For many of us, deciding to start on our health and wellness journey begins with a goal. We may find ourselves winded after climbing the stairs with groceries or receive an invitation to a 25th reunion. Something sparks inside us and says: “it’s time to get healthy” or “it’s time to lose weight.” This will be the motivation we need to take that first step. The idea has been planted in our heads and it’s time to make positive changes.
But how do you know if you’re setting a realistic goal for yourself? What’s the difference between declaring “I want to get healthy” and “I want do 45 minutes of cardio, three times of week”? And which approach will be more successful?
No matter if you’re setting a goal for business or fitness, success is most often achieved when goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Reasonable, and Timely. What does this actually mean?
Specific: “I want to get healthy” is not a specific goal. What does “healthy” mean to you? Is it reducing your bad cholesterol numbers? Maybe it means snacking less on unhealthy foods and bringing your lunch from home. Think about the one thing that you want to achieve and make it very specific and personal.
Measurable: How do you measure “healthy?” By having a number as a target, you can achieve your intentions. Quantifying your goals makes your achievement clear. Did you go to the gym four times this week? Did you perform six pull-ups? Were you able to climb three flights of stairs? Either you did it or you didn’t. There’s nothing in between.
Action-Oriented: If you want to “get healthy,” there’s no concrete set of action steps to adopt. How will you get healthy? Whether it’s writing down everything you eat in a journal or not bailing on your interval training class when you would rather crash, your actions have consequences. What actions will you take?
Reasonable: If you said your goal was to run a marathon by October and you had never participated in a 5 KM run before — I would say that your goal would be unreasonable. However, if you wanted to run a marathon in October, 2019, and you were prepared to commit to training five days a week for the next year, I would applaud your dedication and we would work on a plan. There’s nothing wrong with dreaming and imagining ourselves achieving (and even surpassing) our goals. But we all need a shot of reality.
Timely: By setting a time-frame to achieve your goal, you will be more motivated to stay on track. It gives us something to work towards and an actual framework to work within. This isn’t the mindset of “special occasion” weight loss (which we’ve previously discussed), but a logical, measurable length of time.
One of the joys of setting SMART goals is that you can fall in love with the process. It’s not about the quick fix but the longer journey. Instead of focusing on the “when,” it’s a concrete plan for “how.” By breaking down your goal into very specific parts, you can track your success.
Take a look at your goal — and then take it apart. Tweak and adjust it until it’s SMART and you can evaluate your progress every week in a clear way. Did you achieve everything you set out to do? If not, what needs to change? Minor adjustments will keep you focused and increase the probability of attaining what you are setting out to achieve.

A Web-based project called Mnemonic releases the first tangible results of a free, lightweight browser.
Netscape Communications (NSCP) isn't the only organization making its browser code free, as a Web-based project called Mnemonic has just released the first tangible results of a lightweight browser that can be downloaded and modified by anyone.
Mnemonic is part of a growing movement to provide browsing alternatives to giants Microsoft and Netscape, whose products dominate the market but frustrate some users with large footprints, interminable download times, and bugs.
The first version of the Mnemonic effort has already been released for developers to download and use, but it's far from becoming a general-use product. It's available only for Linux, a free Unix-based operating system and is still in the early stages of development.
The makers of Mnemonic want the browser to be modular--in other words, broken up into pieces so the system uses only what is absolutely necessary for the task at hand. That approach results in a core application of about 100K, according to the project leaders.
The browser-only Navigator 4.04 is about 8MB, and the smallest version of Internet Explorer 4.01 is about 13MB. Much smaller is another alternate browser, Opera, which has made a name for itself among Net users with its speed and small size--about 1 MB.
Mnemonic's modular design also allows developers to take its pieces and put them into other types of applications, such as a word processor or presentation graphics.
Such component-based development is catching on elsewhere. For example, Microsoft has spread the use of its IE browser by making the underlying HTML engine available to third parties to put into applications.
When users of America Online or Intuit's Quicken financial software jump to the Web, they use Internet Explorer technology. Microsoft may share the components of IE, but it does not make the source code available, arguing that developers prefer a prebuilt component to plug into their applications.
