This study investigated the human health risks of trichloroethylene from Industrial Complex A. The excessive carcinogenic risks for central tendency exposure were 1.40 × 10-5 for male and female residents in the vicinity of Industrial Complex A. The excessive cancers risk for reasonable maximum exposure were 2.88 × 10-5 and 1.97 × 10-5 for males and females, respectively. These values indicate that there are potential cancer risks for exposure to these concentrations. The hazard index for central tendency exposure to trichloroethylene was 1.71 for male and female residents. The hazard indexes for reasonable maximum exposure were 3.27 and 2.41 for males and females, respectively. These values were over one, which is equivalent to the thresholdvalue. This result showed that adverse cancer and non-cancer health effects may occur and that some risk management of trichloroethylene from Industrial Complex A was needed.

Durable and reliable, this muslin apron would have been seen in any town in America during the late 19th Century. With their large, billowing skirts, ladies needed aprons to protect their skirts from the soot in the fireplace, the flour from bread baking and the dirt from the water pump.
Our apron is made of unbleached muslin and is 32 iches long. Apron skirt measures 42 inches wide at the bottom and features a 1.5 inch waistband with 2-24 inch ties for a secure fit. Imported. One size fits most.
The apron is the perfect length for my costume. It lays perfectly and is crisp. The perfect touch when I'm reenacting! I would highly recommended it for anyone who needs a long apron.
Fit well and looked good!
It Shrank horribly when I washed it.
I never write reviews, but want to say how great I think your company is. Everything I have ordered has exceeded my expectations. It's just like getting a package in the mail of something my grandmother made. You are to be commended for your attention to authenticity and quality.
This apron was exactly what my daughter needed for her costume in her high school version of Les Miserable. It was the perfect length and well made. It certainly saved me time and money and since I am not a great sewer it was perfect. It did not cost all that much and arrived relatively quickly.
We purchased some items for our upcoming wedding, and we had forgotten to add a shirt to the order. We emailed customer support to add the shirt to our current order, which they did very quickly, and got everything shipped out very fast. Everything was exactly what we were hoping for in fit and style! Great shopping overall!
I called in and ordered my vest and puff tie by phone . My order was processed and shipped short notice in a quick and timely manner.

Lothian and Borders GeoConservation have launched their latest leaflet, Around Castle Rock, written by Andrew McMillan and available in printed format and as a free download from this website. Edinburgh Castle Rock developed as part of a volcano hundreds of millions of years before human occupation. Today it provides a spectacular backdrop to the centre of the City of Edinburgh. This booklet describes the geological processes which created the landscape of the city centre and a selection of stone-constructed buildings and monuments which form part of the city's built heritage.
A new article in the Scottish Journal of Geology (the academic journal published jointly by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Geological Societies) describes important new dinosaur tracksite at Rubha nam Brathairean (Brothers' Point) on the Isle of Skye. Most of the prints were made by long-necked sauropods – which stood up to 2m (6.5ft) tall – and by theropods. Researchers measured, photographed and analysed about 50 footprints in a tidal area at Rubha nam Brathairean on the Trotternish peninsula. Analysis of the clearest prints enabled scientists to ascribe them to sauropods and theropods.

So what do you do when you've dug yourself a rut so deep you can't get out of it? What do you do when you've outgrown your life, but your life has not outgrown you? In case you're wondering, it feels deeply uncomfortable, like you're a size 14 squeezed into size 10 pants.
What if every drop of carefully tended patience, kindness and presence has been squeezed out of you until all that remains is a taut drum filled with anger, frustration and self-loathing?
Well, there are lots of options of course, including drinking myself into a stupor, going on a massive shopping or gambling spree or having an affair. All those options sound crap to me, and guaranteed to make my life worse, not better.
Listen to Nirvana Unplugged and write a poem so angry and depressing that the Bear loved it and wanted to write a grunge guitar riff around it. Do you want to read it? Oh, all right then.
No, no, hold the applause.
2. Get totally disgusted with my melancholy and dull lethargy and take myself off to my yoga room to meditate. Or something. Start feeling better and contemplate moving into my meditation room permanently.
3. Realise that this is sadly implausible and wonder if it is possible to create a miniature meditation room/temple inside myself that I can retreat to when my mind becomes an unpleasant place to be.
4. Think this is possibly the best idea I have had all week (God knows it has had precious little competition) and spend a little time designing one. This is kind of fun (!). What would yours look like?
5. It becomes even more fun when I realise that there is already one there. It is a jade pyramid with elephants engraved on the walls and a sunken floor filled with luscious carpets and soft cushions. It is so soft and comfortable looking I walk to it and lay down. There is beautiful music and fragrant incense fills the air. I stay here for a long, long time.
6. I start thinking about my favourite massage therapist, and how long it has been since I had a massage from her. I decide that on Friday, instead of dedicating that day to study and work like I normally do, I am going to get a haircut and a massage. Bliss! It will be a day solely devoted to making myself happy.
7. I momentarily worry that this is selfish and lazy – and then realise that my deeply unhappy self isn't making anyone around me happy at the moment, so this day of making myself happy is actually a selfless, productive activity that will benefit others.
8. My spirits have now lifted considerably, and the little flame is burning brighter in my heart. Have I got time to do some yoga before dinner I wonder? Yep. Forward bends, back bends, standing poses, inversion and floor stretches. I feel like one of those sand patterns in a frame that has been up-ended to make a new landscape.
9. I Look and feel so different when I walk back to the house that the Bear looks twice at me to see if it is indeed the same woman that grumped past him 2 hours ago. It is. Turn on my music and let the itunes Angel (do you know her? She's awesome) find some ridiculously appropriate music to listen to, really loudly, while I'm making dinner. Otis Redding, Daisy May, Groove Armada, Angus and Julia Stone, Edward Sharpe – who wouldn't be in a good mood after that?
both asking to know and be known.
What do you do to pull yourself out of a funk?
Thanks for posting this. We all need to think about ways to 'feel better'. I started off today in a mood, which doesn't help anyone. Your blog reminded me to feel good about whatever.
Glad you figured out a way to make yourself feel better! Sometimes it takes a lot of looking in to figure out what it is we need to get our groove back on.
It sure does Lillian! It is good to know that everyone has complete power over their groove though.

