a population of about 60,000, has had a total of 16,804 COVID cases and 263

virus-related deaths since the pandemic began, according to LA County data.

Free coronavirus test kits, which the Chinatown Service Center donated, are available at Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library and the Langley Senior Center. There is a limit of two boxes per person.

On Jan. 12, the Monterey Park Fire Department and Chinatown Service Center will provide a free vaccination clinic from 10:00 a.m. to noon in Barnes Park on the grassy area east of the tennis courts between City Hall and the gymnasium. The clinic will provide Pfizer and Moderna booster vaccines in addition to flu shots. Appointments are not required, and everyone age 6 months or older is eligible as long as six months have passed since receiving a second dose of the Pfizer or

Moderna COVID vaccine. The county health department runs a drive-up-only testing site in Monterey Park at East Los Angeles College, 1301 Avenida Cesar Chavez. No appointment is necessary, and information is available at covid19.lacounty.gov/testing.

Langley Senior Center is located at 400 West Emerson Ave. The center is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to noon.

Bruggemeyer Library is at 318 South Ramona Ave. The library's hours of operation are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Wednesday and Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Starting Jan. 3, the library will be open Tuesday and Wednesday, noon to 8 p.m., and Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Glendale fire captain settles suit alleging demotion tied to chief's alleged order

Career corner: Prepare for your 2023 job search

It's a new year, and a new opportunity to find the career that is meant for you. January is the perfect time to begin to set new goals, and look toward the future. So, what can you expect from 2023?

First and foremost, hiring is still happening. As seen on TV, there have been a number of layoffs in recent months. But, keep in mind that there are specific industries that are experiencing layoffs and only a small portion of employees are impacted. These layoffs do not mean that the entire job market is down. The United States unemployment rate in November was 3.7 percent. This shows that overall, the market is still strong.

A big focus of 2023 will be the diverse work options available. With the pandemic, many companies went fully remote. As time has gone by, some companies are asking employees to come back to the office full time. Other companies

have created hybrid models that allow employees to come to the office a few days each week, and to work from home the remaining days. Employees will begin to seek out opportunities that align to their lifestyles. It is interesting to note that there are fewer work from home jobs being posted, and they are receiving a high volume of applicants. If you're a hiring manager, you may want to keep this in mind.

Lifestyle will also continue to be a large focus in 2023. In the past two years, employees have prioritized health and quality of life more. There will continue to be an emphasis on work life balance. Employers will continue to test out new benefits, such as mental health days.

Wages will continue to rise during 2023. However, do not expect to see the large jumps we saw in the previous few years. If you are looking for a new job, do your research. Sites such as Glass-

door and LinkedIn will help you to understand what the current pay rate is for your role in your industry.

When you are job searching in 2023, consider the industry that you are looking in. There are some sectors, such as financial services, travel, and government contracting that are seeing growth this year. There are other sectors such as tech that are less stable.

No matter what sort of job you're pursuing, the time to get started is now. Do not sit and wait for a job to find you. Make your job search a

priority. And, if you haven't looked for a job in a few years, brace yourself. Things have changed. The online application process is a long one. It can be discouraging at times. You will apply to many jobs that you won't hear back from at all. Know that this is normal now. It's not you, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Hang in there. Keep moving forward, and you'll find something in the New Year before you know it.

Monrovia Old Town report: Gift of gab

It means to have the ability to speak with eloquence and fluency; a talent that is not as common these days. Gifting and gabbing, on the other hand, seems to be very prevalent, especially during the holiday season of giving.

We have all seen the pictures on Facebook and Instagram: Christmas trees with what looks like hundreds of presents spilling out from beneath its branches with no regard for the people that might not have the money to buy one or two gifts. Therein lies the conundrum. Should one be shamed just because they have the ability to provide as many gifts as they want for their family and friends? Or is there a responsibility for kindness and modesty?

I’m not sure what the answer is. I have always instructed my children not to brag to their classmates about gifts they receive because not all children have the same circumstances. I do, however, love the look of a beautiful Christmas tree that has beautifully wrapped color-coordinated presents piled beneath it. I guess I’m starting to think it’s just plain tacky to share the images. Pictures in your photo albums are quite different than things you choose to share on social media.

