U.S. Families: Not Poor But Feeling Poor
New research shows the share of Americans who lack enough ready cash on hand for emergencies shot up in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
These families do not have access to the liquid assets – cash or funds in their checking or savings account – to cover emergencies like layoffs, health crises, or even car repairs, according to an analysis of federal data by Caroline Ratcliffe of the Urban Institute, who presented the finding to the Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus in late September.
Ratcliffe's measure of financial fragility was families who did not have enough liquid assets to subsist at federal poverty levels for three months. That amounts to $2,873 for a single person, $4,883 for a family of three, and $5,888 for a family of four.
By this measure, 37 percent of families in the middle income group – earning $35,600 to $57,900 a year – in 2010 were financially fragile – up sharply from 28 percent in 2007, a year before the Great Recession began. No income group was spared by the downturn: in most cases, the share of families at risk increased between 9 percentage points and 13 percentage points.
Ratcliffe said that financial problems can cascade if cash-poor families resort to high-cost loans or credit cards to pay their bills, and building wealth becomes extremely difficult.
"A shortage of liquid assets can lead to cycles of debt when financial emergencies arise," creating "further financial instability," she said.

Table A1.1.New Initiatives: Monetary and Financial Systems Department
Table A1.4.New Initiatives (Since 1999): Statistics Department
|Toward a More Strategic Process to Identify TA Needs
|Tracking of Progress During the Project
|Enhancing Impact and Evaluating Final Effects
|Aligned MFD priorities with Board paper, "Ensuring Alignment of TA with the IMF's Policy Priorities" (SM/00/284), and updated priorities based on Board guidance (e.g., adding AML/CFT).
Introduced pre-TOR meetings, interested departments and MFD divisions are invited.
Introduced MAE/MFD TA Tracking System (MATTS), which helps to more clearly define a project and identify its objectives, track its progress, and evaluate its outcomes, thus providing lessons for future TA delivery.
MAE/MFD reorganization led to creation of a TA Wing and provided more resources for TA oversight and management. This has also helped strengthen TA prioritization, tracking, and evaluation. (Note: TAIMS will replace MATTS.)
Six-monthly meetings with area departments.
|MATTS and MFD reorganization (see column 1).
Missions place increased emphasis on developing detailed, time bound action plans.
Greater use of TA evaluation visits, which also check progress in projects.
Detailed monthly reports to Area Chiefs on progress of RAP, and regular meetings of Area Chiefs and TA Wing.
TA Request Log introduced to record ad hoc requests that are not included in the RAP or introduced during the annual meetings, and MFD's response.
|MATTS and MFD reorganization (see column 1).
Greater use of TA evaluation visits, with questionnaires on impact and sustainability distributed to country authorities and area departments.