Bridging the Digital Skills Gap: Alternative Pathways
Public Policy Forum Diversity Institute
Project: Skills Next
skills next
Digital skills and digital careers are part of every industry's future. Yet employers say they can't find workers with the information and communication technology (ICT) skills they need. In this report, Shortt, Robson, and Sabat explain how Canada doesn't really have system for figuring out where digital technology jobs end and regular jobs begin – and explore how a shared definitions of digital skills and careers will be the gateway for policymakers and employers to fill any digital skills gaps.
It's clear the digital skills gap is real, in the sense that there's a lack of candidates with the skills required by particular employers. That said, there's little common understand of the actual skills or knowledge that contribute to the skills gap and what's needed to improve it. To develop good policy to address this problem, there's a need to develop clarity and consistency in defining jobs and skills as well as innovation in skill development programming and changes to how employers hire, including considering women and skilled immigrants more often than they do now.
Canada's language to describe occupations in the labour market leaves out or mixes up many digital skills, competencies, tools and jobs. This could be stifling Canada's economic growth and innovation. Without an agreed-upon definition of digital skills, it's hard to hire the right people.
The under-employment of skilled immigrants (not to mention under-representation of women and other groups) in the ICT industry suggests that recruitment and retention policies and practices of the very firms complaining about this gap may be contributing to the problem.
Digital skills are increasingly in demand across many industries. Recent industry reports argue that a shortage of people in the workforce skilled in information and communications technology (ICT) is inhibiting the growth of innovative companies around the world. Some argue that in Canada, this global challenge is exacerbated by Canadian firms' historically tendency to adopt new technologies at a slower than average speed—a hesitancy which many argue is itself the result of previous shortages of skilled technology workers.
While the origins and extent of the"digital skills gap" may be the source of some disagreement, this paper argues that the existence of this gap is real, provided a gap is understood as alack of candidates with the skills required by particular employers. Critically, however, its causes may be more complex than are commonly understood. For example, the under-employment of skilled immigrants and under-representation of women and other groups in the ICT industry suggests that recruitment and retention policies and practices of the very firms complaining about this gap may be contributing to the problem.
While there are multiple pathways to "digital careers", accessing them requires innovation in skills development and in approaches to defining these roles.Yet a review of the most relevant digital skills frameworks shows that there is little common understanding of the actual skills or knowledge that contribute to the skills gap; little common understanding of the dimensions of learning and training needed to improve it; muddled distinctions between areas of knowledge, competencies, skills,and tools needed for 21st-century learning or work; and very little identification of skill levels.
In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system provides standardized language to describe occupations in the Canadian labour market. But in this classification system, as in others, there is often confusion between a job, the skills and competencies needed to perform the job,and the specific tools and techniques needed for the job.Moreover, the NOC's usefulness is also somewhat limited in the context of digital skills, as it has not kept pace with the emergence of technology-based occupations, such as cloud engineer, nor has it developed a clear way of including hybrid roles.

Paris attacks: Islamic State militants change tactics
By Frank Gardner BBC security correspondent
Image caption Security has been stepped up across France in the wake of the attacks
Friday's Paris assaults mark a new and frightening watershed in the steady expansion of attacks attributed to or claimed by the so-called Islamic State.
For most of last year and much of this, IS's focus has been on taking and holding territory in the Middle East. For its leaders in Raqqa and Mosul, that is still the priority.
But the militants are well aware of their transnational appeal to violent jihadists in Europe and elsewhere.
As they reel under the daily onslaught of US-led coalition airstrikes, haemorrhaging one leader after another, they are increasingly looking to direct or inspire attacks further afield.
Image caption Across France and beyond, tributes are being paid the victims of the attacks
Careful planning
In June, IS claimed a gun attack at a Tunisian beach resort in Sousse that killed 38 tourists, 30 of them British.
In October Turkey blamed a suicide attack killing 102 people in Ankara on IS. Later that month, IS's Sinai affiliate claimed to have brought down a Russian airliner, killing all 224 people on board.
On 12 November, IS claimed the bomb attack on the Hezbollah stronghold in south Beirut that left 44 people dead. And then came Paris, with at least 120 dead and over 300 injured.
Paris attacks: What we know
Fear stalks Paris
These are not isolated, lone wolf, spur-of-the-moment attacks.
Although not necessarily difficult to execute, these attacks still took planning, preparation, training, sourcing of weapons and explosives, reconnaissance of the target and the careful recruitment of so-called "martyrs" - fanatical young men prepared to carry them out in the full knowledge they will probably die doing so.
This is far more reminiscent of al-Qaeda's modus operandi in the early 2000s, going for big publicity, high-casualty attacks that make headlines around the world.
Western counter-terrorism officials had recently come round to the conclusion that while there were still people aspiring to such grand-scale attacks, the prevailing threat was more likely to come from "self-starters", people like the murderers of British soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich near London in 2013.
In the light of what has happened in Paris and elsewhere, they may now be revising that assessment.
How will Paris cope?
A new type of terrorism?
Closing the window
There is also another factor here. The 1000-mile (1,600km) Turkey-Syria border used to present little obstacle to the thousands of would-be jihadists coming from Europe to swell the ranks of IS.
While the border is still porous in places, much of it on the Syrian side is now controlled by the YPG, a Kurdish militia opposed to IS.
So the "window" through which new recruits can cross has narrowed considerably. Iraq is not a realistic transit route for European jihadists to reach Syria, Jordan's border is closed and in Lebanon there is a high risk of being caught by security forces.
The net result is that IS's online recruiters have recently been encouraging their followers to stay in their own countries and plan attacks there, rather than attempt the risky journey to Syria.
In the short term at least, this will translate into a heightened chance of terrorist attacks here in Europe.

