Partnership Planning Grant: Coordinated Evaluation of Child Care and Development Fund Policies and Initiatives in Connecticut
01. Challenge
02. Key Activities
03. Impact
04. Learn More
The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is the largest source of federal funding to states to provide child-care assistance for low-income families. These subsidies help offset the expense of childcare for low-income working parents. The Connecticut Office of Early Childhood (OEC) has recently made several significant subsidy policy changes that affect affordability of care, the supply of high-quality care, and families' access to subsidies in the state. OEC now needs to understand the impact of the new policies.
EDC is partnering with OEC to create a plan to evaluate these policies and their impact on children and families in Connecticut. The goal of this planning grant is to develop the tools necessary to conduct a high-quality evaluation that can inform future state subsidy policies.
The project is carrying out the following activities:
Develop a data catalogue highlighting available data and data gaps related to the subsidy policies, thereby allowing the team to fill gaps during the planning grant
Conduct data explorations and preliminary analyses to build the capacity of OEC to design and carry out rigorous evaluations of their subsidy policies
Engage with a consortium of nine other grantees to identify common measures, instruments, and analytic approaches and then to refine the logic model
The project will result in the development of a robust, rigorous evaluation plan to guide a subsequent study of OEC's subsidy policies and their impact on families' access to care.

Environmental Health EPA Tightens Diesel Ship & Train Standards
In a welcome contrast to the disappointing ozone rule the agency announced last week, EPA has issued tougher air-pollution standards for diesel locomotives and marine engines. When fully implemented in 2030, the new standards will reduce particulate matter pollution by 90% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 80%. The new standards only cover ships traveling on inland waterways and between U.S. ports – which means that LA and Long Beach residents will still be breathing lots of pollution from international cargo ships – but EPA estimates that its benefits will still be substantial:
When fully implemented, these new standards will reduce soot or particulate matter (PM) by 90 percent or 27,000 tons and reduce nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx) by 80 percent or nearly 800,000 tons. Nationwide this regulation will help prevent 1,400 premature deaths, and 120,000 lost workdays annually in 2030. The estimated annual health benefits are valued between $8.4 billion and $12 billion. When these older locomotive and marine engines reach the end of their useful life, and new engines enter into the nation's diesel fleet, the benefits of today's action will increase.
In the Washington Post, Juliet Eilperin reports that it'll cost businesses $740 million to implement the rules; she gets a reaction from the railway industry:
Edward R. Hamberger, president of the Association of American Railroads, said he is confident his industry could comply.
"Our locomotive builders will be required to design diesel particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction systems that can fit within the narrow confines of a locomotive and withstand the harsh railroad operating environment," Hamberger said in a statement. "In meeting the emissions limits established by the previous standards, the railroad industry has achieved emissions and energy efficiencies beyond those contemplated at the time the previous standards were issued."
Tightening requirements from ships coming from outside the U.S. would be a good next step, given all the pollution-related health problems among those who live near California ports. Senator Barbara Boxer has introduced legislation that would require oceangoing vessels that visit U.S. ports to use cleaner fuel and cleaner engines; at a hearing last month, she stated that foreign-flagged ships emit almost 90% of the vessel pollution in the U.S.

Learn more about bronchoscopy
In 1897, Gustav Killian, the "father of bronchoscopy," first viewed the trachea and main bronchi through the larynx via a rigid, hollow tube. He quickly realized that the utility of his new invention was not limited to visualizing the airways. Later that same year, he removed a bone lodged in the right main bronchus of one of his patients. Bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology were born. Modifications and improvements to the bronchoscope were made over the years. In 1904, Chevalier Jackson equipped the bronchoscope with an electric light source at the distal end and also added a suction channel. Early in the 1960s Shigeto Ikeda devised a means to replace the small electric bulb with glass fibers capable of transmitting brighter light from an outside source. The device worked so well that he requested Machida and Olympus to create a prototype for a flexible fiberscope using fiberoptics. He presented the first flexible bronchoscope at the 1966 International Congress on Diseases of the Chest in Copenhagen. Following his success, he continued to strive to make further improvements to the scope. At the end of the 1980s, Asahi Pentax replaced the fiberoptic bundle with a charge-coupled sensor at the tip of the scope. This videobronchoscope allowed the bronchoscopist to look at a monitor screen instead of through the eyepiece of the scope.
Bronchoscopy is now an integral part of respiratory medicine. Diagnostic indications include tissue diagnosis, detection and staging of lung malignancy, evaluation of diffuse lung diseases like sarcoidosis and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, pulmonary inspection of burn patients, identification of organisms infecting the respiratory tract and lungs. As a therapeutic modality, bronchoscopy is used to place stents to protect airways vulnerable to collapse or occlusion, to remove foreign bodies or masses and to treat early stage endobronchial malignancy.
Currently we are experiencing a new wave of fascinating techniques in diagnostic and therapeutic technology. Endobronchial ultrasound, electromagnetic navigation, optical coherence tomography and alveoloscopy are the most recent additions to diagnostic bronchoscopy. Recent therapeutic advances include intrabronchial valve placement for nonsurgical lung resection and thermoplasty for difficult-to-treat asthma.

