Story
Sous-vide is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times at an accurately regulated temperature. The temperature is much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60°C (131 to 140°F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture.

Machine learning from a business perspective

Summary
This book is the second part of three parts on the development of the American social welfare state from 1933 to 2016. This volume is focused on the action (or inaction) toward a comprehensive social welfare state during the American presidential administrations of Richard Nixon to Barack Obama (until January 2016). This volume is concentrated mainly on American economic philosophy, in particular the common misperceptions around the term neoliberalism. We will examine these beliefs and what effect they have had on any development of the American social welfare state.

This book is well-documented presentation that is written in a humorous, albeit thought-provoking style.
Combining direct and indirect taxes, as well as taxes from state and local government, the average American family paid $15,748 in taxes in 2018.
This will give you clear and better understanding about Human Progress and American History way back the old times from Nixon to Obama.

Brutally honest. Worth it
This is the second part of a study examining the development of the American social welfare state since the Progressive Era, primarily focusing on the social policies of the American presidential administrations from Franklin Roosevelt to Barack Obama. (Of course, if you have read Part I of this study, you have seen that the social policies of any nation are determined by a complicated mix of social, economic, and political factors, and in no way are only determined by individuals who occupy elected positions in the American political system. But in the American political system, the President is the executive, who is responsible for setting the national vision for America, so that is the position that is really managing the various social and economic forces that result or do not result in any concrete social legislation, so any analysis of national social welfare policies must be focused there). This part will focus on the presidential administrations from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. For the general introduction to the scope of this entire multi-part study, refer to the Introduction in Part one.

Hunting good will....
Welfare capitalism, one of the possible solutions to worker's rights and economic development, is a leading idea. Welfare capitalism is usually seen as the opposite of the welfare state. The welfare state involves heavy government regulation and labor unions providing social welfare policies. Aside from adults, social welfare can also brighten the future for poverty-stricken kids, ultimately halting the cycle of poverty in families at risk. Poverty can be traumatic for children, and welfare helps the next generation become less reliant on government support. Although the Progressive Era brought reform to government and business and increased political power for many citizens, its benefits were limited to white Americans; African Americans and other minorities continued to experience discrimination and marginalization during this era.

American history that few of us know
This audiobook takes you beyond your traditional methods of historical study and hermeneutics. I will not spoil the content for you, but be ready to walk away with a whole new tool and perspective. Aside from the brief moments of over-romanticism, this book offers a unique exploration with great detail and lots of evidence. The following is a non-exhaustive list of public benefits that USCIS does not consider in the public charge inadmissibility determination as they are considered earned benefits: Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Social Security benefits (SSDI); Social Security; Federal and state disability insurance. Some popular types of welfare in America include Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Child's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Medicaid is a health insurance program geared towards people with low income and the elderly.

Which states receive the most welfare?
I like the history Thomas F. Winterbottom provides. He talks about different eras in our history with some interesting sources to back him up. For a 4 hrs and 14 mins audiobook, this is so worth it!
Here are the 10 states with the most welfare recipients: New Mexico (21,459 per 100k)
The ten states that have the highest number of SNAP recipients are:
California (3,636,314)
Texas (3,291,843)
Florida (2,779,400)
New York (2,642,450)
Illinois (1,780,778)
Pennsylvania (1,741,489)
Ohio (1,378,556)
Georgia (1,348,973)
This one gave me an abundance of understanding in the development of the American Social Welfare State from Nixon to Obama. The narrator William Bahl did a great job.

History is important
Although President Franklin D. Roosevelt focused mainly on creating jobs for the masses of unemployed workers, he also backed the idea of federal aid for poor children and other dependent persons. By 1935, a national welfare system had been established for the first time in American history. Here the separation between economic and social policy must be noted: Keynesian economics, if it had worked as promised, would stimulate demand in the American economy, and ultimately create jobs, but there was no policy provision that these created jobs be viable or economically prosperous. That would be a move from economic policy into a social policy to affect economic outcomes that moves beyond the individualistic philosophy of economic opportunity into the realm of a social and economic guarantee, and that has never happened in any major way in the lives of working-age Americans, although it has been done with the Social Security program. I went into this argument extensively in Part I.
