Homelessness can carry a stigma. But data shows there are many factors that contribute to the crisis.As many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It says most of those people live on the streets or in a shelter.That’s just one definition. It doesn’t count the 7.5 million Americans who live with others because of high housing costs.The newest data shows the homeless population is mostly male, white and middle-aged. But the crisis goes far beyond that. More Americans are homeless today compared to before the Great Recession.The list of contributing factors is growing. One of the big ones is affordable housing.More than one-quarter of renters pay their landlords at least half their monthly income, 780

If inventor Reuben Brewer’s prototype goes mainstream, we may all be pulled over by robotic police officers one day.Brewer’s invention called the GoBetween is essentially a robotic arm attached to the front driver’s side of his vehicle—acting as a police cruiser—and would extend forward toward the driver side window of a car that an officer has pulled over. On the other end of the arm is a module complete with audio and visual chat screen so the officer and driver can communicate. “It’s essentially FaceTime on a stick,” Brewer jokes. The device scans for a driver’s license and registration. It can even print out the ticket.“The overarching idea is a robot that goes between the police car and a motorist’s car, so the officer doesn’t physically have to go up to the motorist’s window,” Brewer says.Brewer says he’d seen too many headlines about police stops turning deadly, most notably the death of Minnesota driver Philando Castile in 2016.“For years. it had been story after story on the news about people being shot by police during traffic stops and vice versa,” Brewer says, describing the impetus for the invention. “If you can keep the person out of harm’s way and send a robot, that would be a win.”The robot, of course, wouldn’t be making arrests, but simple traffic violations could be issued, including a printed physical ticket. That would all happen from the module positioned next to the driver’s window.Critics have said this does nothing to solve the fraught relationship between the public and the police, and that this device, if picked up by police departments, would merely be a Band-Aid solution. Brewer wouldn’t disagree.“Every year that you don’t put a Band-Aid on, you’ve got 100 people dead and you’ve got 200,000 people that had physical force or assault used on them,” Brewer says in response. “So, I vote for the Band-Aid now, while other people figure out the solution.”But there is one feature on the GoBetween that’s gotten more chuckles than anything else: the police-style helmet attached to the top of the video chat monitor.“It looks awesome,” Brewer says, laughing. “That’s the only purpose.”Right now, the GoBetween is just a proof-of-concept device, and Brewer is currently working on a second prototype. He hopes that police departments might start picking it up within the next two years. 2349

GARLAND, Texas — You might typically associate the days after Christmas as a time when people start returning things in mass quantities. But remember all those Black Friday sales? A lot of those sale items actually get returned right now. The items consumers take back to stores — or even send back after ordering online — make up an entire business of their own.

The center of the storm will move across the Canadian province on Saturday night, according to the forecast.A hurricane warning was in effect for eastern Nova Scotia. The storm was moving at northeast at 24 mph with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.Residents of the United States were cleaning up after the storm made landfall in North Carolina and brushed other East Coast states on Friday.Flooding on NC barrier islandsFloodwaters from Dorian on North Carolina's Ocracoke Island receded Friday afternoon, easing concerns for people who were stuck much of the day in their homes.Feet-high floodwaters had covered yards outside homes on Ocracoke early Friday, social media images show. Jason Wells snapped photographs from his home's upper level of the virtual lake in his yard and said the flooding "is by far the worst I have ever seen or heard about" in his 40-plus years there."There are people that have had knee to waist-deep water in their houses," he told CNN Friday morning."Several people were rescued from their upper floors or attics by boat, or from Good Samaritans," Wells said.Much of the water receded by Friday afternoon and about 2 feet of water remained on the island as of 4 p.m.Jenni Starr, who lives on Ocracoke, posted a photo to Instagram of her yard and told CNN before the water went down her house had a foot of water in it.Sheriff's deputies, medics and emergency management workers were sent to the island to help people from their homes, the 1754