..so I've just surfaced from a couple Kafka-esque evenings spent in xbox tech support limbo. I won't bore you with the details of why (suffice to say, Microsoft's policy of rewarding its long-time customers by deleting their access still has some kinks to work out), but I've gone from xbox tech support, to xbox level 2 tech support, to email support with Windows Live ID, back to Xbox tech support, to billing, and back to xbox leve 2 tech support, where the last guy I talked to hung up on me ("accidentally" I'm sure). Irate, I called back, trying to bypass the Mike the X-Treme!!11! voice-activated computer phone menu by shouting "OPERATOR! OPERATOR! OPERATOR!" at it until stopped trying to sell me upgrades and connected me to a live person. So, after about 4 hours of holding, transferring, re-explaining the problem, re-explaining why their proposed solutions won't work, re-explaining the problem, re-trying the proposed solutions so I could re-tell them the exact error messages, holding, listening to the Most X-Treme!!11!est Of All Hold Music, transferring, etc… this last person fixed the problem in 6 minutes. She said, "hmm. well, we could do this…." and it was done.
I'm sure you can tell by the subject of this post that the problem here is that the difference was the last person I talked to and the first 6 was that she was American. And it really makes me feel awful that, when I heard an accent I recognized as not-Indian, a tiny little part of me went, "oh, thank god."
Intellectually, I know it's not India's fault. Intellectually, I know that the people who man these tech support lines are given a strict script to follow and are probably not allowed to vary from it too much. I know that, for every phone operator out there, there are probably 100 people who want their job, so the pressure to fulfill the time quotas and to never veer from the script must be intense. And that the scripts probably work for 95% of the callers, and that I only call tech support for those issues that the script can't handle.
But still, it reinforces a subtle racism when, if the Indian front-lines can't solve the problem, and they bump you up far enough up the chain, you eventually reach an American voice with actual authority to make changes. I think that's what gets me most. Because before I talked to Honkey McPersonable, I talked to an Indian in the billing department who said what I was asking for wasn't possible. It's like they get the Indians to do all the dirty work, sending customers through endless loops of transferring and holding and red tape, and they ride in like a Great White Hope, bestowing clarity and authority to those who have risen above the fray.
So F— you, Microsoft, and F— you, BellSouth (another, much longer story). F— you for making me dread hearing what I used to think was the Most Awesomest Accent of English Ever. F— you for reducing your tech support to reports on time-per-call and calls-answered-per-day. F— you for not giving your farmed-out Support Centers any authority to act on customer's behalf. F— you for your whole poopy Tech Support system.

Q: leap year determination macOS 10.15.4 and Calendar.app 11.0 display February 2020 with 28 days, indicating 2020 is not a leap year. Here's a screenshot, showing January and February 2020; note that February 29 is greyed in the February space, indicating that 29 is not a February day:

On the other hand, the month display shows a 29-day February:

Many online sources say 2020 is indeed a leap year. For example, this Microsoft page contains this procedure for determining leap years:

How to determine whether a year is a leap year
To determine whether a year is a leap year, follow these steps:

*

*If the year is evenly divisible by 4, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5.

*If the year is evenly divisible by 100, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4.

*If the year is evenly divisible by 400, go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.

*The year is a leap year (it has 366 days).

*The year is not a leap year (it has 365 days).

Applying this, 2020 is determined to be a leap year, and would have a 29-day February.
Who's right? Maybe this is just a bug in the year calendar display.