Soviet Surge Part 20 | FCSB #1: Romanian Domination
Having led Rijeka to the Croatian title, Russian manager Vladimir Latunov continued his Soviet Surge across Eastern Europe by joining his seventh club in six countries. And that side was FCSB in Romania.
Who are FCSB?
Fotbal Club FCSB play at the 55,634 capacity Arena Nationala and have good youth coaching, exceptional youth recruitment, excellent training and superb youth facilities. They have a balance of £19 million, which is about £10 million less than Rijeka had, and a transfer budget of £11 million and weekly wage budget of £195,235 to work with.
Latunov's new side are the favourites to win the Romanian title. They have done so five times through this save and most recently in 2026, but finished second last season, which prompted them to sack their manager. So no pressure there then! Biggest challengers include Viitorul, who've won the last two titles, Cluj, who won the title before that, Universitatea Craiova, Dinamo Bucharest and Astra Giurgiu.
The board also has a lot of expectations, including attacking, entertaining, possession football that makes the most of set pieces. They also expect the manager to sign young players, which shouldn't be a problem, and maintain the best youth system in Romania.
Meet the FCSB squad
The best player at FCSB is midfielder Nicolae Fritea along with goalkeeper Romeo Curtean, centre-back Victor Prokhorov, and Emil Fajic, Latunov's former midfielder at Rijeka. But three players to build the squad around are strikers 17-year-old Petre Moscu, who's the best prospect at the club, 16-year-old Catalin Ancuta, and 20-year-old Andrei Dumitrescu.
Latunov bolstered the ranks with two of his Rijeka players in loanee midfielder Mateja Buser and winger Kingsley Coman, who cost just £250,000. He also strengthened in defence with Serbian centre-back Nemanja Vesic, as well as midfielder David Salaoru from Craiova and full-back Drago Horvat. However, he wasn't able to register any of these new signing for the first few games. And from his initial look at the FCSB squad, Latunov decided to start with a counter-attacking 4-3-3 DM formation.
Getting to work in Romania
The Romanian First League begins with a regular season where all 16 teams play each other twice then splits into a Champions Playoff and a Relegation Group.
The league began less than one week after Latunov's arrival. And it began with a tough challenge at rivals Astra Giurgiu. FCSB came out and started well but couldn't find a goal to show for it until right-winger Denis Rusu volleyed home from a free-kick and that was enough to edge a 1-0 opening day win.
Game two swiftly followed and FCSB made a great start through left-winger Raoul Mal before Rusu scored again just before half-time to seal a 2-0 win. A local derby saw a trip to Dinamo Bucharest, who took an early lead but FCSB levelled through Moscu's first of the season. Another rival clash followed at home to FC Rapid, who scored an early penalty then Fritea got sent off after 24 minutes. But FCSB equalised with their own penalty just before half-time, bossed the game and deservedly nicked it with Faijc's long-range strike.
The new signings were eventually allowed to be registered for Latunov's seventh game at the club, which was a trip to Sepsi. But another game of wasted chances saw Latunov's first defeat in a 2-1 loss. That prompted the manager to amend his tactic to a more possession-based approach, which worked as they raced into a 2-0 lead at Turris Turne Magurele with goals from left-winger Grigol Kvaskhvadze and a Fajic beauty. Rusu added another after the break to seal a 3-0 win with a massive 3.7 xG.
A random two-week break teed up a big home clash with Viitorul. Fritea returned from suspension and injury to smash home a superb volley that was the only goal of a tight game. Another 20-day break, this time for internationals, led into another big home game against Cluj, where one goal was once again enough thanks to Coman's first for the club.
That convinced Latunov to promote the Frenchman to the starting lineup, and he was rewarded as Coman scored after 14 minutes against Csikszereda. Moscu doubled the lead on his 18th birthday and FCSB eased to a 2-0 win. Another 2-0 win at Farul Constanta, with the same two scorers, opened up a seven-point lead at the top. Moscu had been showing solid progression, which showed has he scored all five goals against Metan Medias, the last of which was courtesy of an outrageous rabona assist by Mal.
That gave the side confidence heading into a top of the table clash with Universitatea Craiova, against whom one goal from Kvaskhvadze was enough for all three points. On the same day, second and third-placed Viitorul and Dinamo drew, which extended FCSB's lead to seven points at the half-way mark of the season and heading into a winter break.
January transfer window
Several Chinese clubs showed interest in FCSB players in January. This saw FCSB receive a club and Romanian record fee of £7.5 million for Raoul Mal, who was struggling to get into the team, from Beijing and Rusu go to HB China Fortune for £5 million. More frustatingly, Beijing also met the £4.2 million release fee of Fritea, which left a gap in midfield. While Milan made a bid for the in-form Moscu, which Latunov was able to reject.
Latunov plugged that gap with a bit of a gamble on exciting 21-year-old midfielder Talis for £5 million from Ukrainian side Volyn and added experience by loaning in former Man United midfielder Andreas Pereira, now 34.
Back to the league
Strangely, the league resumed before the transfer window opened with a trip to UTA Arad. But FCSB got off to a flyer with Coman curling in a free-kick from 30 yards, then Moscu and Kvaskhvadze both scored before half-time before youngster Alexandru Postaliu scored his first FCSB goal late on to cap a 4-0 win. Viitorul drew at Arges, which stretched the lead to nine points.
Coman scored another free-kick in a 3-0 win over Astra Giurgiu, then two more rival clashes ended with a 0-0 against Dinamo and 1-0 win at Rapid. A sloppy 3-2 win at home to Arges was followed by welcoming Sepsi, the only team to have beaten FCSB this season. Young winger Silviu Pitu won and converted an early penalty, Prokhorov's first of the season ensured and an own goal by their keeper ensured a 3-1 revenge win to tie a club record 16 games without defeat. Another Viitorul draw stretched the lead to 11 points with nine games remaining. Moscu got the only goal at Academica Clinceni to break FCSB's record of games without defeat.
That took them into a big top of the table clash at Viitorul but a terrible performance saw a 3-2 defeat despite a Moscu brace. They bounced back in style with consecutive 4-0 thrashings of bottom side Magurele led by a Kvaskhvadze hat-trick then at CFR Cluj, who were way down in 10th, thanks to a Moscu hat-trick. The striker moved on to 20 goals for the season with a brace in a 2-1 win at Petrolul Ploiesti, on the same day Viitorul lost for the first time in 17 games to send FCSB 16 points clear with two games of the regular season remaining.
The season ended with two more wins, including a 1-0 win at Craiova. And that ensured FCSB finished top on 76 points, scoring 60 and conceding just15.
Champions Playoff
Each team goes into the Playoff phase with 50% of their total points total, which meant FCSB went into the 10-game period on 38 points, nine clear of Viitorul.
It began at home to Metan Medias, who impressively finished third after coming 13th last season. FCSB routed them again though, this time winning 4-0 inspired by a Kvaskhadze brace. They went behind at Petrolul but fired back to win 3-1 thanks to Kvaskhvadze again and a Moscu brace. A run of seven straight wins ended with a 1-0 loss at Craiova on the same day Viitorul lost at home to Petrolul.
And Viitorul were up next with a trip to the Arena Nationala, which turned out to be a wild match. FCSB started brightly, hitting the bar after two minutes before Kvaskhvadze scored the opener, doubled his tally then created a goal for Moscu inside half an hour. Viitrol got a goal back but Kvashvadze wrapped up his hat-trick early in the second half then got injured. His replacement Buser made it five, Viitorul scored again before Moscu doubled his tally, and the visitors somehow scored a third from just six shots. But a 6-3 win, which was a new league record for highest-scoring game, saw FCSB move 12 points clear with six games to go.
Viitorul lost again at Dinamo, who then hosted city rivals FCSB next. FCSB had the best of the game but struggled to put chances away until right-winger Miodrag Gheorghe won a penalty that substitute Pitu smashed home with his first touch. Viitorul only draw at Craiova, which handed the title to FCSB with five games remaining.
FCSB were champions of Romania for the first time in four years!
FCSB celebrated the title win with a 3-0 win at Metan Medias, which included Moscu scoring his 25th goal of the season to break the club record for most goals in a season. They finished the season with a 3-1 win at home to Petrolul, in which Coman returned from injury to score, draws against Viitorul and Craiova and a 2-0 win over Dinamo.
That ensured Latunov won the Romanian title at the first time of asking and wrapped up the sixth of his target of 13 national titles around Eastern Europe. FCSB won the title by a huge 18 points, scoring a total of 85 goals and conceding just 24 in 40 matches. Moscu finished the season as the league's top scoreer with 26 goals, Coman had the highest average rating of 7.34 and Curtean kept 23 clean sheets.
Moscu led the way with 26 goals and 10 assists, followed by Kvaskhadze with 16 goals and seven assists. Coman scored nine and got two assists in just 23 appearances and Pitu scored seven and got three assists, while Fajic topped the assists chart with 10. Moscu won fans' player and young player of the season, Talis won signing of the season and Coman won goal of the season.
In other news, Zijad Handzic, Latunov's star striker at Rijeka, moved to Liverpool for £20 million and scored 12 in 24 league games.
Back on the job hunt
With the Romanian title in the bag, Latunov resigned from FCSB and went in search of his next opportunity. The countries remaining on his list were: Belarus, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. From those, the biggest job available was Zilina, who offered an interview, but then Shakhtar Donetsk manager Luis Castro resigned after 11 years in charge.
So Latunov swiftly applied and eventually got offered an interview. Zilina offered a role so Latunov asked for a delay in hope that Shakhtar would come looking for him. And they eventually did, so Latunov signed a deal to move to his eighth club and seventh country on his Soviet Surge.
Join us next time to discover the situation facing Vladimir Latunov at Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2030.

