高丹尼 (Dan Koh) 將出任白宮內閣副秘書

            (Boston Orange 編譯) 波士頓市前市長，現任美國勞工部部長馬丁華殊 (Martin J. Walsh)的幕僚長高丹尼 (Dan Koh) ，將出任美國總統拜登 (Joe Biden)內閣的副秘書 (deputy cabinet   secretary) ，作為白宮與內閣成員之間的聯繫人。

波士頓環球報今 (19) 早報導，這消息來自一名白宮官員。

高丹尼(Dan Koh)現年37歲，在2014到2017年間是馬丁華殊擔任波士頓市市長時的幕僚長，2018年曾參選國會議員，2021年2月馬丁華殊到華府出任勞工部部長後，又再出任馬丁華殊的幕僚長。

高丹尼(Dan Koh)將取代5月離職的Cristóbal Alex，向白宮內閣秘書暨內閣事務辦公室主管Evan Ryan匯報工作。他的職責包括確保馬丁華殊及其他的拜登內閣成員獲悉白宮決策，並協助他們為內閣會議做準備。

高丹尼(Dan Koh)在一份聲明中表示，他很榮幸能夠繼續在拜登/哈里斯政府工作，並期待著和Evan Ryan及其團隊合作，繼續更好的重建並團結美國。他還說永遠感謝馬丁華殊部長及勞工部的同事們，從他們那兒學到領導力，得到友誼。

高丹尼 (Dan Koh)當年住在麻州安多福鎮，畢業於哈佛大學商學院，2018年時從波士頓市政府離任，參選轄區包括羅爾市 (Lowell)、Lawrence市，以及費奇堡市的第三區國會議員，但在民主黨初選中以微小差距輸了給Lori Trahan。2019年，他當選為安多福鎮鎮議員，2020年還再度和Lori Trahan競爭。

在加入勞工部之前，Dan Koh是波士頓市軟體公司HqO的營運長，去年人們還提到他的名字，把它列為麻州副州長的可能人選。

從2018年就開始和馬丁華殊共事的Dan Koh上任勞部部部長幕僚長後，在馬丁華殊因公出訪的許多行程中，都隨行在側，其中包括做為美國代表團成員之一，出席南韓總統尹錫悅(Yoon Suk Yeol)的就職典禮。

                     高丹尼(Dan Koh)在推特上表示自己是一名很驕傲的韓國-黎巴嫩裔美國人。他的家族富有政治淵源，外祖父是1960年代的韓國駐美副大使，父親高京柱 (Howard Koh)曾任麻州公共衛生廳廳長，以及奧巴馬政府時期的美國健康及人民服務部主管健康的助理部長，他的叔叔Harold Koh是希拉蕊 (Hillary Clinton)當任美國國務卿時的法律顧問。

波士頓華商會會長蔡倩婷表示，新冠病毒疫情對華埠商家，尤其是餐館業者的打擊甚大，該會因此策畫了這一系列表演，希望藉著在華埠牌樓前，綠路上的陳毓禮及黃杏蓉公園安排活動，把人潮帶進華埠消費，興旺地方商機。