Table A1.3.New Initiatives: Legal Department
|Toward a More Strategic Process to Identify TA Needs
|Tracking of Progress During the Project
|Enhancing Impact and Evaluating Final Effects
|Integration of TA into country operations and review work. All country lawyers are to be familiar with the TA that is being delivered to their assigned countries by LEG. Where appropriate, actual TA delivery should be done by the country lawyer himself. These measures serve not only to promote better linkages between country review and TA work, but also to enable the TA needs of a country to be addressed, where necessary and applicable, in the context of program design, or surveillance.
|All TA to be organized as "projects," with each project having predefined objectives, outputs, and associated deadlines. Progress is tracked and monitored against these predefined indicators.
|TA project outcome is evaluated against the project's predefined objectives by the respective TA manager.
|Toward a More Strategic Process to Identify TA Needs
|Tracking of Progress During the Project
|Enhancing Impact and Evaluating Final Effects
|Project Monitoring System (PMS) introduced to underpin the design, delivery, evaluation, and monitoring of TA in STA. It consists of a project framework summary, a statement of mission tasks, an end-of-mission evaluation report, a project evaluation report, and a progress report by the authorities.
|Sequence of matrices used to track project implementation. The PMS process has become more streamlined and focused, making the tracking of progress a more effective component of TA delivery.
|End-of-project evaluation reports are an integral component of the PMS. Formal procedures have been introduced to elicit feedback from the authorities on the effectiveness of TA delivery.
|Needs assessment; plans for improvement based on GDDS and ROSC; greater reliance on multisector missions to provide comprehensive assessments of countries' statistical systems, generally linked to the GDDS; and development and widespread use of the Data Quality Assessment Framework as an assessment tool.
|Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board continuously updated. GDDS participants undertake an annual update of their plans for improvement, together with the identification of associated TA needs. The DQAF provides important elements for prioritization in the department's TA program.
|The introduction of the various data standards initiatives has led to the consistent application and implementation of internationally accepted standards with respect to the compilation of macroeconomic statistics of relevance to the IMF. More systematic dissemination of TA reports and recommendations introduced.
|Geographic orientation introduced in STA involving the preparation of country strategy papers and closer coordination of TA with area departments.
|Process introduced to ensure that country strategy papers are updated on a regular basis based on inputs from the area departments and member countries.
|Based on a study of users' reactions to TA reports, procedures have been adapted to increase responsiveness to users' needs. A more integrated regional approach to TA prioritization is now embedded in the TA formulation process.

Posted at 11:39h in Journal entries
Friends and neighbors,
Here's our paltry showing for this month. As I write this, the snow is coming down off the Foothills in a flurry of what I hope are the last gasps of winter. Go away snow.
A couple of technical notes on this month's post, for Carol of May Dreams Gardens, queen bee and instigator of GBBD: Dear Carol, do the plants have to be in the ground, or just IN THE GARDEN? The pulsatilla and forget me nots are not planted. But blooming, so there!

search marketing PROS is open for business. In truth – not a new business – but with a new website. If you've ever been through a redesign you'll know what a herculean task that is. And YES – we should have done this a long time ago. It's like they say about the cobbler's son having no shoes…OK!
But at last, we've moved into a newer WordPress theme and loving it. If you're looking to get into a customizable WordPress site that is truely responsive, thus mobile friendly, we highly recommend the Avada theme. Lots of customization and options for getting the "look" that you want. Of course, our focus is on SEO, which while not at odds with good design, does focus more on search engine friendly content.

Rustic Red Lentil Soup
(Mahluta Corbasi)
1 cup red lentils, washed, drained
1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp butter or extra virgin olive oil
1 cup water, warm
2 cups chicken broth
3 tbsp tomato past
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (red pepper flakes)
2 tsp oregano
Saute the onion with the butter for 1-2 minutes, but do not burn the onion! Add the garlic and saute until the smells come out. Then add lentils and 1 cup water, stir. Put the lid on half way and cook for 5 minutes with a little bit under medium heat. The lentils will absorb the water quickly, so check often. Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 more minutes with the lid half way on over medium heat. Season with oregano, stir. Serve this soup with lemon wedges while still warm.
4 servings.
Meal Ideas:
- Chicken with Cabbage, Carrot Salad and Prune Dessert with Walnuts.