A: This is a very easy mistake to make when bold text, dim text collide with a reasonable assumption about something as familiar as a calendar. We train ourselves to expect Sunday first or Monday first.
In this case the solution is to get a screen shot and review the actual data, not what we think we are seeing. I say we since I've been in the same situation as OP.
In the images, it's clear that February 29 was drawn and that there's no leap year error on Catalina here in the Gregorian calendar setting.

A: The Microsoft Answer is worded incorrectly, because the forumala is actually correct.
=IF(OR(MOD(A1,400)=0,AND(MOD(A1,4)=0,MOD(A1,100)<>0)),"Leap Year", "NOT a Leap Year")

Means if it's divisible by 400 or 4 with a remainder of zero, it's a leap year; if it's divisible by 100 it isn't.

This is a big question and I hope I can give you a good,answer.
Every country needs an economy just as much as it needs a government and a society to live in it. Economics is the study of production, distribution, and the supply and demand of goods and services. It aims to predict how people will act in different situations and can be used to manipulate an economy in order to stabilize it.
The more an economy produces, distributes, buys and sells good, the bigger its economy gets. For a country to become a rich and prosperous country, it needs to do a lot of this. In the 1500s and 1600s for example, countries became big governments and economies by land acquisitions and conquering other countries, and then using those countries to trade products. The Dutch, Spanish, and English were all did this. At the time, they were three of the most powerful countries politically on the globe.
Then in the 1700s and 1800s, countries became "big countries" by industrializing. Populations became bigger, the countries started running differently and producing differently. Countries that industrialized became richer while countries that didn't industrialized stayed where they were.
If you look at the globe today, countries that are fully industrialized are typically richer than the countries that are still industrializing or the countries that aren't as industrialized. These fully industrialized countries are also the most politically powerful governments on the globe.
I hope this helps you somewhat.

Ruth Rendell was an exceptional crime writer, and will be remembered as a legend in her own lifetime. Her groundbreaking debut novel, From Doon With Death, was first published in 1964 and introduced the reader to her enduring and popular detective, Inspector Reginald Wexford, who went on to feature in twenty-four of her subsequent novels. With worldwide sales of approximately 20 million copies, Rendell was a regular Sunday Times bestseller. Her sixty bestselling novels include police procedurals, some of which have been successfully adapted for TV, stand-alone psychological mysteries, and a third strand of crime novels under the pseudonym Barbara Vine. Very much abreast of her times, the Wexford books in particular often engaged with social or political issues close to her heart. Rendell won numerous awards, including the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger for 1976's best crime novel with A Demon in My View, a Gold Dagger award for Live Flesh in 1986, and the Sunday Times Literary Award in 1990. In 2013 she was awarded the Crime Writers' Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence in crime writing. In 1996 she was awarded the CBE and in 1997 became a Life Peer. Ruth Rendell died in May 2015. Her final novel, Dark Corners, was published in October 2015.

New Comic Book Celebrates Life of Betty White
By John Russell
A new comic book is celebrating the life of actress Betty White.
White, who would have turned 100 on January 17, had a career of more than 80 years and became America's favorite older actress. She died at home last week in her sleep, her agent said.
From her early days in television to her famous part on "The Golden Girls" and her social media fame, the 30-page comic book by TidalWave Productions follows White's Hollywood journey. The book will be available both on computers and in print.
A page from a biography comic book tracing the life of Betty White is seen in this handout image obtained by Reuters on January 4, 2022. (TidalWave Productions/Handout via REUTERS)
TidalWave Productions has released other biographies – or life stories - of famous people including Carrie Fisher, Lucille Ball, David Bowie and Elizabeth Taylor.
White won best-supporting actress awards for her part on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" in 1975 and 1976.
She won another Emmy in 1986 for "The Golden Girls," a show about four older women living together in Miami. The show explored the issues of an age group rarely shown on American television.
White also was nominated for an Emmy six other times for her acting in "The Golden Girls." She played the part of Rose Nylund, a kind person from America's Midwest whose husband had died. "The Golden Girls" ran from 1985 to 1992 and was one of the top-rated television shows of its time.
White, who had no children, worked for animal causes. She once turned down a part in the movie "As Good as It Gets" because of a scene in which a dog was thrown in a waste chute.

La Société Latham était une société de construction aéronautique fondée en 1916 par Jean Latham, cousin de Hubert Latham, à Caudebec-en-Caux, en bordure de la Seine. Elle construit des hydravions au profit de la Marine nationale.