The idea behind the Mnemonic project, as well as Netscape's decision to make the source code for Communicator free, takes the sharing several steps further. By publishing source code--the raw recipe at the heart of the browser--the organizations hope to involve the at-large Net community in the development process.
The general principle is that anyone can use the source code, or underlying recipe, of the browser with the agreement that any modifications to it will in turn be released to the public for reuse. Netscape will release its code March 31 and has already set up a Web site for developers to download code, share information, and get advice.
Neither Netscape nor Mnemonic have decided whether developers that make commercial products with the source code will be required to submit their code back to the development community. Such a requirement makes the source-code scheme less attractive to commercial developers, who often see their augmentations of code as a competitive advantage.
Some free source code projects, such as the Apache Web server, allow developers to keep their extensions as their own.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS has established an exciting artist-in-residency program that focuses on links between art and science. It is also integrating pupils into this experiment. Educators have been aware of the need to promote the STEM subjects Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics for decades now, and measures have been prescribed for elementary school classroom instruction in order to ensure an early start and pave the way to an innovative society.
In the meantime, the acronym has acquired an additional letter. The “A” that now makes STEAM stands for Arts. Accordingly, Fraunhofer MEVIS has launched STEAM Imaging, which gives an artist the opportunity to spend a residency of several weeks working closely together with staff researchers at Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen, Germany, and co-developed and held a STEAM workshop for pupils. Then, she spent several weeks at Ars Electronica, Linz, which hosted another STEAM workshop. The artistic outcome of these encounters was presented at Ars Electronica Festival, September 2017 in Linz within the framework of the European Digital Art and Science Network.
Yen Tzu Chang (TW), the recipient of the residency STEAM Imaging, jointly hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing (MEVIS) and Ars Electronica, had the unique opportunity to work closely together with the Institute’s research staff. The Taiwanese media artist, whose previous works have included experimental sound performances, specializes in creating customized electronic instruments. Yen Tzu Chang also agreed, together with the scientists, to lead workshops for pupils in the 7th to 9th grades in Bremen and Linz in cooperation with the International Fraunhofer Talent School Bremen in March and June 2017. Following her residency, the outcome of this encounter of art and science in the field of medical imaging, Whose scalpel, was featured at Ars Electronica Festival ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – The Other I in September 2017.
Yen Tzu Chang (TW) is a Taiwanese media artist who has lived and studied in Linz, Austria since 2014. She has a BA from the new media art department at Taipei National University of Art. Since 2011, she has been working in various fields, including interdisciplinary art and experimental performances based on sound installation. Her early works were audio-visual and installation mixed with video art. One kind of language… was like a science video about an incredibly long millipede walking through two screens. She gradually became interested in making installations, which combine her experience on stage. She began to develop her own electronic instruments. The Time Travel and Self-luminous series are the most successful light installations in her art career.
The STEAM Imaging project was originally developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS during 2016 in collaboration with SPACE (London).
Whose scalpel is a sound performance combined with visual and 3D printed installation, realized with an application framework for medical image processing. Mixing several methods from art and science, it is an imagination of the future and presents the issues of the relationship between human and machine during heart surgery. The concept is developed from three different areas—the application of sound in medical science, coronary artery bypass surgery, and machine learning. The background story of the performance is based on the assumption that in the near future a surgeon works with the machine that can give advice during surgery. Sound is chosen as the media of the performance because it helps to create a scene and atmosphere. On the other hand, sound plays an important role in medicine. For instance, it is well known that the heart pumps blood through the whole human body with a regular frequency, which can be used to help diagnosis. Another famous application of sound in medicine is the stethoscope, which was invented in the 19th century for auscultation and allows listening to the internal sound of organs in the chest such as lungs and heart. Another state of the art example is the video from the Fraunhofer MEVIS YouTube channel, Auditory guidance prototype for navigated liver surgery1. The video shows that if the scalpel deviates from the correct cutting path, the device will make a different sound to notify the surgeon.