Hey Wanderers!
It's that time of year where there's an Earthy scent in the air, flowers are budding and Spring showers are pouring down. It's the season of change, so why not switch up the TBR too?
I've got a book haul this weekend that I'm pretty pumped about – the result of a impromptu splurge this past week when I had too much free time and Indigo was just around the corner...honestly, can you blame a girl?
So, here's what I've picked up recently! 🙂
. . .
Spring Book Haul|2019
Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young
I started this just a couple days ago and I'm tearing through it! It's breathtaking, wild, intense and chock-full of badass action! Not only is the cover absolutely gorgeous, but Adrienne Young (who is debut author,) has created and incredibly brutal and beautiful world that immediately captured my attention.
Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci
This one has been on my TBR for MONTHS but it took me forever to finally get my hands on it. Now that it's finally miine, I don't think this'll take me very long to finish – It's right up my alley and I've only heard good things!
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han
Ahhh it's the end! I'm kind of sad – Lara Jean is that one character that I can come to at anytime and immediately feel like I'm in high school again…whether that's a good or bad thing kind of depends on the day/chapter BUT it's hella relatable and I'm sure I'll tear through it like that rest of the series xD
A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
I finally finished The Fiery Cross and I'm already suffering from Outlander-Deprivation. It's pretty much impossible for me to live my life without Jaime and Claire so of course I had to get the next chapter in their story!
Emergency Contact by Mary H.K Choi
This was a totally random pick! I've never heard of the author or title, but I thought the cover was gorgeous and the description (which features a sarcastic writer who's just starting college and a brooding barista with a crazy ex-girlfriend) sounded like a good time.
Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott
This book got hyped up before it even got released and I knew I had to grab it – blame the adorable movie trailer. Don't ask me why I like these sob stories, I just do okay!?
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I feel like I'm way late to the party on this one but I've heard SO many good things about Red Queen and I've been trying to read it for months and it just never happened. Finally though, it's finally sitting on my TBR and waiting to be enjoyed! I'm always ready for a warrior-esque woman to capture my imagination.
. . .
– and that's it for my haul! Think it's a nice balance of fierce fighters and cute romance :p What are you reading this Spring? Tell me in the comments down below!
Have an awesome weekend! <3

EA-96-525 - Maui Memorial Hospital
March 5, 1997
Mr. Alan G. Lee, Administrator
Maui Memorial Hospital
Radioisotope Service
221 Mahalani Street
Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii 96793
(NRC Inspection Report No. 030-03561/96-01)
Dear Mr. Lee:
This refers to the February 5, 1997, letter Maui Memorial Hospital submitted in response to the apparent violation identified in NRC Inspection Report 030-03561/96-01, issued on January 13, 1997.
The NRC inspection was completed on December 11, 1996. As indicated in the NRC letter transmitting the inspection report, one apparent violation was identified involving the security of licensed radioactive material, i.e., an imaging room and nuclear medicine hot lab containing radioactive materials were left unsecured. Maui Memorial Hospital was given a choice of requesting a predecisional enforcement conference or submitting a written response to the apparent violation. Maui Memorial Hospital chose to submit a written response.
In its written response, Maui Memorial Hospital did not dispute the apparent violation, and described specific actions taken to correct the violation. These actions included instructions to technologists to store all licensed material only in designated restricted storage areas, the installation of an automatic door closure and keypad type lock on the nuclear medicine hot lab door, and instructions to technologists to keep this door closed at all times to prevent security breaches.
Based on the information developed during the inspection, and the information that you provided in your response to the inspection report, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and involved a failure in November 1996 to meet NRC requirements regarding the security of radioactive materials.
Although the violation did not result in the theft or loss of radioactive material, the purpose of securing materials is to prevent the unauthorized removal of materials that could pose a health and safety hazard. The NRC considers such violations a matter of significant regulatory concern; thus, this violation has been classified at Severity Level III in accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600.
In accordance with the Enforcement Policy, a base civil penalty in the amount of $2,750 is considered for a Severity Level III violation. Because your facility has not been the subject of escalated enforcement action within the last 2 inspections, the NRC considered whether credit was warranted for Corrective Action in accordance with the civil penalty assessment process in Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy. Given that the corrective actions described above were both prompt and comprehensive, credit is due for your corrective actions, resulting in no civil penalty being assessed in this case.
Accordingly, to encourage prompt and comprehensive correction of violations, and in recognition of the absence of previous escalated enforcement action, I have been authorized not to propose a civil penalty in this case. However, significant violations in the future, particularly violations of a similar nature, could result in a civil penalty. In addition, issuance of this Severity Level III violation constitutes escalated enforcement action which may subject you to more frequent inspection by NRC.
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence, and the date when full compliance was achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket in Inspection Report No. 030-03561/96-01 and letter from Maui Memorial Hospital dated February 5, 1997. Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional information, you should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response if you choose to submit one, will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