Latham reprend les établissements Coutant à Caudebec-en-Caux qui fabriquaient des hydravions. Cette activité se poursuit à Caudebec-en-Caux jusqu'en 1947 par le regroupement des sociétés Latham, Breguet et Potez. En 1952, la société prend le nom de REVIMA (Révision de Matériel Aéronautique) et rejoint le groupe Chargeurs Réunis.

À la liquidation de Latham en 1927, l'usine de Caudebec-en-Caux est reprise par la SECM (Société d'emboutissage et de constructions mécaniques) de Félix Amiot.

En 1928, l'explorateur norvégien Roald Amundsen, à la recherche d'un hydravion pour aller au secours de l'expédition d'Umberto Nobile en perdition sur la banquise, au nord de la Norvège, fait appel à la France. Le ministre de la marine de l'époque, Georges Leygues met à sa disposition un hydravion et son équipage. Un nouvel hydravion, le Latham 47, vient de terminer ses premiers essais à Caudebec-en-Caux. Il s'envole le  pour Bergen (Norvège). L'équipage du Latham 47 est commandé par le capitaine de corvette René Guilbaud. Il a pour copilote le capitaine de corvette Albert Cavelier de Cuverville, pour mécanicien, le maître Gilbert Brazy et pour radiotélégraphiste, le second maître Emile Valette. L'hydravion disparaît le  avec l'explorateur Roald Amundsen et le pilote norvégien Leif Dietrichson qui y avaient embarqué à Bergen. On ne retrouvera de l'appareil qu'un flotteur et un réservoir. Un mémorial À ceux du Latham 47, dû à l'architecte Louis Rey et au sculpteur Robert Delandre, a été érigé à Caudebec-en-Caux en 1931. Le , la marine norvégienne annonce une expédition pour le mois d' afin de rechercher les restes de l'épave. À l'aide d'un sous-marin automatisé, baptisé Hugin, l'exploration d'une centaine de km² au nord-ouest de l'île aux Ours pourrait retrouver les débris du Latham 47 disparu il y a bientôt 81 ans.

En 1930, l'usine appartient à la SGA (Société générale aéronautique) formée par le gouvernement en fusionnant plusieurs avionneurs (Hanriot, Nieuport-Astra, SAB, SECM et CAMS).

Lancement en  de l'hydravion Blériot 5190 « Santos-Dumont », équipé de moteurs Hispano-Suiza d'une puissance totale de 650 ch.

L'usine montera en 1935 les cellules des multiplaces Amiot 143.

The land of Sonoma Creek has a rich heritage dating back to the late 1800s. What once was a successful dairy operation then became home to Brahma Steers, pedigree horses and rodeos. In 1978, the founders of Sonoma Creek returned to the land to begin working on the formation of the vineyards. Over the years, Sonoma Creek evolved from a vineyard-only operation into a winery and 1989 saw the first release of Sonoma Creek Chardonnay.
In 2003, the Kautz Family, makers of Ironstone Vineyards wines, added Sonoma Creek to their portfolio of wine offerings. With their commitment to sourcing premium winegrapes from the very best vineyards Sonoma County has to offer, combined with their experience of over four decades of growing premium winegrapes and close to two decades of producing award-winning wines, you'll discover these wines reflect the outstanding quality of this historic region.

Hvozdík písečný český (Dianthus arenarius subsp. bohemicus) je kriticky ohrožená bíle kvetoucí květina, endemický poddruh hvozdíku písečného.

Výskyt
Tato rostlina vyrůstá výhradně v České republice v Národní přírodní památce Kleneč v Českém středohoří. Jediná přirozená lokalita hvozdíku písečného českého je u obce Kleneč, která leží poblíž Roudnice nad Labem v okrese Litoměřice. Jedná se o písčitou stráň v nadmořské výšce 195 až 210 m orientovanou na jihozápad, kde je podloží tvořeno druhohorními sedimenty české křídové pánve, (slíny a jíly), které jsou překryty čtvrtohorními štěrkopísky vytvořenými Labem. Druhé, nepůvodní, záložní stanoviště (vzdálené asi 6 km) s umělou výsadbou z roku 1987 je na lokalitě Na Kamenici nedaleko obce Kyškovice.

