From my experiences, it does have a higher chance of better outcome, as homeless youth are usually homeless because of some family issue and not because they are unable to hold down a job as a result of drug abuse or being homeless.
Yup. And the longer they’re homeless the higher the likelihood that they do develop health or drug problems and shift from being relatively easy to relatively difficult to get back on their feet.
Plus, homeless youth can include kids as young as 14 or 15, who are especially vulnerable to predators on the street.
Your comparing statistics for homeless adults to homeless youth.
From my experience being a homeless youth 20 years ago, LGBTQ individuals make up a large share of homeless youth, I would guess more than 50% at the time.
There may be less gay or lesbian homeless youth these days, but transgender youth may have grown.
> There can be two Skycams in major playoff games or the Super Bowl (high and low).
There can be more depending on how you block out the cables, I have seen 5. The two Skycam limit is based on two independent systems that do not do cable avoidance in software, you just block out the allowed altitudes on each system.
There also other cable suspended systems in use to move on a line strung between two points and sometimes a track suspended under the stadium roof.
Fun fact: The Skycam was invented by Steadicam inventor Garret Brown and uses some of the same principals for stabilization.
Interesting, I've never seen more than two 4-wire Skycams used in an NFL broadcast (at least that I knew of). Given the need for flexible endzone to endzone coverage of NFL games, I'd imagine sectioned arrangements might be better suited for concerts, etc. The gratuitous two Skycams tracking each other shot is always fun. Just saw another one in recent weeks as they were discussing the retirement of a long-time Skycam operator.
I was going to mention the linear point-to-point 'Sidecams' but I haven't seen them used much the last season and was wondering if they've fallen out of favor. I'd guessed they might get in the sight lines of the primary cameras in many stadiums.
I actually got to briefly meet Garret at a long-ago NAB show. As not only the inventor but the operator on so many incredible film shots, the dude's a legend. IIRC correctly he did the Rocky on the steps and The Shining maze shots himself.
Airlines don't negotiate prices based on the exact options selected, they select a list of options and then negotiate on price from there. This particular option does not appear to have a price associated with it, it just increases the cost of training and documentation for pilots and some airlines would opt out of using it.
People talking about MCAS seem to simultaneously pound the line that everything on the aircraft the pilots encounter should be trained for and forget that adding new stuff to the flight displays will incur additional training that an airline may not want to deal with.
FedEx did and they retired them in the last 5 years because they had reached the end of their economical service lifetime and not because of any major flaw.
These stations and networks still have about 80% of their previous funding, so nothing is really going to get shut down right away.
Also, in many cases the TV and radio spectrums in markets these stations are in are not saturated to the point where new licensees are prevented from operating just because of saturation.
So this is really just some group asking for public broadcasting to be punished even more.