              這系列的第一場活動，是7月10日由昆士市耆英團體演出粵曲。

Due to the rising COVID-19 case count, the use of masks in cooling centers is strongly recommended. Additionally, more than 50 splash pads will be open at parks and playgrounds throughout the City. Select indoor BCYF pools are open and the outdoor BCYF Mirabella Pool is open Wednesday through Sunday. Registration for a time to swim can be found at this link.   The City of Boston is taking critical immediate action to provide heat relief, including short-term, actionable steps toward relief during heat waves. The City of Boston has been engaging in a variety of catalytic projects to support extreme heat mitigation and improved health for residents. This includes the distribution of pop-up cooling kits with a hose, misters, and a tent to community organizations that have public events this summer. The cooling kits will be distributed over the coming weeks.    The Boston Public Schools is encouraging students and their families to prepare for hot weather this week by staying well hydrated and dressing appropriately. Families are welcome to send their children to their respective summer programs, which will provide students with water and meals. Additionally, the majority of summer sites are equipped with air conditioning and fans will be delivered to sites in need of cooling.    Information on heat safety tips can be found online at boston.gov/heat and by following @CityofBoston on Twitter. Residents can sign up for AlertBoston, the City's emergency notification system, to receive emergency alerts by phone, email or text. Sign up online here. Residents are also encouraged to call 311 with any questions about available City services.   The Mayor issued the following heat safety tips for all members of the public: ·       Children and pets should never be left alone in vehicles, even for short periods of time. ·       Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of activity level. Avoid alcoholic beverages and liquids high in sugar or caffeine. ·       Keep cool with frequent cool showers, shade, and air conditioning or fans.  ·       Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Rest often in shady areas and be extra cautious from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., when the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation is strongest. ·       Know the signs of heat exhaustion. Heavy sweating, cool and clammy skin, dizziness, nausea, and muscle aches could all be signs of heat exhaustion. If symptoms persist, call 911 immediately. Do not delay care. Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the U.S. and can exacerbate underlying illnesses. ·       Adults and children should use sunscreen containing an SPF-30 or higher and wear protective, loose-fitting clothing including long sleeve shirts and hats. ·       If you have a child in your home, use child window guards in addition to screens on any open window on the second story or above. Falls are the leading cause of injury for children under the age of six.  ·       Secure all window air conditioner units according to the manufacturer's specifications. ·       If you are heading to a beach, lake, or pool to beat the heat, swim where lifeguards are present. Always watch children near the water and make sure they’re wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. ·       Please call or check on neighbors, especially older adults and people with disabilities. ·       Please keep pets indoors, hydrated, and cool as asphalt and ground conditions are significantly hotter and unsafe during heat.   Helping Individuals Experiencing Homelessness: ·       If you see individuals out in the heat who appear immobile or disoriented, please ask them if they need assistance and call 911 immediately. ·       The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) operates emergency shelters at 112 Southampton St. and 794 Massachusetts Ave. These facilities are air conditioned and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Amnesty has been called because of extremely high temperatures so those with non-violent restrictions can access shelter out of the heat.  ·       The City of Boston works closely with a network of shelter providers to ensure there is adequate shelter, food, water, and a cool respite from the heat. ·       Street outreach teams providing recovery services remain operating as normal during summertime weather. ·       The Engagement Center will be open to provide a cooling space.   Playground Safety:   ·       Shoes should be worn outdoors, including playgrounds and turf athletic fields, as surfaces can become extremely hot and cause burns, even on splash pads and spray decks.   Outdoor Fires and Grilling: ·       No outdoor fires are allowed in Boston, including fire pits, chimineas, and bonfires. ·       Charcoal grills must be on the ground and away from buildings. Keep in mind the wind and never leave grills unattended. Dispose of the ash in a metal container once completely out. ·       Propane tank grills are only allowed on first floor porches with steps to the ground. Do not place propane tank grills near air conditioners or up against a building. Make sure all connections are tight and never carry propane tanks into a home. ·       Grills should always be used in a well-ventilated area.   Mayor Wu recently announced Heat Resilience Solutions for Boston, a citywide framework to prepare Boston for hotter summers and more intense heat events. The Heat Plan presents 26 strategies that will help build a more just, equitable, and resilient Boston. To support the implementation of the Heat Plan, the City will launch the Boston Extreme Temperatures Response Task Force, which will help deliver a unified, all-of-government response to address chronic high temperature conditions and prepare the city in advance of extreme heat events. The Task Force’s work will be supported by the Environment Department, the Office of Emergency Management, and the Boston Public Health Commission’s Office of Public Health Preparedness with the goal of collaboratively protecting and promoting the health and wellbeing of Boston residents facing increasing temperatures and other climate risks.

波士頓市議會通過撥款200萬元資助「科技回家」項目

              (Boston Orange 編譯) 波士頓市議會上週無異議通過，動用美國援救計劃法 (ARPA) 紓困款，投資200萬元，資助波士頓市內「科技回家 (Tech Goes Home) 」項目走進更多社區。

「科技回家」項目宣傳長 (Chief Advocacy Officer) Marvin Venay表示，新冠病毒凸顯了社會中的數位不平等更，這筆款項將容許該機構幫助更多需要工具及資源，才能進入數位世界的人。他們很感激波士頓市議會議長Ed Flynn，市議員Kenzie Bok， Julia Mejia等人的發起與支持撥款。

「科技回家」為波士頓市內3到96歲市民，提供高品質的數位設備，可靠的網路，以及由可信賴的社區指導人員帶領的客製化數位技能訓練。許多課程將完全在網上教授，以符合波士頓的需求，也保護學習者及教員的安全。

有了200萬元的紓困款後，「科技回家」將可和波士頓市內100多個社區組織合作，每年讓4500戶以上的波士頓家庭，或是在4年間讓6到7萬人獲得可靠的，可負擔的網路服務。

Boston City Council Approves $2 Million Investment in Tech Goes Home Through American Rescue Plan Act Spending Package

BOSTON, July 18  – The Boston City Council voted unanimously last week to approve a new, $2 million investment in Tech Goes Home (TGH), a Boston-based non-profit working to address digital inequity, as part of the City of Boston’s plan to expend remaining relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

 “This is a transformative investment that will allow Tech Goes Home to reach even further into communities across Boston and connect those in need with the tools and resources they require to participate in the digital world,” said TGH Chief Advocacy Officer Marvin Venay. “The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on the impact of digital inequity, and we are grateful to City Councilor Bok, who advocated for this funding, as well as Councilors Flynn, Mejia, and every member of the Council who recognized the critical importance of advancing digital equity efforts as part of a just, equitable, and sustainable recovery.”  