|Docket No. 030-03561
License No. 53-13519-01
During an NRC inspection conducted November 22 through December 11, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 20.1801 requires that a licensee secure from unauthorized removal or access licensed materials that are stored in controlled or unrestricted areas. 10 CFR 20.1802 requires that a licensee control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material that is in a controlled or unrestricted area and that is not in storage.
As defined in 10 CFR 20.1003, controlled area means an area, outside of a restricted area but inside the site boundary, to which access can be limited by the licensee for any reason. An unrestricted area means an area in which access is neither limited nor controlled by the licensee.
Contrary to the above, on November 22 and 25, 1996, the licensee did not secure from unauthorized removal or access licensed material stored in a controlled area. Specifically, on November 22, waste materials contaminated with iodine-131 were temporarily stored in the nuclear medicine imaging room, and the room was not secured or under surveillance by the licensee, and an individual other than a licensee employee was in the imaging room. On November 25, an eye applicator containing 91.2 millicuries of strontium-90 and a 3 curie molybdenum-99/technetium-99m generator were stored in the hot lab, which is located within the nuclear medicine imaging room, and the hot lab and imaging room were not secured from unauthorized access. (01013)
This is a Severity Level III violation (Supplement IV).
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violations, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence, and the date when full compliance was achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket in Inspection Report No. 030-03561/96-01 and a letter from Maui Memorial Hospital dated February 5, 1997. Therefore, no response to this Notice is required. However, you are required to submit a written statement or explanation pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201 if the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to respond, clearly mark your response as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation," and send it to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011.

It's time to get reacquainted with your favourite money-scabbing title and its collection of the coolest things money can buy…even if it's not your own money.
Martell Metaphore Cognac
We do a lot of whisky and beer at D'Marge but every now and then we like to branch out. And by branch out we mean presenting you guys with a US$40,000 cognac in the form of the Martell Metaphore.
The 120 year-old expression is a one-off creation that's been hand-picked by Augustin Chapeau, the first Cellar Master of the House, who raided the personal vineyards of Madame Martell. Whilst the recipe is a closely-guarded secret, we do know that the only bottle in the world uses Eaux-de-vie from 1898 alongside a trio of other Eaux-de-vie that's been aged from 1911 to 1920. Notes are said to involve a fine blend of red fruits, almonds, and pecans.
Even the case is a special one-off design that reflects the countryside and geography of the Grand Champagne region. The Martell Metaphore 120 year-old cognac went on sale at this year's Masters of Wines and Spirits event in Singapore.
Audemars Piguet Hôtel des Horlogers Switzerland
Welcome to the Audemars Piguet Hôtel des Horlogers in Switzerland. The Swiss watchmaker recently commissioned architecture firm Bjarke Ingles Group (BIG) to build a ski hotel which allows guests to ski from their room directly to the slopes via a succession of cool zig-zag ramps.
The 7,000 square metre landmark will also boast restaurants, bars, a spa and conference centre once it's complete in 2020. Did someone say bachelor party?
Hedon x 4h10 Vitesse Helmet
Hedon are back with their latest helmet design and it has us swooning. Produced as a collaboration between French online publication, 4h10, the new Vitesse features a full carbon fibre shell along with sweet 70s detailing and paint scheme. On the inside there's even more quality appointments like Hed Armor lining, Merlin anti-bacterial fabric, three-channel ventilation system, and calf leather trim and lining. Better move quick though as only 100 examples will be made.
1988 BMW R80RT 'V08' By Vagbund Moto
You wouldn't think we'd give you a helmet without a matching vintage bike did you? This one comes complements of Vagabund Moto whose latest build is this 1988 BMW R80RT they've dubbed the V08. The minimalist motorcycle sees a slimmer fuel tank, shortened handle bars, tucked wiring and cool 3D printed controls.
Scarpa Drago Climbing Shoes