Edge Weekly
Special Report: Why high T20 numbers may have scant meaning
Cindy Yeap
August 31, 2020 15:00 pm +08
This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on August 17, 2020 - August 23, 2020.
IN seeking equitable growth for all Malaysians, a lot of attention is understandably being paid to the bottom 40% of households (B40), which is deemed the most vulnerable income group.
The grouses of the middle-income group — deemed "too rich" to receive government aid but not feeling particularly rich in the face of the high cost of living — have also been gaining voice in recent years as more people are priced out of the housing ladder.
Many of these middle-income earners are believed to reside in the Klang Valley (Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) as well as larger cities in Malaysia such as Penang and Johor, where the cost of living is higher than in smaller towns but also have higher paying jobs.
It is interesting to note that 539,900 — or 37.1% of 1.46 million — households in Malaysia, which are deemed to be in the country's top 20% (T20), live in Selangor. That is according to our back-of-the-envelope calculations based on data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia's (DoSM) 2019 Household Income Survey (HIS2019).
More than half (53.8%) or 783,000 of Malaysia's 1.46 million T20 households are actually in the Klang Valley, if we add the 539,900 T20 households in Selangor, 228,500 in Kuala Lumpur and 14,600 in Putrajaya.
Conversely, only 13.5% or 392,900 of the 2.91 million households that are deemed to be in the B40 group reside in the Klang Valley. About a third or 963,400 of the 2.91 million M40 households in Malaysia live in the Klang Valley.
Yet, going purely by the absolute number of B40 households alone, there are actually more B40 households in Perak, Selangor and Johor than there are in Sabah and Sarawak, our extrapolation of the HIS2019 data shows. That has yet to take into account the difference in standard of living.
The HIS2019 defines T20 as households with income of at least RM10,960 a month and the B40 as those with incomes below RM4,850 a month. Barring conversion of the RM10,960 into, say, the US or Singapore dollars, a monthly income of RM10,960 is more than decent — for an individual without dependents.
It would seem that the government — the current one as well as the one it replaced in March — is using the RM100,000 in annual income threshold as a benchmark of sorts (which works out to a monthly income of RM8,333 assuming zero bonus), going by the eligibility criteria for its e-wallet free cash initiative.
As at Aug 7, a total of 7.44 million Malaysians had each received RM50 in their e-wallets — which is equivalent to a RM372 million injection into the economy under the ePenjana initiative launched at end-July (claimable until Sept 24), without counting the bonus provided by the three e-wallet providers Boost, GrabPay and Touch 'n Go. In the first quarter of the year, about 15 million Malaysians aged 18 and above stood to benefit from a similar RM30 e-Tunai Rakyat initiative, based on numbers released by the previous administration in January, which used a similar eligibility threshold of RM100,000 in annual income.
The RM10,960 income threshold for those deemed to be in the T20, however, does not necessarily mean that these households are rich or that the government automatically thinks they are rich. The threshold just happens to be the cut-off point for the top 20% households in Malaysia when looking at the income levels of the 7.28 million Malaysian households in 2019.
Klang Valley means rich or middle income?
A five-member household, for instance, could well have higher income than a four-member household in absolute ringgit terms. But that does not necessarily mean that the five-member household is a high-income family. It could just be that more members in that five-member household are working and, thus, the collective income of more people can look high relative to a similar-sized household with a single breadwinner when all of them are paid average wages.
That, in essence, was the example given by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed in Malay in Parliament last Tuesday in reply to a question on the availability of granular data for policymaking to eradicate poverty.
In Malaysia, the average household size is 3.9 members while the average number of income recipients is 1.8 — the latter points to the average household having two persons earning an income. One simplistic conclusion from that would be to divide the RM10,960 threshold for T20 households and say such a household would likely have two persons earning an average of RM5,480 each.
Yet, the size of the households — or more specifically, the number of dependents that the income earner has — is essential in determining whether government or social assistance is required. Whether or not one is rich also depends on the level of savings and disposable income, not just the level of gross income.
Household size matters
We also know from the HIS2019 data that only 559,800 or 7.7% of total households were single persons last year — up from 449,200 in 2016. It is probably among this group of individuals that the government may well be looking to gain more taxable income from.
The median income of a single-person T20 household is RM14,507 per month, below the average of RM18,772 a month. Their standard of living is likely to be much better than T20 households with at least five members whose median income of RM15,343 per month and average income of RM18,838 per month only looks high at a glance.
While there are economies of scale when resources are pooled and shared, a simple division of the T20 median monthly income of RM15,343 by the five persons in the household yields only RM3,069 per person. Dividing that figure by two (assuming two income earners) would still yield RM7,672 per person — which would qualify both persons for the ePenjana initiative, for instance.
Repeating the same for a T20 household with four members — RM14,780 median and RM18,100 average monthly income — would yield similar conclusions.
One-third of Malaysian households are those with at least five people, even though the absolute numbers have been reduced to 2.45 million in 2019 from 2.62 million in 2016. In 2019, about 21% or 1.53 million households in Malaysia were four-member households, 19.3% or 1.41 million were three-member households and 18.4% or 1.34 million were two-member households.
In short, being counted as a T20 household does not necessarily mean one is well off. In fact, granular data may even point to instances where a household consists of four or five low-income earners living together because they cannot afford to buy their own home.
Mustapa, in his reply in Parliament last Tuesday, mentioned that for policymaking decisions, the government has more granular data than what has been shared in the public domain by DoSM.
It was even heartening to hear him say that the poor need to be helped, regardless of race or where they lived. He admitted that Covid-19 had exposed shortcomings in terms of aid delivery and that there was a need to consolidate and eliminate any duplication in the various databases at the federal and state levels as well as private and public agencies helping the vulnerable in society. His reply in Parliament on the issue of poverty also touched on intra-race inequality.
While reducing inequality is a battle taken on by many governments around the world, it would be more useful to find out and communicate why there is a difference in income levels between and within the various races in Malaysia and work on solutions by targeting the root causes. Is it because of the difference in the level and quality of education and skill sets as well as the choice of profession? Or is it because of inheritance as well as differences such as the ability to access and profit from the stock market?
At a time when the country needs all of its people to focus on how they can contribute to nation-building, even as they find ways to upgrade their own standard of living and that of their loved ones, any wrongly communicated emphasis would create nothing but division that would return to roost in the long run.

Głupi Jasio – bohater bajek i baśni, postać występująca w europejskim folklorze, szczególnie w rosyjskim, gdzie znany jest jako Wania Durak (ros. Иван-дурак, zdrobniale Иванушка-дурачок).

W baśniach i bajkach Jaś zwykle pochodzi z ubogiej, włościańskiej rodziny, jest prostoduszny i niezbyt inteligentny. Ma dwóch starszych braci, którzy są od niego mądrzejsi i którzy zwykle próbują wykorzystać jego łatwowierność. W efekcie Jaś zostaje przez braci pozbawiony schedy i musi wyruszyć w świat, aby znaleźć źródło utrzymania. Dzięki uczynności, empatii i ofiarności zdobywa przyjaciół, często wśród zwierząt, którzy w kluczowym momencie pomagają mu zdobyć jakiś potężny artefakt (np. wodę życia), a także pokonać głównego przeciwnika (np. czarownicę albo czarownika). W finale opowieści dobre serce Jasia zostaje nagrodzone. Jaś bierze za żonę królewnę i sam zostaje królem. Jaś jest zwykle bohaterem pozytywnym, choć można go uznać jednocześnie za archetypowego antybohatera.