Počátkem 20. století hvozdík písečný český rostl ještě hojně také na stráních u nedaleké obce Vražkov. Postupně však došlo ke změně jeho biotopu (zarostl dřevinami) a okolo roku 1950 zcela vymizel.

Optimální růstové podmínky pro hvozdík písečný český jsou v mezernatých, řídce zapojených travinných společenstvech na písčinách, kde je dostatek slunečního svitu a minimum vyšších konkurenčních rostlin. Je vázán na štěrkopískový podklad s obsahem hrubých částic okolo 65 %, obsahem humusu do 3 % a pH půdy od 4,2 do 4,8. Díky kůlovitému kořenu dobře snáší silné vysychání půdy které nepříznivě působí na jeho potenciální konkurenty. Jeho stanoviště v České republice je Katalogem biotopů ČR klasifikováno jako "Otevřené trávníky písčin s paličkovcem šedým (Corynephorus canescens)".

Popis

Vytrvalá, dlouhověká sivozelená rostlina dorůstající do výše 8 až 15 cm. Vytváří hustý trs který má silný a hluboký primární kořen s plazivými rozvětvenými oddenky. Z trsu vyrůstá vytrvalá přízemní růžice, listy v ní bývají dlouhé asi 5 cm, jsou velmi úzké 1 až 2 mm a po okraji drsné. Lodyha je přímá, článkovaná a je porostlá listy kratšími než jsou přízemní.

Na lodyze vyrůstají jeden až tři oboupohlavné květy v řídkém vidlanovitém květenství. Pod kalichem jsou obvejčitě kopinaté až vejčité, ostře zašpičatělé listeny. Trubkovitý kalich, barvy
, je dlouhý 25 až 30 mm a někdy se k vrcholu nepatrně zužuje. Kališní lístky jsou trojúhelníkovité, špičaté. Koruna dlouhá 13 až 15 mm je bílá nebo nepatrně narůžovělá, u báze mnohdy nazelenalá a chlupatá. Korunní lístky jsou obvejčité až okrouhlé, k bázi se klínovitě zužují; mimo neděleného středu jsou do poloviny i více roztřepené v úzké, rovněž roztřepené úkrojky které bývají dlouhé 4 až 8 mm.

Rostlina kvete od poloviny května do konce července, nejvíce rozvitých květů je v první polovině června. Někdy dochází k opakovanému kvetení, tehdy se květy objevují od poloviny srpna do konce října. Vonné květy jsou cizosprašné, u báze korunní trubky jsou žlázky s nektarem pro opylovače kterými je zejména blanokřídlý hmyz (včely, vosy, mouchy), brouci a motýli. Plodem jsou pukající tobolky, zhruba o čtvrtinu delší kalichu. Obsahují 25 až 30 semen, 2,3 až 2,7 mm dlouhých, která se díky silného větru mohou rozšířit na větší vzdálenosti.

Rozmnožování

Hvozdík písečný český se může rozmnožovat vegetativně (oddenky) i generativně (semeny). Při vegetativním rozmnožování vyrostou na nové rostlince již ve stáří 2 až 3 týdnů v úžlabí jejich listů nové růžice. V dalších létech tyto růžice spolu srůstají a vytvářejí jeden trs, představují genetiky identický klon.

Při generativním rozmnožování vytvoří rostlinky za 5 týdnů po vyklíčení již 8 lístků a v jejich úžlabích se objevují nové růžice. Následujícího roku rostlina vytvoří trs a rozkvete prvými 1 až 2 květy. Aby mohlo semeno vyklíčit musí se nacházet přímo ve volné, jinými rostlinami nezarostlé půdě a v blízkém okolí nesmí růst konkurenční rostliny.

Ohrožení
Rostliny jsou na stanovišti nejvíce ohrožovány zarůstáním původní písčiny. Se změnou biotopu vyrůstají v blízkosti náletové dřeviny (akáty, borovice) a opad z těchto stromů společně s ukončením pastvy hospodářských zvířat způsobuje zvýšení podílu humusu v horní části půdy. To přináší výhodnější podmínky pro rychle rostoucí rostliny, především traviny které nízké rostlinky hvozdíku písečného českého zastiňují a znemožňují vyklíčení jeho semen. Názorně to bylo prokázáno v roce 1999, tehdy byla na ploše 1200 m² mechanicky odstraněna humusová vrstva a nové rostlinky hvozdíku písečného českého se tam začaly rychle objevovat.