The Scarpa Drago features a highly sensitive fit in a flexible housing to ensure maximum control without compromising stability and grip. As per industry standard, the shoes uses high-friction Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber to ensure performance on everything from steep surfaces with microholds and edges to glassy, polished rock. It's also a damn cool looking shoe too.
XING Miss R Off-Road Electric Supercar
If Batman was a rally car racer, this would be his steed. The XING MISS R is claiming to be the world's first off-road electric supercar and it has 1,300hp to back it up. The car has even gone through early testing phases across different terrains to ensure its performance. So what does four-wheel torque vectoring via four independent motors at each wheel get you?
Try 0 – 100km/h in 1.8 seconds and 0 – 200km/h in 5.1 seconds. XING mobility founders say that its staggering performance is thanks to the car's 350V motors and 1 megawatt battery pack.
"It works by submerging cells directly in 3M novec 7200 engineered fluid. The pack is currently one of the highest power density EV battery packs on the market, offering up to 50% weight saving in comparison to industry standards. With its modular building-block design, it is the first battery pack specifically designed for low-mid volume applications."

Local student to attend UW DO-IT scholars program this month
July 3, 2012
By Katie Larsen
Just DO-IT!
The University of Washington's DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking and Technology) program will host another round of scholars this month, including local teenager Grace Yukawa.
Yukawa has bilateral deafness. She will be a junior next year at Edmonds Woodway High School but lives in Newcastle. She attends the school because it has an extensive Deaf and Hard of Hearing program that is not offered in her local school district.
"The school allows me to attend mainstream classes with a large pool of available interpreters and note-takers if needed," Yukawa said.
The DO-IT program offers high school students with disabilities an opportunity to experience college life by taking classes, living in the dorms, being mentored and networking with other students with disabilities. Yukawa learned about the program through some of her friends who went last year.
DO-IT focuses on math, science and technology fields and emphasizes the use of computers and Internet to enrich students' education. Yukawa is interested in math and science and said the program would be a good fit for her.
To apply, she had to send a transcript to show her good grades, an essay about why she wanted to be part of the program and a letter of recommendation from a teacher. The DO-IT Advisory Board then selects scholars into the program.
"The board considers an applicant's interest and aptitude in college studies, motivation to participate in DO-IT, contribution to the diversity of the program and perceived benefit from program offerings," Brianna Blaser, counselor and coordinator of DO-IT, wrote in an email.
Approximately 40 students will participate in the summer study program as either scholars or interns. Phase 1 Scholars like Yukawa will spend two weeks living in the residence halls, participating in lectures and labs, and connecting with other students with disabilities.
Director Sheryl Burgstahler found the program in 1993. Since then, nearly 300 students have participated, Blaser said.
"The program is aimed to increase the success of people with disabilities in challenging academic programs and careers," Blaser said. "Helping individuals with disabilities gain access to technology gives them tools that make them more likely to succeed both in school and in their careers."
Yukawa said she hopes to experience what college is like and to gain more knowledge in different science and math fields, and computer technologies.
She said her disability is an everyday challenge because anytime she doesn't have an interpreter, she struggles to communicate with others. Yukawa already utilizes some technology, such as texting on her cellphone and showing it to others to get her message across.
"I do things people don't expect of a deaf person such as dancing, playing a musical instrument, learning a spoken foreign language and teaching a dance class for deaf students at Blue Dog Dance in Renton," Yukawa said.
She said she doesn't yet know what she wants to be when she's older but becoming a pharmacist is a possibility.
Katie Larsen is an intern at The Issaquah Press.