Postać Wani Duraka (Głupiego Jasia) występuje na przestrzeni wieków w rosyjskim folklorze i pojawia się w utworach nim inspirowanych, m.in. w poemacie Konik Garbusek Piotra Jerszowa. Podobni bohaterowie pojawią się także w utworach czołowych europejskich baśniopisarzy, np. Głupi Jaś (Hans Dumm) braci Grimm.

Nawiązania
 W satyryczno-erotycznym poemacie Baśń o trzech braciach i królewnie, przypisywanym Aleksandrowi Fredrze, do postaci Jasia nawiązuje Głuptas, impotent ze skłonnościami do pasywnego homoseksualizmu, który dopiero po zdobyciu magicznego "kondoma-samojeba" nabiera seksualnego wigoru.

'My passion is teaching, design, and to share. I love to share.'
Adele Masengo Ngoy, a fashion designer who founded Women United Around The World, is teaching women to become professional stitchers.
By SPONSORED CONTENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY LEE AUTO MALL
Adele Masengo Ngoy, right, works with student Selva Kawaya of Portland during sewing class last week. Ngoy, a fashion designer who is teaching as a volunteer, says "My plan is to have another program, another trainer, and have more women already in the field get involved, so that we can help and train more women."
In 2000, Adele Masengo Ngoy left the warring Democratic Republic of the Congo for the United States, bringing her three small children. She was given a choice of destinations here.
A high-end fashion designer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo before moving to Maine in 2000, Adele Marengo Ngoy operates her design business in Portland, manages the alterations department at David's Bridal, and founded Women United Around the World in 2009.

Among them was New York City, the center of the nation's fashion industry. Ngoy had studied fashion design in both high school and college and gone on to operate a high-end, highly successful design business in the Congo. Living in New York, one would think, would be a dream come true for someone looking to advance in the fashion world.
But Ngoy had her priorities – three of them – Marielle, Dorcas, and David. " I wanted to raise my kids in a small and quiet city," she said. "Portland, Maine was my choice for my kids."
As longtime friend Linda Jacobson of Scarborough said of Ngoy, "It's never about her. She always puts other people first.
"She is the most giving person, of both her time and energy, despite having had great need herself. After all, she landed here with three children, four suitcases and not a word of English."
Ngoy remembers that back then, "I didn't know any words, even to say 'hi.'
Now, English is one of five languages she speaks, and that linguistic expertise is coming in very handy: Ngoy has just begun to teach the second session of free sewing classes to a dozen women, all immigrants from various countries. Over a nine-month period, she is training them to become professional stitchers.
The initiative is purely volunteer work for Ngoy, who works full-time managing the alterations department at David's Bridal in South Portland. In the Congo, she was active "in different women's organizations." In Maine, several years ago, she realized that "now that I am in my new home (she is a U.S. citizen) I should be involved in something here."
So, seven years ago Ngoy founded Women United Around The World, whose organizational goals include to "promote independence for female immigrants to allow them to recognize and develop their potential, and pursue better educational and professional opportunities."
As WU's president, in 2010 she launched an annual gala event and fashion show to celebrate International Women's Day. The show started small but grew fast, and this year's gala at the Italian Heritage Center featured women from many countries modeling "traditional outfits inspired by their homelands," plus performances and a silent auction, and presentations of new collections by Ngoy and Janet Andoh.
The sewing classes, held twice weekly at A Gathering of Stitches in Portland's East Bayside area, have proved a hit, too. There was a waiting list for the new session, which began July 1.
"As a designer (Adele Masengo Designs) I struggle every year to find good seamstresses," Ngoy said. "But because of my background, I was able to starting teaching the necessary skills." (But) "the real goal is to help women become independent, network, and make connections in the community."
The first session was hampered by a sewing machine that kept breaking down, but now, thanks to fund-raising, the class has six industrial-quality machines to learn on.
Still, "there is a lot of need," Ngoy said, meaning human, "in a growing textile industry," as well as equipment need. "My plan is to have another program, another trainer, and have more women already in the field get involved, so that we can help and train more women."
Ngoy raised her children – one just graduated from college, one is in college, and one is entering – "to work hard, and do kindness to others," her friend Jacobson said.
"She's a special person, a great mentor and an inspiring presence."
Or, in Ngoy's own words: "My passion is teaching, design, and to share. I love to share."

Drop by San Francisco Magazine's 'Best Spirits Store in the Bay Area', The Epicurean Trader, for an opportunity to meet the Master Distiller at The Craft Spirits Guild!
Miller will be pouring samples of his latest craft spirit the Astral Pacific Gin – a California-inspired gin made from a base spirits of distilled clementines!
There will be an opportunity to meet and engage with the Master Distiller, learn more about how gin is made, and – of course – sample his delicious gin.
The Spirit Guild is a collection of artists, weirdos, and dreamers dedicated to celebrating the fruits and flavors of California through the traditional art of distillation. Their tasting room and distillery are situated in Los Angeles' Arts District on a site where once thrived the state's first commercial vineyards and orange groves, just blocks from the scenic Los Angeles River.
The Spirit Guild Manifesto dictates that every aspect of production – fermentation, distillation, blending – be done in house, by Guild members. No part of the process is outsourced.
All gins start with a base spirit. Typically, it is grain-based and industrially manufactured to be as flavorless as possible. Astral Pacific Gin's base spirit is made from clementines, and is purpose distilled to subtly retain some of the character of its source fruit. With a silky texture and a slight lingering sweetness, its proprietary distillate allows our head distiller to compose a gin with structure, a longer finish, and greater definition of component flavors. It is a gin in the classic style, while welcoming some novel flavors to the mix. Pink peppercorn (native to Southern California) and pistachio compliment quintessential gin botanicals such as juniper, coriander, cinnamon, and angelica. To achieve a warmth and balance, two varieties of juniper are used: both juniperus communis and its earthier, local cousin, juniperus californica. The nose is balsalmy, full, and juniper-forward. Spicy notes of pink peppercorn carry across the tongue, yielding to a bright citrus finish.
The Epicurean Trader was recently named 'Best Spirits Store in the Bay Area' by San Francisco Magazine; is one of the top-rated specialty food stores in San Francisco; and was also named 'Best Neighborhood Market in San Francisco'.


