What does home mean to you? For 25-year-old artist Yoon Ji-hee, home is the only place in the world that embraces her. I ve been living on my own since leaving my parents home for university, Yoon told The Korea Times during an interview at the Alien Gallery in the National Assembly complex in Seoul, Tuesday. It has been tough living alone in a strange area away from my parents, and taking all the responsibilities on my own. I felt overwhelmed, especially in forming connections with new people, and thought I was bad at everything except drawing. But home was where I could truly be myself and find relaxation.

There are almost 600,000 U.S. 401(k) plans. These plans
collectively cover more than 100 million participants. They have
nearly $6 trillion in assets. Two principal laws governing
these plans, the Internal Revenue Code (the Code ) and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), set out a
series of rules that are mind-numbingly complex. In or about 2007,

sign of the trend abating. Plan sponsors have responded by focusing

WMO Hurricane Committee retires tropical cyclone names and ends use of Greek alphabet
Geneva, 17 March 2021 – The World Meteorological Organization’s Hurricane Committee has retired Dorian (2019) and Laura, Eta and Iota (2020) from the rotating lists of Atlantic tropical cyclone names because of the death and destruction they caused. It also decided that the Greek alphabet will not be used in future because it creates a distraction from the communication of hazard and storm warnings and is potentially confusing.
The Hurricane Committee, which serves North America, Central America and the Caribbean (WMO Regional Association IV), agreed to the changes in its naming convention at its virtual session from 15 to 17 March. The meeting reviewed the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic season and fine-tuned preparations for 2021, including the provision of forecasts and warnings, as well as impact assessments, for wind, storm surge and flooding hazards.
