    I briefly report on the work conducted to probe the gravitational potential of active and non-active disk galaxies using two-dimensional gas and stellar kinematics, first emphasizing the need to make a distinction between ''fuelling the nucleus'' and ''building a gas reservoir''.Comment: 4 pages. to appear in "The Interplay among Black Holes, Stars and ISM in Galactic Nuclei" Proc.

    Extragalactic science at very high spectral resolution

    Full text link
    I briefly mention a few possible applications of very high spectral resolution spectroscopy with CRIRES to the study of nearby galaxies. This includes the fields of AGN, dynamically cold systems, super stellar and emission line clusters, and a more speculative program on the measurement of gravitational redshifts.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, to be published in "High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy in Astronomy", an ESO Workshop, Eds.

    This guide assembles the best practices adopted across the states and at the federal level to target the special needs of those workers reaching the end of their unemployment benefits. It features a step-by-step approach, which includes the following priority actions:Step 1: Aggressively Pursue and Promote Job CreationStep 2: Target Outreach to Workers Exhausting Unemployment BenefitsStep 3: Track Workers Exhausting UI BenefitsStep 4: Maximize Coordination across State and Local AgenciesStep 5: Maximize Access to Income Support and Basic Needs ProgramsStep 6: Minimize Barriers to Re-employmen