Even top corporate executives who are aware of engagement practices aren't always aware of the financial return they can deliver.
The Engaged Company Stock Index shows that companies with high levels of employee, customer and community engagement financially outperform many of America's biggest corporations. Yet, many companies have no engagement policies at all.
The Engaged Company Stock (ECSI) reveals that, from Oct. 1, 2012, through Dec. 31, 2014, companies with high engagement scores outperformed all of the companies comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index by more than 22 percentage points.
The 45 companies with high engagement scores represent numerous industries and include Delta Air Lines, Nike, Hershey, General Electric and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly.
Engagement is "a top-down-driven strategy or practice," says Doug Brown, President of Engaged2Perform, a consulting company in Waterloo, Canada. "If senior leadership doesn't buy in or doesn't understand engagement, the company isn't likely to have engagement polices." Even top corporate executives who are aware of engagement practices aren't always aware of the financial return they can deliver, Brown says.
Dan Pink, whose books include Drive and To Sell Is Human, says "the research is piling up to indicate that engagement can lead to better business performance." Alex Edmans points to his own research paper as proof that companies with high levels of engagement outperform the stock index and competitors.
A 2013 Gallup report, "State of the American Workplace," found that organizations with an average of 9.3 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee achieved 147% higher earnings per share than their competition in 2011-2012. The report also concluded that organizations with an average of 2.6 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee experienced 2% lower earnings per share than competitors.
Gallup estimates that actively disengaged employees cost the United States $450 billion-$550 billion annually in lost productivity. Such employees are more likely to steal from their companies, negatively influence their coworkers, miss workdays and drive customers away, Gallup researchers note.
John Tschohl has spent decades educating companies about the need to develop service-oriented cultures to build market share. He is the President of the Service Quality Institute, which aims to retain and increase customers by improving a company's workforce and establishing a culture of superior customer service.
"My research shows that a 'service leader' [organization] gets a minimum 25% increase in company value," he says, adding that most companies talk about engagement policies "but don't walk the talk." Companies with few or no engagement policies "line their own pockets and screw the customer," Tschohl says.
Brown says companies with engaged employees have higher productivity. Their employees are more loyal and committed to the companies' goals, and the companies have a better chance to attract talented, new employees. Engaged employees are often committed to a company's cost-control procedures and finding better and more efficient ways to do business.
In a recent American Management Association survey of more than 1,200 executives and managers, 52% said their employees are less loyal than five years ago. In fact, only 11% viewed their employees more loyal.
"It seems employee loyalty has declined sharply in recent years among large North American organizations," says AMA Vice President Sam Davis. The survey, which was completed Dec. 1, also revealed that declining employee loyalty is thought to harm organizations, causing low morale, disengagement, growing distrust and lack of team spirit, according to survey respondents.
Customer engagement is also imperative for a company, says Brown. He feels that businesses need to engage their clients to build strong working relationships and generate repeat sales, and that can lead to innovation and new ideas.


Heavy rainfall on steep mountain slopes causes landslides and erosion. To decrease the force of water, Inka engineers built terraces, with a sophisticated drainage system to control the flow.
Terracing was a sophisticated Inka technology, involving elaborate work below the surface.
Select and drag materials from the menu and place them in the correct order. Push the test button that appears when all 4 materials have been added. Then play the video to watch your results.
Now that you have added all the materials to the terrace, let's see if your terrace is stable.
You've engineered a stable terrace just like the Inka.
After constructing the walls, the Inka filled the interior with a layer of rocks, a layer of smaller rocks, a layer of sand, and finally a deep layer of fertile topsoil.
Explore this panoramic image by swiping right or left. Look for the Inka terraces built into the steep hillside as well as the contemporary town of Pisac in the agricultural valley below. Near the town, look for the effects of erosion on the mountainside that does not have terraces.

A Place to Go After the Applause
By Erin Spry – Del Mar Times
The career of a racehorse is as hard and fast as the competitions they sprint in. By the time a horse's age climbs to the double digits, its peak racing years are in the past. But these born-to-run athletes, with 20 or so years left to catch their breath, are far from purposeless.
Equine retirement facilities take these horses in and help determine what's next for them. Some need to be rehabilitated after an injury. Some can be used to compete in other equestrian events, like hunter/jumper or dressage. And some can look forward to retiring for good, spending their days in a grassy pasture and aging in style.
"It doesn't get any better than that," said Priscilla Clark, president of Tranquility Farm. "Walking around and nibbling grass … for horses, it's a good deal."
Tranquility Farm, based in Tehachapi, houses about 100 horses, 50 of which are permanent retirees whose only job is to settle in and be content. Clark just lost one of her longest residents, former stakes winner Fortunate Betty, at the ripe old age of 32.
With all incoming horses, said Clark, the biggest challenge is to psychologically and physically calm them down after they've spent so many keyed up years on the track.
"My job is to get them from the prancing, dancing, tense and on edge to the quiet eyes, cruising around, taking life as they find it," said Clark.
"I call it buttering them up. I get them real fat and happy."
The horses that come to these facilities are either injured or no longer make a good racer. But many of these horses are only 3 to 4 years old, and still have plenty of get-up-and-go.
These particular horses are reconditioned to provide other equine services. Each non-profit retirement facility operates through an adoption program, and there's no shortage of available horses. According to Clark, Tranquility Farm takes in about 25 new horses a year and places the same number, leaving about a quarter of her available horses waiting for adoption.
Most adopted horses go into show riding, and a few go into trail riding.
A lot of work goes into the time between when horses come in and when they're adopted. Horses have to be physically and mentally ready to go to their new owners, and a lot of them can be "hard cases," according to Clark. The whole reorientation process can take up to a year.
But when these horses are officially retired, injured or not, they won't be hitting the track again. When they're done, they're done, according to Grace Belcuore of the California Equine Foundation in Winchester.
"There's no way I would allow them to go back into racing," said Belcuore, who houses about 50 to 70 horses.
For the last decade, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has supported three equine retirement facilities as part of their Charity Days: Tranquility Farm, California Equine Foundation and the United Pegasus Foundation in Hemet. Since 1970, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has donated $6.5 million to racing-related charities.
Dan Smith, of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, considers the retirement facilities an important part of the sport. Smith, who also serves on California Equine Foundation's board of directors, said racehorses could possibly be shipped off and/or euthanized at the end of their career if not for these ranches.
"I think the industry has to have a sense of responsibility towards these racehorses," he said. "The alternative is chilling, the thought that a lot of wonderful thoroughbreds that gave enjoyment to many people suffer a terrible fate."
Although these equine retirement homes are working ranches, they are open to the public by appointment. Each one is open seven days a week, and Clark welcomes everyone to come visit these stunning former athletes.
"They can come right up and pet the horse and feed them carrots," said Clark. "It's really pretty (at the farm), grass and trees and a lot of big smiling horses."
Clark has a long history on the track, as a former horseshoer and exercise rider, and her husband is a trainer. Horses have always been a part of her life, and she considers all of the horses at Tranquility Farms members of her family. "I just think of them all as kind of like my kids."
For Belcuore, who founded California Equine Foundation in 1986, caring for these accomplished athletes is a rewarding career.
"What they give back to me is immeasurable," she said. "Their courage, their dignity, they're magnificent animals. … Hopefully I have made their lives comfortable and safe and secure until they are no longer with us."