Ministerstvo životního prostředí vypracovalo "Komplexní záchranný program pro hvozdík písečný český" kde popisuje způsob jak postupovat při jeho záchraně. Pravidelná péče o stanoviště (kosení trávy, ořezávání náletových dřevin, odstraňování konkurenčních travin) probíhá pravidelně od roku 1987 a od roku 1993 se sleduje vliv těchto zásahů na jejich populaci. V roce 2003 byl zaveden monitoring populací při kterém se sčítají jedinci (trsy) a sleduje se vzájemný poměr kvetoucích a nekvetoucích. Roku 2009 rostlo u obce Kleneč asi 1470 trsů a na nepůvodním stanovišti u Kyškovic 16 trsů.

Na své lokalitě u obce Kleneč je hvozdík písečný český také ohrožen mezidruhovým křížením s hvozdíkem kartouzkem (Dianthus carthusianorum). Dále byly pozorovány v ještě nezralých tobolkách otvory o průměru cca 1,5 mm a po dozrání byly bez semen, nejpravděpodobnějším škůdcem se jeví klikoroh Hypera arator z čeledi nosatcovití (Curculionidae). Ne zcela potvrzenými ničiteli mohou být i mravenci rodu Formica rufibarbis kteří si pravděpodobně budují své kolonie přímo pod trsy rostlin a ty následně usychají.

Hvozdík písečný český, stejně jako NPP Kleneč, byly zahrnuty do celoevropského systému ochrany přírody Natura 2000. "Černým a červeným seznamem cévnatých rostlin ČR z roku 2000", stejně jako vyhláškou MŽP ČR č. 395/1992 Sb. je považován za kriticky ohrožený druh.

La garantie décès est, en France, la prestation financière versée aux proches d'une personne décédée, par la Sécurité sociale et sous certaines conditions. Les institutions de retraite complémentaire et les organismes assureurs complémentaires tels que institutions de prévoyance, mutuelles et sociétés d'assurance peuvent également verser des prestations liées au décès. Ces prestations complémentaires couvrent plus largement le risque. Elles prennent en compte toutes les situations de lien familial et prévoient des rentes d'éducation pour les orphelins. Il existe trois types de prestations financières liées au décès : le capital décès, la pension de réversion et la rente.

Les prestations de la Sécurité Sociale

Le capital décès
Le capital décès versé par la Sécurité sociale est destiné à permettre aux proches de faire face aux frais immédiats occasionnés par le décès (notamment les frais d'obsèques).

Le versement d'un capital est prévu dans le cas du décès d'une personne considérée comme relevant du régime de la Sécurité sociale, à savoir :
	un salarié
	un chômeur indemnisé ou en fin d'indemnisation depuis moins d'un an
	une personne titulaire d'une pension d'invalidité ou d'une rente accident de travail
	une personne en situation de maintien de droits.

Les bénéficiaires
Le capital est versé par les caisses primaires d'assurance maladie (CPAM) en priorité aux personnes qui étaient, au jour du décès, à la charge effective, totale et permanente de la personne décédée.

Sinon, la prestation est versée par ordre de priorité :

	à l'époux (se) même séparé ou au (à la) partenaire d'un pacte civil de solidarité (PACS)
	à défaut aux enfants
	à défaut aux ascendants.

Le montant
Depuis le , il est égal à un montant forfaitaire fixé par décret et revalorisé chaque année. Au , ce montant est de 3 461 euros.

La pension de réversion

La pension de réversion versée par la Sécurité Sociale correspond à la part de la retraite qu'aurait touché la personne décédée qui revient à son conjoint.

Les conditions
Cette prestation est liée à la situation matrimoniale, à l'âge et aux ressources du conjoint survivant.

Pour y prétendre, il faut donc être conjoint ou ex-conjoint d'une personne touchant au moment de son décès une retraite de la Sécurité Sociale ou qui était susceptible de l'obtenir. Aucune pension n'est prévue pour les concubins et pacsés. Il faut également être âgé de 55 ans. Si le conjoint est décédé avant le , la limite d'âge est fixée à 51 ans pour le conjoint survivant.