The heart as one of the most important human organs—both from the perspective of biology or symbolism in the society is the focus of the surgery. The heart is an installation, which is built according to the performer’s real heart from MRI scans, but is larger than its actual size. It is printed out by a 3D printer and surrounded by aluminum structures. To make the heart installation like a musical instrument, the inner part of it is equipped with Arduino, LED, and electronic components and the surface is covered with silicon and transparent vessels. It is designed to interact when the performer plugs in audio cables and bridges connections, similar to the method of coronary artery bypass surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery is a type of heart surgery used for treating coronary artery disease, caused by the inner wall of arteries becoming blocked by fat. To supply enough oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, the doctor takes the blood vessels (or grafts) from the patient's leg, chest, or wrist and places it above and below the end of the blocked area so that the blood can go through the new grafts to reach the heart muscle.2 This method enables blood to flow through the new path, and it is a similar approach with operating a modular synthesizer to some extent, which is about letting the signal go through one modular to the other to produce the sound. In the heart installation, plugging in the cables, as a similar act, triggers the sound from Pure Data.
In the performance, an artistically imagined AI will be in charge of more important medical tasks such as analyzing the patient’s body condition and giving doctors suggestions with sound and visuals in future surgery. The storyline is led by the sound and the mixed video of medical images and live performance from the webcam. The goal of the performer as a surgeon during surgery is to cure the heart, which symbolizes human consciousness and faith. The AI, which is regarded as a perfect model, gives instruction to the performer. Maybe the question “If machines can reason even better than humans, will we as humans lose some abilities and not even believe ourselves anymore?” is worth thinking about since the issue is already present.

An interview with Ms Cammy Man featuring her advice on legal writing as a trainee solicitor.
What are the main challenges that students encounter in legal writing?
One of the major challenges would be we have to keep the words to the word limit imposed by the professors. So, that is a really big challenge because after reading lots of materials, we have a lot of ideas that we’d like to put down or include in the passage. However, the space is limited. We have to keep the presentation or the expressions short and simple while at the same time we do not cut the content as well.
What advice do you have for students who are learning legal writing?
In terms of content, I would advise students to read more materials before they jump to start writing their articles because when you have more materials, you get to know better what is the focus or what is the information that’s very important in writing in that aspect. And after reading those materials, it’s very important to get it structured and organized, so that when you write it, you know where to put those information in. And also, at the same time, after start writing those paragraphs, it’s very important to start editing them, so that you know what expressions would be better to present that idea because at the time when you write it, you may not be very mindful of what expressions you use while you write them, so we should also spare enough time after writing the articles to edit them as well.
What should students pay attention to in their writing?
I think there is a tendency that students usually pick the easiest way to write an article. For example, there is a mainstream in writing the articles informing that view, so it’s easier for students to find more supporting authorities to write in that stance. However, I would recommend students to read a wider variety of articles, so that they can know what are the conflicting views of other scholars. So not only can they more enhance their legal knowledge, but at the same time when they write it, they learn to write how to address those conflicting comments and how to find other scholar views to support them to oppose to those conflicting views.
What can students do to write better?
One way to learn to write better would be for students to treat every task they do and every assessment or assignment they do seriously, so after they write the article or the assignment, they can get their teachers to mark it and they can seek advice as to how they can improve further. Because usually students would think, ‘It’s okay, after I hand it in, I can get a mark or I can pass it anyway’, but it’s more important to treat the task more seriously, so that we can get teachers’ feedback which is very constructive, so that we can improve further next time.

Negotiations are like marriages. It’s fairly simple to get in but you never know how they will end, until it’s too late to do anything about it.
After a German court dismissed Madrid’s accusations of rebellion against former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, pressure has been mounting on the Spanish government to negotiate with its Catalan counterparts.
It’s not yet clear whether Spain will ever accept to engage in such talks, but a number of international mediators have been nonetheless proposed. Should they ever be given the job, they should be well aware of the pitfalls. Mediating on Catalonia is not as simple as it may seem.
For many outside observers, the situation is an easy puzzle to be solved. Just give Catalans more autonomy in exchange for renouncing their efforts to achieve independence. But that would be a gross mistake. Autonomy is not the solution; it’s part of the problem.