The Philippines: Beyond Labor Migration, Toward Development and (Possibly) Return
In the Philippines, a pervasive culture of migration has led millions to seek opportunities abroad, particularly since an economic downturn in the 1970s. The government has long embraced exporting labor as official economic policy, but over time, the focus has shifted: first to protecting workers overseas and much more recently to linking migration and development. This article explores the evolution of Filipino migration policy and trends.
The history of dynamic migration flows throughout the Soviet Union pre- and post-collapse has significantly shaped the current migration reality in Russia. Even as borders have shifted and policies changed, inflows and outflows still occur mostly within the former Soviet space. As this article explores, Russia has worked in recent decades to strengthen its migration management system and update its residence and citizenship policies.
One of the most rapidly aging societies in the world, Japan is looking to immigration to address increased labor shortages—albeit slowly and largely without public debate. This country profile offers a brief overview of Japan's migration history and examines the current immigration system, in particular policies and programs to bring in foreign workers, particularly on a temporary basis.
Faced with labor shortages in key sectors of the economy, South Korea has moved carefully in recent decades toward accepting greater numbers of workers—albeit in temporary fashion. Its Employment Permit System, launched in 2003, earned international accolades for bringing order and legality to immigration in the country, although several challenges remain to be addressed as this Country Profile explores.
Climate-related displacement is not hypothetical: An average of 21.5 million people per year have been displaced since 2008 by natural disasters, and thousands more have fled slow-onset environmental hazards. While migration can serve as a safety valve to adapt to changing conditions, few orderly, legal channels exist for climate migrants (also known as environmental migrants), as this article explores.
While it has been years since the Association of Southeast Asian Nations signed accords to facilitate the movement of professionals in seven occupations, implementation of these Mutual Recognition Arrangements remains "painfully slow and uneven across countries." This final report in an MPI-Asian Development Bank series explores MRA implementation by sector, and offers recommendations to help achieve the goal of greater skill mobility in Southeast Asia.
Given diverging demographics, rising educational attainment and wide variation in economic opportunities, countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are poised to see an expansion of both the demand for and supply of skilled migrants willing and able to move. The convergence of these megatrends represents unique opportunities for human-capital development and brain circulation, as this report explores.
As Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States work to facilitate the movement of professionals, the experiences of other countries hold promise for policymakers and licensing bodies in Southeast Asia as they deepen implementation of mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) that seek to establish a uniform and transparent way of recognizing the qualifications of foreign workers. This report offers key lessons.
Having emerged from a long era of military rule, Myanmar's leaders and many citizens are looking outward. In particular, with Burmese labor migration abroad on the rise, policymakers are examining ways in which to harness remittances as a vehicle for economic development, particularly in impoverished rural areas. This article explores Burmese labor migration flows, financial reforms, and challenges on migration and development.

Email marketing is one of the most powerful tools in any B2B marketer's toolbox of marketing tips and techniques.
Compared to traditional marketing strategies like direct mail, print advertising, and attending trade shows, email marketing has been proved to cost less and drive a higher return.
Straightforward email marketing is particularly effective for immediate purchases. If you have a "house" mailing list of some size, you can email new offers to incite repeat purchases.
So when do you need to think about marketing automation? Usually, it works best with products that have long or complex buying cycles.
All of this describe a complex buying process that can't be effectively handled with simple email marketing.
Wouldn't it be great if you could provide customers with relevant information right when they need it. That's the goal of marketing automation.
Step 1: You create an offer for a free report on your website.
Step 2: You send a thank you to web visitors who download the report.
Step 3: Based on the likely industry of the people who downloaded the report, you send a link to a relevant case study.
Step 4: For customers who click on the case study link, you create an alert for a sales rep to follow up.
All of this is set up in advance. So the work required to craft a single email is now used to create a multi-stage campaign that nurtures leads over time.
Marketing team: Using marketing automation, the marketing team can produce more leads and higher quality leads in less time.
Sales team: Marketing and sales decide which leads are worth the attention of the sales team and which leads need further nurturing. This cuts down on the wasted time sales spends chasing poorly qualified leads.
Executives: Marketing automation raises the visibility of marketing campaign results, tying metrics to revenue, and helping executives decide how to best allocate their budgets.
Website Integration. Marketing automation enables you to connect Calls-to-Action (CTAs) with email campaigns. It also allows you to trigger actions based on website behavior. For example, you could email someone who visited a product page, who visited more than three pages, or who spent more than 5 minutes on your site.
Advanced Analytics. Standard email marketing analytics, such as open rates and click through rates are exciting at first, but provide a limited view of success. Marketing automation, which integrates easily with your CRM system, enables you to track respondents through the entire buying cycle to determine true ROI. In addition, many systems provide "Reverse IP" functionality, which attaches company names to your otherwise anonymous website traffic.
Landing pages. Using a built-in email editor, many marketing automation solutions also help you create website landing pages and set up A/B tests to compare landing page attributes, such as headlines, images, the length of forms, and other variables to maximize performance.

Designing Trusts for a Surviving Spouse's Remarriage
In the 90s, when the Internet was new and Bill Clinton still had more tomorrows than yesterdays, the estate tax exemption was $600,000, an amount even Thomas Piketty might think was rather low.
In that sort of environment, credit shelter trust planning for married couples felt almost mandatory.
We live in a very different world today. The Internet, no longer new, has gone social and mobile. A Clinton third term may occur.
The estate tax exemption is $5.43 million and indexed for inflation – with the result that 99.8% of estates won't be taxable.
Yet, as we've discussed recently, taxes weren't the only reason to use trusts.
One of the most significant non-tax reasons to use a trust is planning for a surviving spouse's remarriage.
What are the risks to family wealth when a surviving spouse remarries, and how can using a trust (and designing that trust thoughtfully) reduce them?
Asset Leakage to a New Spouse. We've covered these risks in depth. Simply put, Kentucky's elective share statute allows a surviving spouse to elect against their deceased spouse's will, and instead receive one-half of their deceased spouse's probate estate (except real estate, in which a surviving spouse has only a one-third elective share).
Here's why the elective share statute is a problem when a trust wasn't part of the estate plan: the surviving spouse might get remarried, without getting a prenuptial agreement.
If your spouse has inherited outright from you, and doesn't get a prenuptial agreement before remarrying, and their second spouse survives, the second spouse has strong economic incentives and the legal right to divert half of the inheritance your spouse received from you away from your descendants.
Does that sound like a good outcome to you? (I'd expect it doesn't.)
Placing a spouse's inheritance into trust solves the elective share problem, because assets remaining in the trust at your spouse's death won't be included in your remarried spouse's probate estate – the asset "bucket" that's vulnerable to the elective share statutes.
A Surviving Spouse as Gold-Digger's Target. You don't have to follow the media in any particular depth to see numerous examples of wealthy widow(er)s finding themselves remarried under circumstances that may not relate entirely (or at all) to true love.
When a substantial inheritance is held in trust, it's much easier for a surviving spouse to be more confident that a suitor is interested in him or her, and not their wealth.
It also makes it much more likely that relationships among a surviving spouse, his or her children, and their new stepparent won't be strained by fear of disinheritance.
New Half-Siblings. If a surviving spouse has or adopts additional children, the new spouse is likely to seek ways to increase inheritance for those children at the expense of their child's half-siblings.
Bluntly: if a surviving spouse's inheritance isn't held in trust, and the spouse has additional children, the deceased spouse's children are likely to eventually inherit less.
Using a trust is a first step to protect the long-term flow of wealth to descendants even if a spouse remarries, but it shouldn't be the last.
How the trust is designed can be just as (or even more) important. Trust design issues to consider carefully include:
Who Should Control the Funds? If your surviving spouse is trustee of the trust when he or she is remarried, practical risks present themselves. Will the new spouse encourage your surviving spouse to be (overly) generous in distributions? It's not unlikely.
A simple solution to this potential problem is to provide that a surviving spouse may serve as trustee of the trust for his or her benefit only when not remarried.
Should a Spouse's Inheritance Provide "First" or "Last" Dollar Spending?
Most married couples I represent want a surviving spouse to be provided for as generously as possible, and of course this instinct makes sense.
But if a spouse remarries a wealthy person (or a person who likes the finer things in life), should generous distribution standards in a trust directly or indirectly subsidize an enhanced lifestyle for the new spouse?
Will generous distribution standards allow rapid depletion of the trust, and accumulation of wealth outside the trust – wealth which might pass to the new spouse, or to new children?
To reduce these risks, a trust could provide that at any time a surviving spouse is remarried, the spouse himself or herself couldn't be trustee, and that the successor trustee should consider the availability of other assets and income available to support the spouse when making distribution decisions.
What Control Should a Spouse Have Over Ultimate Flow of Trust Assets?
Trusts often include powers of appointment allowing a beneficiary to direct the distribution of remaining trust assets when the beneficiary is no longer living.
When narrowly drafted, powers of appointment often limit the "permissible class" of appointees to the descendants of the person whose wealth funded the trust.
When drafted more broadly, powers of appointment may permit assets to be appointed not only among descendants, but to any person or entity.
(Sometimes the person holding the power is allowed to appoint to themselves, their estate, their creditors, or the creditors of their estate – a general power of appointment. Other times these potential appointees are excluded – a limited power of appointment.)
Whether general or limited, broadly written powers of appointment provide valuable flexibility – as, for instance, when a surviving spouse might choose to appoint assets to support worthwhile philanthropic objectives, without unreasonably depleting descendants' inheritance.
When a surviving spouse remarries, broadly written powers of appointment can lead to unintended consequences and discord.
A surviving spouse allowed to appoint trust assets to any person or entity certainly might direct them away from descendants in favor of a new spouse, or to additional children, or to a new spouse's children.
Although imperfect, potential ways to reduce risks relating to powers of appointment held by a spouse include limiting permissible appointees to descendants and/or charities, and providing that at any time after a spouse has remarried, the spouse may only appoint to descendants, rather than to any person or entity.
Remarriage of a surviving spouse may not be a topic spouses want to discuss in depth, but at the very least, it's one their advisors should keep in mind, and seek opportunities to plan for thoughtfully.