La Sécurité Sociale prend en compte les ressources trimestrielles du conjoint survivant. Si celui-ci s'est remarié, pacsé ou mis en concubinage, ce sont les ressources du ménage qui seront prises en compte. En 2010, pour obtenir une pension de réversion le plafond trimestriel de ressources pour une personne seule était de 4 607,20 € et pour un ménage de 7 371,52 €.

Le montant
La pension est normalement égale à 54 % de la retraite de la Sécurité sociale que percevait ou aurait dû percevoir le conjoint décédé. Elle ne peut être inférieure à 266,15 € par mois, à condition que l'assuré décédé ait acquis au moins 60 trimestres d'assurance. Sinon, une réduction du montant minimum est appliqué.

La pension de réversion est susceptible d'être majorée en fonction des enfants. Si le conjoint survivant a eu ou élevé au moins trois enfants, sa pension est augmentée de 10 %.

À noter : Si au décès d'une personne, il y a plusieurs bénéficiaires possibles (un conjoint et un ex-conjoint par exemple, la pension de réversion est partagée entre eux au prorata de la durée de mariage).

L'allocation de veuvage

Les bénéficiaires
L'allocation veuvage est attribuée au conjoint survivant âgé de moins de 55 ans (51 ans si le conjoint est décédé avant le ). Elle est versée par la Caisse nationale d'assurance vieillesse (CNAV) sous condition de ressources, de résidence et de statut matrimonial.

Le montant
 Son montant mensuel est de 594, 41 € au .
 Elle peut être réduite en fonction de ses ressources.
 Elle est versée tant que le bénéficiaire remplit les conditions, et au maximum pendant les deux années qui suivent le décès.

Les prestations des institutions de retraite complémentaire
La retraite complémentaire des salariés AGIRC ARRCO prévoit un système de pension de réversion permettant à un conjoint survivant de bénéficier d'une partie des droits de la personne décédée.

Les conditions
La pension de réversion est réservée aux conjoints et ex-conjoints. Les concubins et pacsés n'en bénéficient pas. Il n'y a pas de conditions de ressources seulement une condition d'âge. Le conjoint survivant doit avoir 55 ans pour obtenir la pension de réversion de l'ARRCO et 60 ans pour obtenir celle de l'AGIRC. S'il existe un conjoint et un (des) ex-conjoint (s) survivant(s) la pension est partagée entre eux au prorata des années de mariage.

La pension de réversion est versée sans condition d'âge si le conjoint survivant a deux enfants à charge au moment du décès, même s'il n'existe aucun lien de parenté entre les enfants et la personne décédée.

Le montant
La pension de réversion est égale à 60 % de la retraite complémentaire que percevait ou aurait dû percevoir le conjoint décédé. Elle peut être majorée en fonction du nombre d'enfants à charge et/ou élevés.

Les prestations des organismes complémentaires

C'est principalement dans le cadre de contrat collectif de prévoyance que sont prévues des prestations en cas de décès : capital décès, rente de conjoint et/ou d'orphelin, rente d'éducation.

Le capital décès
Son montant correspond en général à un pourcentage du dernier salaire annuel de l'assuré décédé. Ce taux peut-être de 100 % ou plus. Le contrat prévoit souvent des garanties annexes comme le doublement en cas de décès accidentel, le doublement du capital en cas de décès du conjoint survivant, l'existence d'un capital en cas de décès d'un membre de la famille, des majorations pour enfant à charge voire une prise en charge des frais d'obsèques.

Le capital décès est versé à la ou aux personnes que l'assuré décédé avait préalablement désigné. Ce dispositif permet donc d'assurer un partenaire de PACS ou un concubin. En l'absence de désignation, le capital est versé en priorité au conjoint ou à défaut aux enfants, puis aux ascendants.

La rente de conjoint et d'orphelin
Cette rente peut prendre deux formes :
 une rente versée à vie (viagère) qui complète les droits effectivement acquis par le salarié avant son décès par ceux qu'il aurait dû obtenir au terme de sa carrière
 une rente temporaire ou rente relais versée dans l'attente de la pension de réversion des régimes de retraite complémentaire. Cette rente est fonction des droits réels acquis par le salarié.

Le contrat peut prévoir le cumul de ces deux rentes.

Le montant de ces rentes est calculé soit en fonction des droits de réversion acquis par l'assuré décédé auprès des régimes de retraite complémentaire AGIRC et ARRCO soit en fonction de son dernier salaire. La rente temporaire cesse d'être versée dès que le conjoint survivant bénéficie de ses droits à réversion auprès des régimes de base et complémentaires.
Les rentes de conjoint et d'orphelin sont versées au conjoint survivant non remarié. Si celui-ci décède, elles sont alors versées aux enfants à charge.