The 1978 Spanish constitution already granted Catalonia a considerable degree of administrative and political autonomy. At the same time, however, it defined Spain as a unitary entity to be ruled from Madrid, with central powers remaining in full control of the key levers of the state.
Giving more of this same autonomy to Catalonia will only exacerbate the tensions.
This contradiction has resulted in a 40-year tug of war between recentralizing and decentralizing political forces that has rendered the whole constitutional system inoperative and has finally erupted in the recent Catalan crisis. Giving more of this same autonomy to Catalonia will only exacerbate the tensions.
Most political parties in Spain, both right and left, are strongly attached to the centuries-old project of building a centralized unitary state mirrored on France. Any concessions obtained by Catalonia would be perceived as an intolerable step in the wrong direction. Thanks to the support of a demographic majority in the country, these parties would be able to block or neutralize any advance in autonomy that Catalans are able to extract on paper.
At the same time, an increase in administrative or financial autonomy is not going to satisfy a majority of Catalans. Many would feel bitterly disappointed that their struggle has brought them back to the same cage they were trying to escape from. They would perceive Spain’s concessions as insubstantial, as long as the central state and the largely hostile demographic majority it represents remain in control.
And so, the tug of war would continue. In a few years, Europe would face yet another Catalan crisis, this time made worse by the resentment and frustration accumulated on both sides.
To solve the Catalan conundrum, mediators need to steer away from quick fixes. A stable agreement will require both parties to lose. What is important is that these defeats are acceptable for a majority of the population in both Catalonia and the whole of Spain.
What would such an agreement look like?
In my opinion, Spain will have to accept that Catalonia has a right to self-determination, while Catalonia will have to accept that such a right will require a reinforced majority of at least 55 percent in a referendum to be effectively exercised.
Mediators will need to pressure both parties to accept an agreement on this crucial point. This would break the ruling principle of a unitary Spain, but would allow the territorial integrity of the Spanish state to be preserved. Spanish and Catalan nationalists would be left licking their wounds. But both sides would have to start to work on setting up federal or confederal institutions that can articulate in practice the new arrangement of the state.
This will be no simple task. Its success will hinge on many details. And a potential mediator will have to ensure that all parties involved keep negotiating in good faith, something that should never be taken for granted.
Without negotiations, we will likely witness a growing spiral of repression and resistance.
But eventually, it should be possible to come up with a constitutional arrangement that puts an end to the tug of war by sharing the powers of the state instead of concentrating them at the center. Most Catalans would be comfortable with a solution that recognizes them as a relevant political subject and prevents the central state from interfering with their self-rule. And a majority of Spaniards could also support this solution, as long as it guarantees interregional fiscal flows and makes the departure of Catalonia a sufficiently unlikely scenario.
The international mediators could then pat themselves on the back and go home with the satisfaction of a job well done.
If that sounds too rosy, it probably is. As in all tales of marriage, many things can go wrong at every turn. For starters, it is unlikely that Spain will accept to share sovereignty among its constituent parts unless forced to do so.
But the alternative is surely less appealing for almost everyone. Without negotiations, we will likely witness a growing spiral of repression and resistance, which can only lead to instability, deadlock, breakup, and violent confrontation. In the end, international mediators might have to refashion themselves as peacekeepers, charged with the administration of a two-state solution.
That might seem farfetched. But history shows us how tenuous, almost invisible, the line is between words and wars. Political negotiation is the only instrument we have to avoid these dangerous slopes. And mediation becomes indispensable when parties are unable or unwilling to solve their disagreements on their own.
Europe has finally woken up to the need to step in to help solve the conflict between Spain and Catalonia. That’s good news; not only for Spain, but for the whole European project. But any attempt to mediate must be undertaken in full awareness of the complexities and the challenges ahead. At this point, a bad agreement could be worse than outright divorce.

Harold Stern, New York City, for petitioners.
Lawrence G. Wallace, for respondent.
