This conserves the marginal enamel. * Penetration should be at limited axial depth (0.5 to 0.6mm). * The lingual outline blends with the incisal and gingival margins in a smooth curve creating a very little or no lingual wall. * Cavosurface angle should be 90` at all the margins. * The facial, incisal, gingival walls should meet the axial wall at approx. right angles. * The axial wall should be uniformly deep and flat. * A triangular wedge is placed in the gingival embrasure to depress and protect the soft tissues and the rubber dam. * The internal line angles should be slightly rounded. This permits more complete condensation of amalgam. * Smoothening of any roughened, undermined enamel produced at the gingival and facial Cavosurface margins is done. * The boxlike preparation form provides primary retention form. FINAL TOOTH PREPARATION * Remove any remaining infected carious dentin on the axial wall. * Secondary retention form is provided by a gingival groove, an incisal cove and sometimes a lingual dovetail. * Place the gingival groove starting from afg moving continuously upto alg. * The direction...

DESAI MASAKO EGAWA op yo The Continuing Transformation of Asahi Glass: Implementing EVA Toshiya Iwasaki, who founded our company in 1907, succeeded in Japan’s first commercial manufacturing of flat glass after numerous failures. He used to say, “Never take the easy way out, but confront difficulties.” He built the corporate culture to challenge the most difficult problems. — Shinya Ishizu, President and CEO Shinya Ishizu was in a difficult situation of his own devising. As president and CEO of Asahi Glass Company (AGC), he presided over a Japan-based multinational manufacturer of flat glass, chemicals, and electronics and displays, with annual sales of •1.3 trillion and the largest global market share in most of its product categories. Worldwide, AGC controlled a network of over 200 subsidiaries and affiliates in 25 countries, generating •52.4 billion in overseas operating profits in FY2003—sixth largest among all Japanese companies.1 (See Exhibit 1 for financial information and Exhibit 2 for AGC’s global presence.) tC After he was appointed president and CEO in 1998, Ishizu began implementing a number of drastic changes to the company’s structure and corporate culture in order to create a truly international enterprise. In 2002, he split AGC into four business units on a global basis which were dubbed “in-house companies” and appointed two non-Japanese executives to manage the glass business, which...

...Subjective Well‐Being and Income: Is There Any Evidence of Satiation?* Betsey Stevenson The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan & CESifo and NBER betseys@umich.edu www.nber.org/~bstevens Justin Wolfers Department of Economics & The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan & Brookings, CAMA, CEPR, CESifo, IZA and NBER jwolfers@umich.edu www.nber.org/~jwolfers ABSTRACT Many scholars have argued that once “basic needs” have been met, higher income is no longer associated with higher in subjective well-being. We assess the validity of this claim in comparisons of both rich and poor countries, and also of rich and poor people within a country. Analyzing multiple datasets, multiple definitions of “basic needs” and multiple questions about well-being, we find no support for this claim. The relationship between well-being and income is roughly linear-log and does not diminish as incomes rise. If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it. This draft: Keywords: JEL codes: April 16, 2013 Subjective well-being, happiness, satiation, basic needs, Easterlin paradox.

...(MTA) which is an association for takaful operators was set up in 2002 to further promote the development of takaful. Besides, the Malaysian International Islamic Finance Center (MIFC) was set up in 2006. Its purpose is to develop intermediary linkage to the global market place. In addition, in 2009, MIFC promoted the freeing of the takaful industry which saw the issuance of 4 new family takaful licenses in 2010. These new takaful players added significant value to Malaysia’s evolution of takaful. Takaful is now a core segment of Malaysia’s status as a worldwide Islamic Finance “hub”. It is part of an “end-to-end” Islamic Finance system. Today, Malaysia has 12 takaful operators, 9 Malaysian (M) and 3 foreign-owned (F) owned which are: AIA-AFG (F), ING Public (F), Great Eastern (F), AmFamily (M), Etiqa Takaful (M), CIMB Aviva (M), Hong Leong MSIG (M), HSBC Amanah (M), Prudential BSN (M), MAA Takaful (M), Takaful Iklas (M), and Syarikat Takaful (M) The takaful business carried on by the Malaysian takaful operators are broadly divided into family takaful business (Islamic "life" insurance) and general takaful business (Islamic general insurance). In Malaysia, family takaful is larger, but general takaful is gaining traction. Family takaful business In general, a family takaful plan is a long term policy for which most participant aim at saving for their long-term needs. It carried out the objectives which is: to save regularly over a fixed period of time; to earn investment returns...