What about businesses? When a business owner does a good deed like donating goods or money and then posts about the deed. Are you more likely to be offended or to become a customer or client? The good deed is still beneficial to those who receive it, but is the intention behind the gift pure? In the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra explains that the more you give, the more you will receive because you keep the abundance of the universe circulating in your life. If through the act of giving, you feel you have lost something, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase. If you give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving. It is the intention behind your giving and receiving that is the most important thing.

When my youngest was 10 years old, I had an early morning meeting and we couldn’t go to the first mass on Ash Wednesday. My daughter was so upset because she said she liked going to school with her ashes because she got a lot of compliments. My son, who was 17 at the time, did a darn good job of quoting Matthew when he told her that she isn’t supposed to blow a trumpet when she gives alms, like a hypocrite. She should always give alms in secret because God can see and that’s all that is important, aside from doing something good. It was a proud mommy moment, for sure. He might have been the only one of my four kids that actually paid attention at church.

Whenever you are able, do good for those who need help. I suppose if someone is bragging about the good they do, it doesn’t negate the deed. Perhaps it just changes the circulation of the path of abundance for the giver. “Modesty is a virtue” used to be a religious term because if you are not calling attention upon yourself, you are glorifying God. However, it has also been said that modesty is a “will-power” virtue and likens it to courage, self-control, and patience. These virtues help one to overcome inclinations that are contrary to virtue and so serve to help one overcome moral obstacles.

I don’t have the answer. Just thoughts and yours are welcome on this. I know that people doing good things for others is always good. I also know it is a huge pet peeve of mine when people do these things and then photograph and post it. The deed goes from selfless to selfish, in my humble and not so important, opinion. What do you think? Email me at shawn@girlfridaysolution.net.

Big plays lead to Penn State's 35-21 Rose Bowl win over Utah

Freshman Nicholas

Singleton ran 87 yards for the tie-breaking touchdown in the third quarter and Sean Clifford threw the longest touchdown pass in Rose Bowl history in the fourth quarter to give Penn State a 35-21 victory over Utah Monday in the 109th edition of college football’s oldest bowl game.

Clifford, a sixth-year senior, was selected as the Offensive Player of the Game, completing 16 of 21 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns.

Nittany Lions safety Ji’Ayir Brown was selected as the Defensive Player of the Game for making a game-highequaling eight tackles, including 1 1/2 quarterback sacks, and a third-quarter interception.

The Penn State defense made five of its six sacks in the second half, including four of backup quarterback Bryson Barnes, who replaced injured starter Cameron Rising midway through the third quarter.

“In the second half we had to take a look at ourselves,” Brown said. “A lot of emotions happened in this game when guys start to get out of their way of the scheme.

“Second half we went in the locker room and everybody got their jitters out and we just played together, trusted each other a little more and we was able to execute more on more

plays.”

Rising was injured when he was tackled on a 9-yard run.

Rising suffered a leg injury coach Kyle Whittingham said “doesn’t look good.”

“We’ll wait for confirmation from the medical people at a later date, either tonight or tomorrow,” Whittingham said. “Looks like it could be something that takes a while to recover from.”

This is the second consecutive year Rising has been injured in the Rose Bowl. The graduate of Newbury Park High School in Ventura County missed nearly the final 10 minutes of the Jan. 1, 2022, game when he was sacked and his helmet hit the ground hard as he fell. He stayed down for a few minutes while receiving attention from trainers and eventually walked off the field and to the medical tent under his own power.

Clifford’s 88-yard touchdown pass to KeAndre Lambert-Smith 11 seconds into the fourth quarter broke the record of 76 yards set by Michigan’s Rick Leach to Curt Stephenson in 1978.

“It was up for debate whether we wanted to take a shot,” Clifford said. “It was third down and 4 and I’d been seeing the same look all game so I was definitely a proponent for taking that shot and I knew KeAndre wanted it too.”

Lambert-Smith out-ran the defense to catch Clifford’s

pass just past the 50-yard line and sprinted into the end zone.

Freshman Kaytron Allen ran 1 yard for the final touchdown for the 11-2 Nittany Lions with 10 minutes, 36 seconds remaining.