Section 64a(2) of the Bankruptcy Act, 30 Stat. 563, 11 U.S.C. § 104(a)(2), grants priority over the claims of other creditors to 'wages * * * due to workmen, * * *' the priority being limited to $600 and to wages earned within three months before the commencement of the proceedings.1 The question before us is whether priority under § 64a(2) must be accorded to an employer's unpaid contributions to an employees' annuity plan established by a collective bargaining contract. The referee and the District Court denied the priority and the Court of Appeals affirmed. In re A & § Electric Corp., 379 F.2d 211 (C.A.2d Cir. 1967). We granted certiorari, sub nom. Joint Industry Board of Electrical Industry v. United States, 389 U.S. 969, 88 S.Ct. 474, 19 L.Ed.2d 459 (1967). We affirm the judgment.
The Annuity Plan of the Electrical Industry in New York City was established by a collective bargaining agreement between Local Union No. 3, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL CIO, and four associations of electrical contractors. The plan covers all employees in the bargaining unit represented by the union and is funded by employer contributions of 'Four Dollars ($4.00) per day for each day worked or each holiday for which payment is received by his employees * * *.' Payments are made to trustees who are empowered to collect and administer the contributions under the provisions of the plan. These trustees are the petitioners here. Contributions received by the trustees are credited to the account of the individual employees but are 'payable to him only as hereinafter provided,' namely, upon death, retirement from the industry at age 60, permanent disability, entry into the Armed Forces, or ceasing to be a participant under the plan. Death benefits are paid only out of income, if available, and other benefits, though they may be payable in installments, will at a minimum return to the employee the total of the contributions credited to his name, without interest.
A & § Electric Corporation, an employer liable for contributions to the annuity plan, was adjudicated a bankrupt in 1963. The Joint Industry Board filed a claim which included $5,114 representing payments under the plan which fell due but were unpaid during the three months prior to the commencement of the proceedings. Priority for this amount was asserted under § 64a(2). The United States, with a fourth-class priority claim for unpaid taxes, objected to the allowance of the Joint Board's priority claim. The referee and the courts agreed with the United States, holding that payments due to the Joint Board were not wages due to workmen, relying for this conclusion principally upon United States v. Embassy Restaurant, Inc., 359 U.S. 29, 79 S.Ct. 554, 3 L.Ed.2d 601 (1959).
We agree that Embassy Restaurant controls this case. There the claim was for unpaid employer contributions to a welfare fund, the contributions being $8 per month for each full-time employee; the fund provided life insurance, weekly sick benefits, hospital and surgical payments, and other advantages for covered employees. That claim, the Court held, was not entitled to § 64a(2) priority because payments to such a welfare fund did not satisfy the manifest purpose of the priority, which was 'to enable employees displaced by bankruptcy to secure, with some promptness, the money directly due to them in back wages, and thus to alleviate in some degree the hardship that unemployment usually brings to workers and their families.' 359 U.S., at 32, 79 S.Ct., at 556.2 The contributions involved there were payable to trustees, not to employees, and were disbursable to employees only on the occurrence of certain events, not including the bankruptcy of the employer. Neither the contributions nor the plan provided any immediate support for workmen during the period of financial distress.
The case before us concerns employer contributions to the welfare fund which are similarly not due the employees and never were; they were payable only to the trustees, who had the exclusive right to hold and manage the fund. Though the contribution were credited to individual employee accounts, nothing was payable to employees except upon the occurrence of certain events. Until death, retirement after age 60, permanent disability, entry into military service, or cessation of participation under the plan, no benefits were payable. Further, as the referee pointed out, the employee could not assign, pledge, or borrow against the contributions, or otherwise use them as his own.3 Quite obviously the annuity fund was not intended to relieve the distress of temporary unemployment, whether arising from the bankruptcy of the employer or for some other reason. Hence, if Embassy Restaurant is to be followed, the unpaid contributions in this case do not satisfy the fundamental purpose of the § 64a(2) priority for wages due to workmen.