Bereaved families are to be told that organs were removed from loved ones without consent after a huge blunder affecting the UK donor register.
Around 800,000 people have had their wishes about the use of their organs wrongly recorded due to an error, it was revealed on Saturday.
An investigation found that 45 individuals for whom false data were stored have since died. The NHS is about to contact approximately 20 families who allowed organs to be taken after being misinformed about what consent had previously been given.
Joyce Robins of pressure group Patient Concern told the Sunday Telegraph: "This Government has got an absolutely dreadful record when it comes to data, but it is absolutely horrific that such sensitive details were handled in such a careless way."
Donors can give permission for any of their organs to be taken, or provide more specific agreements. Many donors have strong views about what can be taken. Often consent is not given for eyes to be removed, or bodies to be used in medical research.
But the distinctions were accidentally deleted in 1999, when details held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency - which includes a request for consent in applications for a driving licence - was transferred to the organ registry.
The mistake came to light last year when NHS Blood and Transplant wrote letters to new donors thanking them for joining the register, and outlining what they had agreed to donate. Respondents wrote back complaining that the information was wrong.
After detecting the error, NHS Blood and Transplant, which runs the organ donation register, was able to correct 400,000 of the flawed records. But hundreds of thousands more people are due to be contacted shortly and asked to confirm what consent has been given.
Until fresh consent is obtained, organs will not be taken from any of those people in the event of death.It is illegal to remove organs without prior consent from the person who died, or their next of kin. In the cases where errors were made, families are believed to have been asked for permission, but their decisions were based on misinformation about the wishes of their relatives.
A spokeswoman for NHS Blood and Transplant said: "We are aware of issues with the records with a small proportion of the people who signed up to the NHS organ donor register. We are taking it very seriously and are urgently investigating the situation. Our priority is in ensuring that the families of those who may have been affected are contacted."

Hey Guys,
I am new to the Forum but I have been following Raspberry Pi for ages.
I am currently trying to port Android onto a Raspberry Pi. I found that the only one that would run smoothly with 256MB of RAM is 1.6 Donut. The 700MHz Processor would work with Gingerbread (2.3), it is just a shame that the RasPi doesn't have atleast 512 MBs of RAM.
Tell me what you think of my project and I will keep you updated on here.

State may ban plants from using ocean as coolant
State water board regulators are mulling a plan to stop power companies from vacuuming the ocean for water to cool their machinery.
Environmentalists say the practice destroys too much sea life, while utility advocates say the impact is minimal. They say banning the practice would cost too much, jeopardize the reliability of the electricity grid and slow the state's transition to clean energy.
The State Water Resources Control Board's proposal would require plants to supplant seawater pipes with massive cooling towers that recycle water. Power plants could also use air-cooling platforms.
It was not immediately clear when the board would vote on the issue.

China Regional Action Network – July 2008
China: Chen Guangcheng (m)
Concerns: Prisoner of Conscience, freedom of expression, torture and ill-treatment
Chen Guangcheng was put under house arrest in September 2005. The blind human rights activist and legal advisor, was assisting villagers in Linyi, Shandong Province, in a lawsuit against local authorities. The authorities had carried out a campaign of forced sterilizations and abortions in pursuit of birth quotas which reportedly affected thousands of local women. He was brought to court almost a year later on August 18, 2006. In the run-up to his trial, Chen Guangcheng, along with his family members and his own defense lawyers, were beaten, harassed and intimidated.

The following is a transcript of Gov. Asa Hutchinson's radio column for the holidays:
The holiday season is a magical time of year. Christmas brings back fond memories and helps us create new ones we treasure with family and friends.
Susan and I love getting ready for Christmas. She enjoys decorating our home with "pretty things," as she calls them, putting up everything from brightly-lit Christmas trees to singing reindeer. But even the most beautiful decorations can't compare with spending time with our families. Nothing beats celebrating the holidays with our children and grandchildren. And each year, the greatest gift we receive by far is simply being together.
Everyone has their own special holiday traditions. At the beginning of the Hanukkah season, I had the privilege of being the first governor to light the first candle of the Little Rock Chabad Menorah. The Menorah Lighting Ceremony was a humbling experience. Lighting the first candle was a bright reminder that it only takes one small light to illuminate the darkness.
I also had an opportunity last week to host the "Christmas at the Capitol" event where we collected gifts for our state's foster children. I want to personally thank everyone who took the time to donate a Christmas gift. It's a simple gesture, but it will make more of an impact than you'll ever know. After all, giving is a big part of what Christmas is all about. Wherever you go and whatever you do this holiday season, make it a priority to give back to someone else.
Take advantage of every opportunity to make a difference in someone's life this holiday season. Cherish this time with your family, give back to others and share the joy of the season wherever you go.
God bless, and Merry Christmas.