The loss was then 10-4 Utes’ second in the Rose Bowl in two appearances over two seasons. Utah lost to Ohio State, 48-45, on New Year’s Day, 2022, in their Rose Bowl debut, unable to hold a 35-21 halftime lead, with C.J. Stroud throwing three of his six touchdown passes in the second half and Noah Ruggles kicking the tie-breaking 19-yard field goal with nine seconds left.

Utah was scoreless on its first five drives Monday without Rising before Barnes threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Dixon with 25 seconds to play.

Penn State outgained the Utes, 448 yards to 391, but trailed 23-14 in first downs and 35:13-24:47 in time of possession.

Rising completed eight of 21 passes for 95 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Barnes completed 10 of 19 passes for 112 yards and one touchdown with one interception.

“When you look at us and our issues in this game, didn’t throw the ball efficiently enough, not nearly as efficiently as we’ve been throwing it all season long,” Whitting-

ham said.

Utah was scoreless on its first five drives Monday without Rising before Barnes threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Dixon with 25 seconds to play.

Penn State outgained the Utes, 448 yards to 391, but trailed 23-14 in first downs and 35:13-24:47 in time of possession.

Rising completed eight of 21 passes for 95 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Barnes completed 10 of 19 passes for 112 yards and one touchdown with one interception.

“When you look at us and our issues in this game, didn’t throw the ball efficiently enough, not nearly as efficiently as we’ve been throwing it all season long,” Whittingham said.

The victory was the Nittany Lions’ second in their five Rose Bowl appearances and first in two under James Franklin. Franklin was Penn State’s coach in its most recent Rose Bowl appearance before Monday, a 52-49 loss to USC on Jan. 2, 2017.

The Nittany Lions opened the scoring with seven seconds left in the first quarter on Singleton’s 5-yard run culminating a 13-play, 82-yard drive that began when Kalen King intercepted a pass by Rising at Penn State’s 18-yard line.

Singleton ran for a gamehigh 120 yards and two touchdowns in seven carries.

The next three drives also resulted in touchdowns.

Utah drove 75 yards on 13 plays, with Rising throwing a 1-yard pass to tight end Thomas Yassmin for the score. Yassmin began his football career as a freshman in 2018 after playing rugby at The Scots College, a primary and secondary boys’ school in New South Wales, Australia.

The Nittany Lions responded with a six-play, 70-yard drive with Clifford throwing a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Tinsley with 4:47 left in the first half.

The Utes again tied the score on redshirt freshman Ja’Quinden Jackson’s 19-yard touchdown run 2:38 before halftime.

The temperature was 54 degrees at kickoff, the coldest since 1960 and fifth coldest all-time. The skies were overcast, the first time a Rose Bowl opening kickoff occurred without sunshine since 2017.

Utah earned its second consecutive Rose Bowl berth with a 47-24 victory over USC in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game Dec. 2.

Penn State received its berth after Michigan and Ohio State both finished in the top four in the final College Football Playoff rankings, putting both in the playoff. Penn State was the only other Big Ten team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Because New Year’s Day fell on a Sunday, the game was played one day later than usual because of the Tournament of Roses Association’s “Never on Sunday” rule. This was the 15th time the Rose Bowl was played on Jan. 2 and the first since 2017.

This was likely be the last time the Rose Bowl is guaranteed its traditional Big Ten-Pac-12 matchup. The next game will be a College Football Playoff semifinal. Beginning with the 2024 season, the Rose Bowl will be a playoff quarterfinal in the years it is not a playoff semifinal in the expanded 12-team playoff. Each of the New Year’s six bowl games will continue to be playoff semifinals once every three years.

The Rose Bowl annually matched teams from what are now the Big Ten and Pac-12 from Jan. 1, 1947, through Jan. 1, 2001. The Rose Bowl served as the Bowl Championship Series national championship game on Jan. 3, 2002, the first of five nontraditional matchups through 2011, including the Jan. 4, 2006, BCS national championship game.

The Rose Bowl has annually matched Big Ten and Pac-12 teams since 2012, except in 2018 and 2021 when the game served as a College Football Playoff semifinal.

The Nittany Lions’ victory narrowed the Pac-12’s lead over the Big Ten to 39-33.

ACedars-Sinai health care patient is suing the health system and hospital for allegedly sharing private patient information with such platforms as Meta and Google without his permission via the Cedars-Sinai website.