Despite the general policy of the Bankruptcy Act to distribute assets of the estate equally to creditors, the priorities established in § 64a give priority to wages due workmen up to $600 if earned within three months prior to bankruptcy. Other unpaid wages are allowable as general claims but are not entitled to priority. If delinquent contributions to welfare and annuity funds providing deferred benefits to employees were to have equal priority with wages payable directly to employees, the maximum payable immediately and directly to employees would be reduced whenever individual wage claims approached $600 or whenever the assets of the estate would not permit all wage claims to be paid in full. Also, increasing the amounts payable to second priority creditors would reduce the assets available for distribution to lower priority claimants and general creditors, including wage claimants not entitled to priority.7 Embassy Restaurant was decided nine years ago. If there is still any question as to whether claims for unpaid contributions to provide deferred benefits to employees should share the assets of bankrupts with general creditors or should be entitled to the limited priority granted wages due to workmen, any new resolution of that question should come from Congress.
Mr. Justice FORTAS, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice BRENNAN join, dissenting.
I do not agree that United States v. Embassy Restaurant, Inc., 359 U.S. 29, 79 S.Ct. 554, 3 L.Ed.2d 601 (1959), controls this case. I believe the employer's unpaid contributions to the employees' annuity plan are 'wages * * * due to workmen' within § 64a(2) of the Bankruptcy Act. Those contributions accrued and unpaid within three months before the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings are entitled to the statutory priority.
In this case, the employees and the employer agreed, in a collective bargaining agreement, that the employer would compensate each employee with stipulated wages and, additionally, $4 per day 'for each day worked or each holiday * * *.' The latter sum, instead of being paid directly to the employees, was remitted to trustees of an annuity plan. In the accounts of the plan, the sum remitted for each employee, and measured by his days of work, was credited to that employee. The employee was entitled to receive the sum credited to his account upon retirement from the industry at age 60, death, permanent disability, entrance into the Armed Forces, or ceasing to be a participant under the plan by leaving the electrical industry or by accepting employment with some electrical company that is not covered by the collective bargaining agreement.
It is unmistakably clear (1) that the sums in question were to be paid as part of the wage bargain between employer and employee; (2) that the sum due each employee was specifically related to and measured by his work; (3) that the sum which each employee earned was accounted for separately and individually; he was entitled to the amount paid to the trustee on account of his individual labor; and (4) that inevitably, as sure as death, there was to come a point of time when the sum remitted to the trustee on account of each individual's work would be paid to that individual or his heirs.
In my judgment, it is impossible to distinguish, on the basis of the purpose of the priority provisions of the Bankruptcy Act, between these payments to the annuity plan and direct payments to the employee for his labors. The Court, however, holds that payments to the plan do not satisfy the 'manifest purpose of the priority,' as that purpose was explained in Embassy Restaurant. This purpose, the Court says, was to enable employees, upon the bankruptcy of their employer, promptly to secure money directly due them in back wages and thereby to alleviate the hardship that unemployment brings. Embassy Restaurant demonstrates, the Court says, that since the contributions to the annuity plan were not immediately payable to the employees upon bankruptcy, they do not fall within the definition of 'wages' for priority purposes.
But the present case is materially different from Embassy Restaurant. In that case, the employee was never entitled to receive the sums which were paid into the fund on account of his labor. These sums and the sums paid by the employer for all other employees were used to provide life insurance, sick benefits, hospital and surgical payments, and other benefits. An employee was never entitled to demand and receive payment of sums that he had earned. These sums were not credited to him to be paid upon his death or retirement or other contingencies.
In a dissenting opinion in that case, Mr. Justice Black (joined by The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Douglas) argued that the majority misconceived the nature of the payments into the fund in Embassy Restaurant and the purpose of the priority for wages. But we need not quarrel with the Court's conclusions in Embassy Restaurant, for purposes of the present case. Here, it is entirely clear that the sums paid and payable into the fund were payable to the individual employee. They were his. They were part of his wages. Only the time of receipt was deferred until retirement at age 60, separation from the industry, death, etc.
There is nothing whatever in § 64 to indicate, as the Court would have us believe, that 'wages' lose their priority position if they are not immediately payable upon the event of bankruptcy. There is no basis whatever, except this Court's ipse dixit in this case, to say that the priority is available only to provide 'immediate support for workmen during the period of financial distress.' Embassy Restaurant is not authority for this. Embassy Restaurant is authority for the proposition that when the 'wages' are never payable to the employee, but benefit him only through providing life insurance or various types of services, the priority is not applicable. That is not the present case.