- Category:Article
- Something informative. E.g. Understanding Uno.
- Category:Draft
- Something not finished yet. E.g. Threading-Model
- Category:FAQ
- Frequently Asked Question(s). E.g. API FAQ.
- Category:To-Do
- Something to be done. E.g. Framework To-Dos.
- Category:Tutorial
- Article teaching something. E.g. Writer Tutorial.
- Category:How to
- A receipt to solve a particular problem. E.g. Windows Tips.

- Category:Project
- Entry page for an accepted OOo project. E.g. the ODF Toolkit.
- Category:Analysis
- Document analysing a particular aspect of OOo. E.g. Process Flow.
Generic Categories

- Rule
- Coding Standards, Guidelines
- Keyword
- Eclipse
Absolute and generic categories may be combined in an independent way. E.g. a tutorial about something in the Uno project may have the categories Tutorial and Uno. To show all Uno tutorials the DPL (Dynamic Page List) extension is handy. E.g.
<DPL> category=Uno category=Tutorial </DPL>

Partial Retirement and Wage Profiles of Older Workers
, Thomas L. Steinmeier
NBER Working Paper No. 1000 (Also Reprint No. r0619)
Older workers are likely to face different wage offers for work while not retired than for work while partially retired. Conventional analyses of wage profiles pool all waqe observations without distin-guishing among individuals according to retirement status.Our empirical analysis suggests the following conclusions.1)Wages for work while not retired and for work while partially retiredare significantly different from one another.2) wage offers facing older workers may vary considerably between those who do and do not face lower limit constraints requiring full-time work or none at all on their main job. 3) Failing to distinguish between wages paid to the partially retired and to the not retired causes a sizable exaggeration of the decline with experience in the wage offer for work while not retired.

text: Hello all! Giving a new shout to this community. I am excited to meet new friends and possibly help with my automotive technical experience. My first BMW was a 1984 318i. Growing pains and learning curves taught me to appreciate the engineering that goes into these cars. This also was my first engine build. I unfortunately lost this vehicle to a horrible accident. I later found a 1976 2002, and started a project that was later lost due to some bad conjoining words "Mother Nature, Oklahoma, May". I now have a 2011 328i M series trim package and absolutely love it. Im in search for another 70's model to start a project. My career is to work on them, my passion is to drive them and make new friends along the road! Best Regards to all, MJ (Oklahoma City,OK)

Why is India known as a land of historical monuments?
India is a land of ancient monuments, big palaces, towers and heritage sites that spell the grandeur and splendor of the olden day architecture.
Men in royal kingdoms of the olden days had little knowledge of science and technology as we call them in modern terminology, but constructed architectural marvels that were so precise in calculations of area and dimensions that they would easily beat modern day scientific principles.
These men, part of many royal kingdoms were skilled workers who worked with high level of efficiency and rendered very beautiful monuments that are a feast to the eyes.
What are the special measures taken to protect these monuments?
Many ancient monuments and architectural sites have been preserved by the government of India under special and separate provisions made for them exclusively, but their greatness is so huge that the world recognizes them for their powerful structures and has provided special forms of protection.
The UNESCO, in a similar manner has recognized many important monuments in India and has given them special status as 'UNESCO Heritage Sites.
These monuments receive special grants from the UN for their preservation, maintenance of the structure and further beautification like addition of gardens, lawn areas, shelters, water facilities, sufficient lighting etc.