We have hundreds of Online Programs in our database.
Having the drive and determination to become a qualified healthcare professional is the first step in getting an Associate's degree in Nursing. There is no better start to getting into the medical field than obtaining a nursing degree. These are the most commons degrees throughout the country and provide jobs for millions of people of varying backgrounds.
Finding an accredited program to obtain a degree is an important step in ensuring that a license can be obtained after graduation. Accredited programs are available in every state and provide reliable educational programs in the field of nursing. Being the first level degree program in nursing, the associate's degree is one that will get nurses started on the right track for success.
In the past, associate's degree level nurses were the majority of registered nurses throughout the country. In recent years, most employers require that professionals have a higher degree. Associate's degrees are still readily being accepted, so choosing this degree path can only be beneficial to learners.
It is a great choice for individuals that are new to the field and possible seeking a higher degree in the future. The associate degree program welcomes applicants that are willing to work hard and assist patients in need of a caring professional. The educational curriculum for this degree includes courses in anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and biologics. These courses set the foundation for learning about the human body and how it responds to treatment.
Since the associate program lasts 2-3 years at the most, students have time to learn the basic concepts of patient care as well as techniques for treatment and pharmaceutical administration.
This program is designed for entry level nurses and gives students everything they need to get a strong start in the medical field. This program is ideal for students that seek to advance their degree in the future and provides career opportunities in varying parts of the medical field. After completion of the degree program, associate level nurses must complete a licensing exam before they can work throughout the state in which they live.
Choosing which degree program is a great fit can be difficult. For those interested in the field of nursing, the most popular degree field is at the Bachelor's level. Employers have shown an increasing preference for this level of degree, making it a wise choice for new students in the field. Accredited degree programs are available in every state.
Accreditation of a program is vital in the field of nursing, since the majority of nurses seek licensure after graduation. Programs are available both online and in-person, providing convenience to learner's with varying levels of responsibility. It is not always easy to dedicate oneself to a degree program. The field of nursing is one that is providing to its professionals and constantly in demand.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates a constant increase in job growth for this career choice for years to come, making it a wise choice for new degree seekers. Bachelor's level degrees in nursing encompass the basic aspects of nursing that have existed in associate's degree in the past. These programs have been changed to implement furter dedication to the science of nursing as well as some business aspects. These programs were designed to provide reliable nurses with thorough educations.
While in a bachelor's degree program, students will take the general prerequisite courses in anatomy and biology. In addition to these courses, students will be introduced to advanced courses in nursing procedures and techniques. Nursing is highly regarded as an innovative field. It constantly changes as new procedures and medications are being released. Nurses must be up to date on the latest in trends and education so that patients are given the best care available.
In a bachelor's program, nurses will get hands on experience in a clinical setting, ensuring that they can effectively treat patients before being released to work in the field. Similar to lower degree programs, bachelor's level graduates are also required to take a licensure exam prior to becoming a registered nurse.
Some people just get the feeling that they belong in the medical field. When that feeling comes too late, though, it can be difficult to transition once a bachelor's degree has obtained in a different field. After a bachelor's degree has been obtained in another field, there is still hope for being a part of the field of nursing.
With the need of qualified nurses on the rise, universities have created programs that allow non-nursing professionals to enroll in an education program that will arrive at a Bachelor's of Science degree in Nursing. These accelerated second degree programs can last anywhere from 1-2 years and include a curriculum dedicated to nursing.
Since bachelor's degree holders already have the basic education requirements completed, this program can jump right into the nursing specific courses. Most universities require applicants to have completed anatomy and biology prior to applying, but these requirements vary by university. Some schools may even also require applicants to be certified nursing assistants. There are accredited accelerated second degree programs available all over the country, just waiting for applicants to take advantage of their wonderful program. The clinical experience gained through a prior training programs makes applicants an able fit for the second degree program.
While in this program, students will take courses in patient care and treatment administration. These courses are designed to teach future nurses how to care for patients suffering for illness and injury. Accelerated second degree programs are available both online and in-person, making the decision to transition much easier for those with busy schedules.
Taking part in the curriculum will advance individual knowledge and increase the effectiveness of professionals. Clinical training is also a requirement of this program and can be completed at local hospitals or clinics. This program is a great choice for those seeking a career in the medical field, even with an existing degree in another field.

A card in Bootstrap 4 is a bordered box with some padding around its content. It includes options for headers, footers, content, colors, etc.
If you are familiar with Bootstrap 3, cards replace old panels, wells, and thumbnails.
To add a background color the card, use contextual classes (.bg-primary, .bg-success, .bg-info, .bg-warning, .bg-danger, .bg-secondary, .bg-dark and .bg-light.
Some example text. Some example text.
Use .card-title to add card titles to any heading element. The .card-text class is used to remove bottom margins for a <p> element if it is the last child (or the only one) inside .card-body. The .card-link class adds a blue color to any link, and a hover effect.
Some example text some example text. Some example text some example text. Some example text some example text. Some example text some example text.
The .card-columns class creates a masonry-like grid of cards (like pinterest). The layout will automatically adjust as you insert more cards.
The .card-deck class creates a grid of cards that are of equal height and width. The layout will automatically adjust as you insert more cards.
The .card-group class is similar to .card-deck. The only difference is that the .card-group class removes left and right margins between each card.