La rente d'éducation
Son objet est d'assurer une rente aux enfants à charge d'un salarié décédé. Son montant est généralement calculé en fonction du dernier salaire de l'assuré décédé auquel on applique un pourcentage qui peut varier en fonction de l'âge de(s) l'enfant(s). Elle est versée jusqu'à 26 ans en cas de poursuite d'étude et est servie à vie aux enfants invalides ou handicapés.

Le cas particulier des cadres
L'entreprise employant des cadres doit obligatoirement verser une cotisation minimale de 1,5 % du Plafond annuel de la Sécurité Sociale pour une garantie couvrant le risque décès (capital ou rente). Cette obligation a été fixée par l'article 7 de la convention collective nationale de retraite et de prévoyance des cadres du .

Agents Of SHEILD: How Davis Died (And In What Episode)
Agents Of SHIELD included a shocking death during season six, with Agent Davis meeting his end after an encounter with the villain Izel.
This is how Agent Davis died Agents of protectionand what episode happened. Secretary Gregg's Agent Coulson quickly became a fan favorite during Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having made his debut in 2008. Iron Man. Coulson came to be the human face of SHIELD, and audiences were understandably upset when the character was killed during the Avengers. His death was used to unite the titular superhero team during the third act, but it didn't take long for Coulson to resurrect for ABC. Agents of protection derived series.
How and why he was still alive was part of the mystery of SHEILD's Agents season one, and he soon became his own beast that only had tangential ties to the MCU movies. That being said, it did gain a loyal fanbase for its characters and storylines, eventually running for seven seasons before coming to an end in 2020. Recent MCU shows like Loki or WandaVision have much more explicit ties to their movie counterparts, but Agents of protection It has its unique niche within the franchise.
Related: Agents of SHIELD: Every MCU Movie Character That Appeared
A new character introduced to the series was Agent Davis, played by Max Osinski. Davis first appeared in SHIELD's Agents "Repairs", episode of the first season, and had a recurring role throughout the series. He and Agent Piper also formed a fun partnership, but that all came to an end with "Leap" from season 6. This season saw SHIELD's Agents The title characters meet Izel, a powerful being who also created the planet-killing Shrike parasites. In a key scene from "Leap," the agents attempt to stop Izel as she leaps from melee, possessing them, including Davis, whom she kills during a show of power.
On Agents of protection "Leap", Izel has infiltrated the base of the Lighthouse trying to find the Monoliths she is looking for. During the possession scene, she shows off her powers, including forcing Piper to shoot herself in the hand, before having Agent Davis walk over to a ledge and drop him while the others can't stop him. Davis is killed on impact, and Izel then possesses Mack and points a pistol at his head, warning the others not to follow him. It's quite a shocking scene, and one that further underscored the threat Izel posed.
Later, the team would take revenge on Izel, with Melinda May killing her in the Agents of protection season 6 finale. While Agent Davis died during "Leap", he was later brought back by Piper's request as a life model decoy in the season 7 finale "Why Are We Fighting".

He's written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times, and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU, where Hawkeye is clearly the best character, to the darkest cult gem in the world. film B, and its hot shots often require heat resistant gloves for handling. He's super modern too, which is why his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters, and Batman. He can be found as i_Padds on Twitter doing bad puns.

Q: Aurelia Authorization ASPNET Core So, I am starting a new Aurelia project running on AspNET Core 2.1 (Coming from DurandalJS)
simple question. if I cannot use controllers to serve my views (which seems to be almost impossible to do with webpack, Aurelia, ect), and my views are static HTML, how do I hide a simple button on a form if a user is not an admin?   (yes, I do know the Aurelia 'if' syntax). How does my client 'know' the users roles? Do we make a webapi call and get them? is that secure? now anyone 'watching' is aware of certain roles?
Should be simple right?  Obviously in my past project we rendered the view in cshtml and just did not "write" out the html based on role membership.
this does not need to be complicated, or rocket science. Just looking for a simple point in the right direction.


Singin' in the Rain is considered the "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time" by many musical theatre critics. This stage version is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals. A great feel good time will be had by all!