The plaintiff was identified only as John Doe in the proposed Los Angeles Superior Court class-action lawsuit, the allegations of which include invasion of privacy, breach of contract, negligence and violations of the state’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act and Unfair Competition Law.

The suit filed Friday seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages as well as an injunction against such sharing of information with third parties without the patient’s permission.

A Cedars-Sinai representative said Tuesday the hospital and health care service do not comment on pending litigation.

According to the suit, the information at issue is gathered on the Cedars-Sinai

website on which patients are encouraged to research their medical symptoms and health issues, identify doctors who can treat their specific conditions, set medical appointments and make other choices related to their personal health care.

“When doing this, patients convey highly private information, including medical information, through the website,” the suit states.

Doe and other patients believed Cedars-Sinai would keep their information private, but the defendants instead took the opposite course by sharing the patients’ personal information with such platforms as Meta, Google, Microsoft Bing and other marketing and social media outlets, the suit alleges.

The information was relayed to the third parties by use of a tracking code embedded in the CedarsSinai website for the sole purpose of sharing such information with marketing entities, the suit states.

“This code served as real time wiretaps on patients’ communications,” the suit states. “Cedars-Sinai’s goal in installing the tracking code was not to provide any benefit to its patients, but only to itself.”

By installing the tracking code, Cedars-Sinai enabled the marketing entities to use patients’ private information to target them with advertising by additional unrelated businesses, the suit states. As an example, according to the suit, if a patient made an appointment with a doctor for treatment of cancer, the tracking code Cedars-Sinai put on its website conveyed that information to Meta, which in turn allowed Meta to include that patient in marketing target groups that it offered to its other advertising clients who wanted to market to cancer patients.

“Cedars-Sinai facilitated this communication without authorization … because it did not give … any hint that the transmission was happening,” the suit states.

Consumer groups: Recalled airbags pose greater threat in 2023

It's a brand-new year, and consumer auto safety groups are hoping to avoid further deaths from faulty Takata air bags by raising awareness about the ongoing recall.

More than 41 million vehicles from 34 brands, and from model years 2000 to 2018, are affected.

Michael Brooks, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, warned the ammonium nitrate which causes the air bags to inflate has become unstable and can explode, with even a small fender bender.

"When there's an air bag trigger, that means that you're just going to have an uncontrolled explosion that, instead of pushing the gas into the air bag, simply destroys the entire housing of the air bag and shrapnel out towards the driver or the passenger, and causes injuries or death," Brooks explained.

Thirty-four deaths have been recorded worldwide so far since the recall started in 2018, with 25 in the U.S. including five of them in 2022 alone.

Fiat Chrysler issued a "stop drive" warning for 276,000 vehicles in November for model years 2005 to 2010 Dodge Magnums, Chargers and Challengers, as well as model years 2005 to 2010 Chrysler 300s. At least two of the deaths this year involved 2010 Dodge Chargers.

Brooks called the vehicles "ticking time bombs" which get more dangerous as time goes on, and he wants states to require owners to get the defect fixed.

"Maybe states need to step in and refuse registration to vehicles that haven't had the

recall repair performed yet, effectively forcing consumers to save their own lives," Brooks suggested.

The repairs are free, and some manufacturers are even offering $100 gift cards to entice people to bring in their vehicles. People can check to see if their vehicle is on the recall list on the website

SafeAirBags.com.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING MONROVIA CITY COUNCIL 415 SOUTH IVY AVENUE MONROVIA, CA 91016

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-01

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the City Council of the City of Monrovia at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, in the City Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California to consider Resolution No. 2023-01 to increase the City’s Traffic Impact Fee from $2,153 to $2,353 per net new afternoon peak hour trip generated by each project.

The Monrovia City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2019-05 and Resolution No. 2019-43 to implement the City’s Traffic Impact Fee which was imposed to generate funds to construct improvements to mitigate the anticipated traffic impacts associated with growth that will be caused by new development.

An increase to the City’s Traffic Impact Fee based on the provisions of Ordinance 2019-05, based on the California Construction Cost Index (CCCI) is proposed and will be considered by the Monrovia City Council. For the calendar year 2022, the CCCI increased 9.3%.

