Borrowing to cover unexpected bills can be the start of a financial hole that’s difficult to come out of. Having an emergency fund set aside for this unexpected circumstance can save you from creating a hole.

An emergency fund is money saved aside for unanticipated expenses in life, such as auto repairs, hospital visits, and even job loss. This money offers you the authority to pay over funds to cover huge and little surprises that may arise.

These economic challenges can happen to anyone but how would you be able to scale out of the situation if it came out of a reduction in salary or unemployment? Or an unexpected circumstance that happens out of the blue?

Even during the prosperous decade of the 1990s, many people failed to put away enough money for rainy days. In this article, we will look at the importance of emergency funds and how to build an emergency fund. 

Winfield Scott: First Commanding General of the Union Army

Winfield Scott: First Commanding General of the Union Army

Who was early 19th century America’s greatest general? Some may say the generals who eventually became presidents like William Henry Harrison or Zachary Taylor, but both men have their issues: Harrison died a month into his presidency while Taylor was part of President James K. Polk’s plan to “possibly” spark a war with Mexico. In the early 19th century, America’s greatest general was central to many major conflicts; it was this experience that made him the first commanding general of Union forces. However, he only held the job for six months, ultimately leaving the post due to his age. If we’re to understand how one man—Winfield Scott—became so influential, we must examine his life.

The concept of "living" is a multifaceted topic that has intrigued scholars in the field of social sciences, prompting reflections on the intricate relationship between nature, culture, and human society. Diverse perspectives exist on the concept of "living," ranging from the anthropological emphasis on movement to geographical considerations of space as repositories of historical social issues. Sociologists delve into how individuals appropriate and occupy space in ways that vary across social classes, shedding light on how social differences manifest in physical spaces. This article explores Latin American living, with a focus on Argentina (the outskirts of Buenos Aires) and Guatemala City, two culturally diverse and unequal regions where social and cultural differences are reflected in urban spaces. Security is a paramount concern in Latin American cities, where high crime rates and violence have led residents, particularly the middle and upper classes, to adopt various strategies to prioritize security and privacy in their urban living arrangements.

The onset of COVID-19 profoundly impacted the world, and its effects are still palpable today. With some regions not having fully bounced back from the spiral effect of the virus, the recovery has been slow. The lockdown affected economic activities, strained our finances, and challenged the government to help people out of their financial misery. Due to the pandemic, the projected global economic growth in advanced economies is expected to slow down to 0.5% in 2023 from 2.5% in 2022, while emerging economies are expected to decline to 2.7% in 2023 from 3.4% in 2022.

Medical Error as a Public Health Problem

Medical Error as a Public Health Problem

Medical error seems ironic, almost an oxymoron. How is it possible – nay, even imaginable – that healthcare providers with a minimum of eleven years of postsecondary education in the health sciences commit mistakes in the course of life-saving ministrations? And yet, it has happened enough that in 1999, the Institute of Medicine released a report showcasing the data on this topic: at that time, 44,000 – 98,000 people per year died from medical error. According to a 2016 British Medical Journal report, more than 250,000 people each year died from medical error. The researchers for this report calculated this figure from the studies reported since 1999 and extrapolated to the total number of U.S. hospital admissions in 2013 (Makary and Daniel, 2016). While these numbers seem small (by comparison, the United States had a population of 323 million in 2016), keep in mind that these are deaths occurring at the hands of highly trained professionals. Suffice it to say that one death from medical error is too many, doubtless 250,000 per year.