The Court's decision in this case, in my opinion, deprives the workers here concerned of the protection which congress accorded their claims. We should reverse the judgment below.
The cases in the lower courts are in agreement as to the purpose of § 64a(2). See 3 Collier on Bankruptcy, 64.201, at 2112, nn. 7—9 and related text (14th ed., 1967).
It seems agreed in this case that the employer contributions to the fund are not taxable to the employee at the time they are made, but only when later received as benefits.
The history of § 64a(2) is dealt with in both the majority and dissenting opinions in United States v. Embassy Restaurant, Inc., 359 U.S. 29, 79 S.Ct. 554, 3 L.Ed.2d 601 (1959). For a more complete consideration see 3 Collier on Bankruptcy 64.01, 64.201 (14th ed., 1967).
Act of November 28, 81 Stat. 511.
H.R. 2076, 90th Cong., 1st Sess. (1967); H.R. 991, 89th Cong., 1st Sess. (1965); H.R. 1784, 88th Cong., 1st Sess. (1963); H.R. 66, 88th Cong., 1st Sess. (1963); H.R. 2274, 87th Cong., 1st Sess. (1961); and H.R. 9831, 86th Cong., 2d Sess. (1960).
It is instructive that workmen's compensation claims were not provable in bankruptcy until 1934, when they were given a seventh priority. In 1938 the priority for compensation claims was abolished. Moreover, taxes and Social Security contributions which are withheld from wages are entitled to a fourth priority as taxes rather than a second priority as wages.
See ante, at 227, n. 2.
Even if I were to accept the majority's definition of the purpose of the 'wages' priority, I still could not agree with the decision to affirm. For the majority indulges in a major, unexplained, assumption with which I do not agree: the majority assumes, without any basis that I can find in the record or anywhere else, that upon the bankruptcy of an employer an employee is likely to suffer the hardship of unemployment yet unlikely to suffer the hardship of accepting a job outside the electrical industry or with an employer who is not covered by the collective bargaining contract and annuity plan. Of course, if an employee does choose, upon the bankruptcy of his employer, to seek work with an employer not covered by the contract, he ceases to participate in the annuity plan and may, under the terms of that plan, claim the monies that have accrued in his account. In this plausible and, I would suspect, common situation, the employee receives his annuity account 'immediately' after the bankruptcy. I see no significant difference—and certainly the majority suggests none—between payments that may alleviate the hardship of unemployment caused by bankruptcy and payments that may alleviate the hardship of unattractive employment after a discharge caused by bankruptcy.

A credit report, also known as a credit history, includes information on an individual’s or company’s financial borrowing and repaying history. This includes any late payments and bankruptcy filings. Credit report / credit history information is held at a credit bureau and is used by lenders (ex: credit card companies) to determine an individual’s credit worthiness. Credit worthiness is an individual’s track record of debt repayments and takes into consideration one’s willingness to repay a debt and the timeliness of past payments. There are three nationwide credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each of these credit bureaus collects financial data from employers, creditors, public records, and landlords.
Negative, or derogatory, information usually stays on your credit report for 7 years, including foreclosure and student loan information. Bankruptcies can appear on your credit report for 10 years and unpaid tax liens can remain on your credit report for up to 15 years. Inquiries from potential creditors stay on your credit report for 2 years, and too many inquiries can be viewed as negative. Even derogatory information more than 7 years old can appear in a report for a job that pays $75,000 or more annually if you apply for a loan or life insurance.
It’s important to note that credit reports do not include information including race, color, religion, gender, assets, or occupation. Personal information regarding medical conditions is also not included on credit reports, however unpaid medical bills or medical payments can be disclosed.
Credit scores, or FICO scores, range from 300 – 850.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that was designed to protect the integrity and privacy of individual credit information. The FCRA imposes rules on how credit reporting agencies can report individual information. Our experienced lawyers can help advise you on what do do if a CRA or a creditor violates your rights under the FCRA.