Inflation is significantly stressing 75% of Americans – here's how they're making ends meet

Inflation is significantly stressing 75% of Americans—here's how they're making ends meet

If you drive a car, buy groceries, eat out at restaurants, or have spent money on pretty much anything in the United States in the last 12 months, you've likely felt the impact of this period of record-high inflation.

Inflation hit its highest point in 40 years in June 2022, with prices for all consumer goods rising 9.1% over 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And while the October data shows that inflation is slowing down—consumer goods are now 7.7% higher year-over-year—it's still significantly higher than the Federal Reserve's desired 2% average.

For some, inflation may feel like a pinch—an involuntary eyebrow raise at check-out, a reason to budget more carefully. But for roughly 3 in 5 Americans already living paycheckto-paycheck, already being supported by federal assis-

tance programs, already depleting their savings if they have it, or maxing out credit cards to get by, the increasing prices can feel like a chokehold.

Grocery prices alone were more than 12% higher year-over-year in October. Paying just under $3 for a dozen eggs or $1 per pound more for chicken may seem nominal, but these increases add up quickly, forcing many people to make do with less.

Foothold Technology analyzed data from the Census Bureau's latest Household Pulse Survey, released Nov. 29, to determine how Americans are making ends meet during this period of high inflation. The survey asked respondents to rate their level of stress ("Very stressful," "Moderately stressful," "A little stressful," or "Not at all stressful") caused by the increase in prices over the last two months. In this analysis, if respondents reported "Very stressful" or "Moderately stressful," they were considered stressed by

inflation.

Previous Household Pulse Survey data suggests that specific population segments are feeling this stress more acutely than others. Young adults aged 18-39, who were already struggling to hit financial benchmarks like student debt pay-off and homeownership, are more concerned than older generations about inflation. Cisgender females are more stressed about inflation than their cisgender male counterparts, and people who identify as Hispanic or Latino are more stressed out about inflation than those who identify as Asian, Black, or white.

The following list illustrates how Americans are getting by—such as borrowing from friends, utilizing their SNAP benefits, tapping savings, or utilizing credit cards and loans—and the stress levels of those relying on those methods.

SNAP benefits

-An estimated 7% of Americans are using SNAP for basic food spending

-Of this group, 91%

are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which serves more than 41 million Americans, is a federal program that provides low- or no-income households with a monthly grocery stipend. Program participants receive Electronic Balance Transfer cards, similar to debit cards, which they can use at participating retailers.

As the name suggests, this benefit intends to boost shoppers' purchasing capacity to afford nutritious program-approved foods like fruits, vegetables, and proteins, rather than covering grocery expenses entirely. For eligible people, the monthly stipends depend on household size, income, and assets and are adjusted annually for inflation. In response to recordhigh hikes in food prices over the last year, SNAP benefits were raised, and eligibility was expanded on Oct. 1, 2022.

Normal household income

-An estimated 65% of Americans are using normal household income for basic spending

-Of this group, an estimated 72% are "moderately stressed" or "very stressed" by increased prices

So far, most Americans have stayed financially afloat simply by using their regular household income without needing to access federal assistance programs or going into debt. But this doesn't mean people are thriving.

A September survey by LendingClub found 45% of people earning $100,000 a year or more report living paycheck to paycheck as inflation negates wage growth, up from 38% a year ago. Similarly, around 62% of survey respondents earning $50,000-$100,000 per year reported living paycheck-to-paycheck—up from 57% last year.

Credit cards and loans

-An estimated 32% of Americans are using credit cards and loans for basic spending

-Of this group, 86% are "moderately" or "very

stressed" by increased prices

For Americans relying on credit to make ends meet, record-high interest rates compound the complexity of their financial woes. Bankrate data showed the average credit card interest rate to be 19.04% as of Nov. 9, 2022—the highest rate since 1991.

The Federal Reserve plans to continue raising interest rates to control inflation. Many Americans paid down their credit card debt during the pandemic by using stimulus payments and spending less. But inflation appears to be reversing this progress. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, credit card balances saw their largest yearly percentage increase in over 20 years in quarter one of 2022. Additionally, credit limits saw their most significant increase in a decade, indicating that utilization frequency is up.

Saving accounts

-An estimated 28% of

Americans are tapping their savings for basic spending

-Of this group, 87% are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

While many Americans were able to grow their savings during the pandemic in the absence of travel and leisure activities and regular daily expenditures, that growth is idling and, for some, reversing. People are saving less and dipping into their existing savings more, particularly over the last several months, according to the Ipsos-Forbes Advisor U.S. Consumer Confidence Tracker.