 TGH works in partnership with a diverse network of community-based organizations in Boston to provide learners - ranging in age from 3 to 96 - with high-quality digital devices, reliable internet, and tailored digital skills training led by trusted community instructors. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, TGH worked with instructors and partner organizations to make many of its courses fully virtual, helping meet the burgeoning need in Boston while keeping learners and instructors safe. 

 With the $2 million in ARPA funding, TGH will be able to engage 100+ new community-based organizations across Boston to host TGH programming, expanding access for potentially thousands of Boston residents. In addition, TGH will increase staff capacity and support for instructors, enabling them to connect individuals and families in Boston with new federal programs offering affordable, reliable internet access; in total, TGH expects to reach 4,500 households per year – 60,000 - 70,000 people over four years – in Boston with reliable, affordable internet for the long term. 

 “Internet is becoming as essential a public utility as water and sewer,” said Councilor Bok, Chair of the COVID-19 Recovery Committee. “Still, too many residents are without internet access and are missing out on school, public meetings, critical information, and key services. I am so pleased that ARPA funds will be used by Tech Goes Home to get more Boston residents online and begin closing the digital divide.”

 City Council President Ed Flynn, who has been a long-time champion of digital equity efforts, said, “ensuring residents - particularly our working class families, immigrant neighbors, communities of color, and our seniors - have access to affordable and reliable internet is critical as services become increasingly dependent on the internet. I’m proud to work with Tech Goes Home on addressing issues of digital equity, and I know that this additional funding from the City will enable Tech Goes Home to further close the digital divide. I look forward to continuing working together."

 "This is a major win for our city. We have been working since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that every household in Boston has access to the internet, and this recent victory gets us one step closer. I want to thank Tech Goes Home for their persistent advocacy in this space,” said Councilor Julia Mejia, who has worked alongside TGH to expand digital access during her time on the City Council. 

中華專協理財講座 蘇鴻昌談年輕人應從做預算開始

紐英崙中華專業人員協會舉辦「如何做好完善理財規劃」講座。 (視頻截圖)

           (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 紐英崙中華專業人員協會7月14日晚在網上舉辦理財講座。財務規劃師蘇鴻昌以「如何做好完善理財規劃」為主題，說明理財規劃視各人年齡，收入，持有資產及種類等差別，各有不同關鍵，人們宜先檢視各自狀況，再做計劃。

蘇鴻昌指理財有累積及分配2個階段。 (視頻截圖)

蘇鴻昌指出，一般人理財分2大階段，亦即累積及分配財富。在年輕到退休期間，累積財富比較重要，從退休之後直到離世階段，學習善於分配財富，很重要。

以年輕人來說，規劃財富可先從編列預算開始，列出必要及非必要開銷，並累積一筆至少足以應付半年必要開銷的儲備金。如果有債務，先還利率高的信用卡債，學生貸款等反而可以延後再處理。

個人收入充裕，有餘錢的人，應該計畫投資，一般來說買股票，置產是最常見的投資途徑，而且買房子辦貸款，有時候還可以抵稅，長期來說，在波士頓買房子增值的機率也高。

蘇鴻昌指出，做財富分配時，要依各個人預估在世時間長短來計畫。持有401k退休帳戶的人，存款金額至少比照公司的匹配額，以獲得加倍效益。

如果已婚，或已置產，有償還貸款責任時，最好把一旦發生意外，該如何處理個人的身後資產，也預做規劃，以在合理範圍內保障家人的生活。

蘇鴻昌以自己的小兒子去年初意外辭世為例，指出年輕人及早訂立遺囑的重要性。他指出天有不測風雲。人們很難料將來如何。一旦發生意外，家屬得等州政府做遺囑認證，至少半年多以後，才能接管辭世者的生前資產，如果家人沒有其他經濟來源，就可能出現青黃不接，生活難以為繼的窘困。

他指出，訂立遺囑，可以簡單到自己從網站上下載文件，表格，填妥後找律師公證，即生效，也可以是根據個人及家庭狀況，海外資產多寡等有很複雜細節，需要理財規劃師、律師和會技師聯合規劃。

在分配財富上，近年流行辦理信託，把個人資產存入信託。蘇鴻昌指出，這做法的好處是可以避免遺囑認證，在個人辭世後，可以立即照信託條款分配個人財富。由於每州法令不同，每個人的處境有差異，需要比較仔細規畫者，最好找持有資格認證的財務規劃師討論。

紐英崙中華專業人員協會董事長周萬欽，會長林致中在會末表示，該會今年訂10月舉辦年會，將討論自媒體營運。
