My Omaha Obsession takes the reader on an idiosyncratic tour through some of Omaha’s neighborhoods, buildings, architecture, and people—celebrating the city’s unusual and overlooked history
Using micro-data from household expenditure surveys, we document the evolution of consumption poverty in the United States over the last four decades. Employing a price index that appears appropriate for low income households, we show that poverty has not declined materially since the 1980s and even increased for the young. We then analyze which social and economic factors help explain the extent of poverty in the U.S. using probit, tobit, and machine learning techniques. Our results are threefold. First, we identify the poor as more likely to be minorities, without a college education, never married, and living in the Midwest. Second, the importance of some factors, such as race and ethnicity, for determining poverty has declined over the last decades but they remain significant. Third, we find that social and economic factors can only partially capture the likelihood of being poor, pointing to the possibility that random factors (“bad luck”) could play a significant role.

With an usual combination of raw power and simple poetry, her works demand engagement with materials, ideas, environments, and ourselves." (extrait de la 2e de couv.).
Ever since she was a child, there was something special about her. Something she just could not put her finger on. Having lived in the city of brotherly love Philadelphia, and then having to move to a small, rural town wasnt what MISS E was looking forward to. From having to deal with being the oldest child to being a single-parent wasnt what MISS E expected her life to be. Being led by the Holy Spirit is something many of us are afraid of or dont know how to do or just dont want to do. Journeying with MISS E is an interesting yet fruitful and prosperous adventure. Even though she has faced many trials, MISS E has learned to lean and depend totally on Jesus. Join her and see why God Says, Its Okay.