The median savings for people under 35, excluding retirement savings, is $3,240; for those 55-64, it is $6,400. But most Americans have savings lower than this, and many have none at all. A Bankrate survey conducted in January 2022 found that 56% of Americans could not cover a $1,000 surprise expense using their savings.

Unemployment checks -0.9% are using unemployment insurance benefits for basic spending

-Of this group, 89% are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

There are just over 6 million unemployed Americans, but only some receive unemployment benefits. Applying for unemployment can be challenging and time-consuming, and only some are eligible. As a result, many people never take the time to apply.

Unemployment benefits temporarily replace a fraction of lost wages. Most workers are capped at 26 weeks. Some states like Iowa and Arkansas stop payouts after 16 weeks.

Deferred and forgiven payments

-An estimated 3% of Americans are using money from deferred or forgiven payments for basic spending

-Of this group, 87%

are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

The pause on student loan payments during the COVID-19 pandemic provided needed relief to many people. But those payments are expected to resume in January. Some Americans eligible for President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan are beginning to receive refund checks for payments made during the pandemic forbearance period.

However, experts recommend people hold off on spending that money because of the legal challenges the plan is facing. If Biden's plan is ultimately shot down in court, the outstanding debt, including refunded payments, must be repaid.

Meal cards

-An estimated 4% of Americans are using school meal debit/EBT cards for basic food spending

-Of this group, 90% are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

For families who rely on schools to provide lunch and sometimes breakfast for their children, pandemic school closures meant a potential gap in important daily nutrition. Pandemic Electronic Balance Transfer cards provided families with supplemental funds to purchase food for children who were eligible for and would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if schools were open.

While P-EBT benefits were meant to be a temporary stopgap, they have been expanded to assist families even with school back in session. For example, if students miss school due to COVID-19, their P-EBT cards will be loaded with an amount based on the number of days they missed to account for the meals they also missed.

Borrowing from friends or family

-An estimated 1% of Americans are borrowing from friends or family for

basic spending

-Of this group, 93.88% are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

Informal borrowing is up dramatically from one year ago, particularly among Black and Hispanic populations. Generationally, millennials are the most likely to seek financial assistance from family and friends.

To avoid the awkwardness of borrowing from loved ones, some people have turned to predatory payday loans—which can come with interest rates over 500%—as a quick way to make ends meet. Experts urge people to resist the temptation of a temporary solution as it is only likely to bury one deeper in debt.

WIC benefits

-An estimated 2% of Americans are using WIC for basic food spending

-Of this group, 89% are "moderately" or "very stressed" by increased prices

Like SNAP, WIC provides nutritional assistance to low- or no-income families. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children provides food packages for low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children under the age of 5 who are at risk of nutritional deficiencies, as determined by a professional assessment. These are the stages of child development and parental health where data says good nutrition is vital.

Participants receive personalized groceries based on their specific health needs delivered to their door or a voucher to purchase food themselves. The Department of Agriculture estimates over 6 million people participated in the WIC program in 2021, including more than 40% of all infants in the U.S.

This story originally appeared on Foothold Technology and was produced and distributed in partnership with Stacker Studio.

In my opinion, the ten most hate-filled words in the gospels are in Matthew 27:25: “Let his blood be on us and on our children.”

For more than two millennia, those words of violence became the formula for the implacable Christian hatred of Jews, which culminated in the murder of six million of them during the Holo -

caust.

Contrary to the terrifying message in Matthew 27;25, this is what Jesus said in John 10:17-18: “The reason my father loves me is that I lay down my life… No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own.”

And in John 4:22, Jesus says, “Salvation comes from the Jews.” Imagine! If Christians had listened to their Savior instead of emulating the mob, no Jews would have ever tasted the poison of Christian hatred.

If I had a wish that could come true, it’d be that all Christian priests and ministers ascend to their pulpits and read two biblical passages (John 10:17-18 and John 4:22) to their congregations, until they prevail over Matthew 27:25.

Let’s pause to reflect: Wouldn’t we all be closer to peace on Earth if Christians had never branded the children of Abraham as “Christ killers?”
